   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-DedupVolume cmdlet returns a DeduplicationVolume object for each volume that has data deduplication metadata, in either the enabled or disabled state. In a cluster, this cmdlet returns a DeduplicationVolume object only for volumes currently mounted by the managed node, whether the volumes are local or clustered volumes.

To run this cmdlet, you must start Windows PowerShell® with the Run as administrator option.

Examples

Example 1: Get settings for a volume identified by letter 

PS C:\> Get-DedupVolume -Volume "E:"

This command returns the data deduplication settings for volume E:.

Example 2: Get settings for a volume specified by ID 

PS C:\> Get-DedupVolume -Volume "\\?\Volume{26a21bda-a627-11d7-9931-806e6f6e6963}\"

This command returns the data deduplication settings for the volume that has the specified GUID.

Optional Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs .

Type: SwitchParameter

-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.

Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: 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.

Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Volume

Specifies one or more file system volumes for which to return data deduplication metadata, or in the case of a cluster, volumes with data deduplication metadata currently mounted by the managed node. Enter one or more volume IDs, drive letters, or volume GUID paths. For drive letters, use the format D:. For volume GUID paths, use the format \\?\Volume{{GUID}}. Separate multiple volumes with a comma.
