Description

The Hide-VirtualDisk cmdlet hides the virtual disk from the host when the Storage Management Provider in use does not support masking sets. This is equivalent to masking.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1 

PS C:\> $iniport = (Get-InitiatorPort)
PS C:\> $tarport = (Get-TargetPort)
PS C:\> Hide-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "SQLData_27a" -TargetPortAddresses $tarport.NodeAddress -InitiatorAddress $iniport.NodeAddress

This example displays hides the virtual disk when the storage provider does not support masking sets. This cmdlet can be used either locally or remotely, to hide or deny access.

Required Parameters

-FriendlyName

Specifies a friendly name for a virtual disk. The friendly name may be defined by a user and is not guaranteed to be unique.

Type: String[]
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-InputObject

Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.

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

Specifies the name of an object or setting.

Type: String[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-UniqueId

Specifies an ID used to uniquely identify a Disk object in the system. The ID persists through restarts.

Type: String[]
Aliases: Id
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
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
-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: cf
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-InitiatorAddress

Specifies the address for an initiator.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-PassThru

Sends items from the interactive window down the pipeline as input to other cmdlets. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

To send items from the interactive window down the pipeline, click to select the items and then click OK. Shift-click and Ctrl-click are supported.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-TargetPortAddresses

Specifies one or more target port addresses.

Type: String[]
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
-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: wi
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
