Description

The Get-StorageReliabilityCounter cmdlet gets the storage reliability counters for the specified disk or physical disk. These counters include information about such things as the device temperature, errors, wear, and length of time the device has been in use.

Examples

Example 1: Get the counters for a specified physical disk

This command gets the physical disk named PhysicalDisk8, and uses the pipeline operator to pass it to Get-StorageReliabilityCounter, which gets its storage reliability counters.

Required Parameters

-Disk

Specifies a disk for which to get storage reliability counters.

Type: CimInstance
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-PhysicalDisk

Specifies the physical disk object for which to get storage reliability counters. Enter a PhysicalDisk CIM object.

PhysicalDisk objects represent physical disks attached to a storage subsystem and located in a storage pool.

Type: CimInstance
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional 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
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
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
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Inputs

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_PhysicalDisk

You can pipe an MSFT_PhysicalDisk object to the PhysicalDisk parameter to get the storage reliability counters for the specified physical disk.

Inputs

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Disk

You can pipe an MSFT_Disk object to the Disk parameter to get the storage reliability counters for the specified disk.

Outputs

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_StorageReliabilityCounter

The Get-StorageReliabilityCounter cmdlet returns a StorageReliabilityCounter object, or an array of StorageReliabilityCounter objects.
