Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode
Enables storage maintenance mode on a device.
Syntax
Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode

[-ValidateVirtualDisksHealthy <Boolean>]
[-Model <String>]
[-Manufacturer <String>]
[-CimSession <CimSession>]
[-AsJob]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode cmdlet enables storage maintenance mode on a PhysicalDisk device.
You can use this cmdlet on storage fault domains, which include PhysicalDisk, Enclosure, and SSU, that are part of a Storage Spaces pool or virtual disk. While a device is in maintenance mode, no input/output operations flow to that device. Instead, if other fault domains are available and configured, other fault domains serve input/output commands. If enabling storage maintenance mode takes the last copy of data offline for a virtual disk, this cmdlet does not enable maintenance mode.
Examples
Example 1: Enable maintenance mode on a physical disk
PS C:\>Get-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "Disk22" | Enable-StorageMaintenanceModeThis command gets a physical disk by using the Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet, and then passes that object to the current cmdlet. The command enables storage maintenance mode on the disk named Disk22.
Example 2: Enable maintenance mode on an enclosure
PS C:\>Get-StorageEnclosure -FriendlyName "Enclosure17" | Enable-StorageMaintenanceModeThis command gets a storage enclosure disk by using the Get-StorageEnclosure cmdlet, and then passes that object to the current cmdlet. The command enables storage maintenance mode on the enclosure named Enclosure17.
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 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-IgnoreDetachedVirtualDisks
Indicates that this cmdlet ignores detached virtual disks when it performs the criticality check for last data-copy and other health metrics.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| 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 |
-Manufacturer
Specifies the manufacturer of a device. This cmdlet matches manufacturer information of physical disk devices, and places those devices in maintenance mode.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Model
Specifies the model of a physical disk device that this cmdlet places in maintenance mode. If multiple devices fit a model string, this cmdlet places those devices in maintenance mode.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ValidateVirtualDisksHealthy
Indicates whether this cmdlet validates that all virtual disks in the fault domain to be placed in maintenance mode are healthy before it proceeds.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Inputs
MSFT_StorageFaultDomain
You can pipe a fault domain object, PhysicalDisk, Enclosure, or SSU to this cmdlet.
Notes
- You can run this cmdlet only for fault domains that host resilient virtual disks, which include Mirror and Parity Space.
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
