[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk cmdlet allows the creation of a VirtualDisk object on a storage subsystem that does not support creation of storage pools, or if its storage pool does not support virtual disk creation.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\> $stsubsys = (Get-StorageSubsystem)
PS C:\> New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk -StorageSubsystemUniqueId $stsubsys.UniqueID -FriendlyName "VirtualDisk01" -Size "5GB" -ProvisioningType FixedThis example creates a Virtual Disk named VirtualDisk01 on the provided StorageSubsystem without the use of a Storage Pool
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
| Type: | CimSession[] |
| Aliases: | Session |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-FaultDomainAwareness
Specifies the default fault domain for new virtual disks created in this storage pool. The fault domain specifies at what level you want to be fault tolerant. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- PhysicalDisk
- StorageScaleUnit
- StorageChassis
- StorageEnclosure
- StorageRack
| Type: | FaultDomainType |
| Accepted values: | PhysicalDisk, StorageEnclosure, StorageScaleUnit, StorageChassis, StorageRack |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-FriendlyName
Specifies a friendly name for a virtual disk. The friendly name may be defined by a user and is not guaranteed to be unique.
| Type: | String |
| Aliases: | VirtualDiskFriendlyName |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InputObject
Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.
| Type: | CimInstance[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Interleave
Specifies the interleave value to use during the creation of a storage tier.
The interleave value represents the number of bytes that is written to a single physical disk.
Therefore, Interleave * NumberOfColumns yields the size of one stripe of user data.
| Type: | UInt64 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-IsEnclosureAware
Specifies that the enclosure supports SCSI Enclosure Services (SES), which is utilized for providing things like Slot location for a physical disk, as well as to manage LEDs on the disks for visual identification.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-NumberOfColumns
Specifies the number of columns to create.
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-NumberOfDataCopies
Specifies the number of data copies to create.
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-OtherUsageDescription
Specifies the usage of this object.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ParityLayout
Specifies the parity layout to be used with the virtual disk to be created.
| Type: | ParityLayout |
| Accepted values: | NonRotatedParity, RotatedParity |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PhysicalDiskRedundancy
Specifies the physical disk redundancy value to use during the creation of a virtual disk.
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ProvisioningType
Specifies the type of provisioning. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Unknown, Fixed, or Thin.
| Type: | ProvisioningType |
| Accepted values: | Unknown, Thin, Fixed |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-RequestNoSinglePointOfFailure
Requests that the virtual disk is created on hardware that has path redundancy to provide resilience to storage path faults. This cannot be guaranteed.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Inputs
The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects.
The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
Outputs
The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects.

Notes
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
