Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> New-VMSan -Name Production -Note "Production SAN" -WorldWideNodeName C003FF0000FFFF00 -WorldWidePortName C003FF5778E50002Creates a new virtual storage area network (SAN) with the specified Name, Note, WorldWideNodeName, and WorldWidePortName.
Parameters
-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.
