Description

The Get-Volume cmdlet will return a Volume object or a set of Volume objects that match the specified criteria.

Note: Dynamic volumes are supported only by the following cmdlets: Repair-Volume (chkdsk), Optimize-Volume (defrag), and Format-Volume (format) on basic disks and storage spaces.

Examples

Example 1: Get all volumes

PS C:\>Get-Volume

This example returns all volumes on all partitions, on all disks.

Example 2: Get the volume for a particular drive letter

PS C:\>Get-Volume -DriveLetter C
DriveLetter         FileSystemLabel     FileSystem          HealthStatus              SizeRemaining                Size
-----------         ---------------     ----------          ------------              -------------                ----
C                                       NTFS                Healthy                        23.61 GB           465.42 GB

This example gets the Volume object for drive letter C.

Parameters

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

-DiskImage

Gets the volume associated with the specified DiskImage object. Enter a DiskImage CIM object, which is returned by the Get-DiskImage cmdlet.

Type:	CimInstance

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-StorageNode

Specifies a storage node object that hosts volumes to get. To obtain a StorageNode object, use the Get-StorageNode cmdlet.

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-StoragePool

Specifies a storage pool that contains volumes to get. To obtain StoragePool objects, use the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.

Accept pipeline input:	True
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

Outputs

CimInstance

This cmdlet returns one or more objects that represent the specified volume(s).

Notes

• When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
