Description
The Get-MPIOAvailableHW cmdlet lists available hardware devices in the system that can be managed by the Microsoft Device Specific Module (MSDSM) for Multipath I/O (MPIO).
To add one of the devices to MSDSM supported hardware list, use the vendor identifier (ID) and product ID of the device that are outputs from this cmdlet as inputs for the New-MSDSMSupportedHW cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1: Get connected multipath-capable devices
PS C:\> Get-MPIOAvailableHW
This example returns a list of multipath-capable devices currently connected to the system.
Example 2: Get connected multipath-capable devices for a bus type
PS C:\> Get-MPIOAvailableHW -BusType iSCSI
This example returns a list of multipath-capable devices currently connected to the system via iSCSI.
Optional Parameters
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.
