[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Enable-StorageEnclosureIdentification cmdlet enables the identification LED on the specified storage enclosure and, optionally, on the slots for individual disks. Administrators typically use LEDs to locate a physical disk in an enclosure for removal or replacement. This cmdlet requires a storage enclosure that supports SCSI Enclosure Services (SES).
Examples
Example 1: Enable identification of an enclosure
PS C:\>Enable-StorageEnclosureIdentification -FriendlyName "E11"This command enables identification for the enclosure named E11.
Example 2: Enable identification of specified slot numbers
PS C:\>Enable-StorageEnclosureIdentification -FriendlyName "E11" -SlotNumbers @(20, 14)This command enables identification for the slots numbers 20 and 14 of the enclosure named E11.
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 |
-FriendlyName
Specifies an array of friendly names. This cmdlet turns on the identification LED for the enclosures that the names specify or for slots that belong to the specified enclosures.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| 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 |
-PassThru
Returns an array of StorageEnclosure objects. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SlotNumbers
Specifies an array of slot numbers. This cmdlet turns on the identification LEDs for the slots that the numbers identify.
| Type: | UInt32[] |
| 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.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-UniqueId
Specifies an array of IDs. This cmdlet turns on the identification LED for the enclosures that the IDs specify or for slots that belong to the specified enclosures.
| Type: | String[] |
| Aliases: | Id |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Outputs
MSFT_StorageEnclosure[]
This cmdlet does not generate any output by default. If you specify the PassThru parameter, the cmdlet returns an array of MSFT_StorageEnclosure objects.
Notes
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
