[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect cmdlet enables highly available Storage Spaces that use
directly attached storage Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) on a cluster.
Examples
Example 1: Enable Storage Spaces Direct
Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirectThis command enables S2D on the cluster.
Example 2: Enable Storage Spaces Direct specifying a Friendly Name
Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect -PoolFriendlyName 'Sales'This command enables S2D on the cluster and sets a friendly name for the Storage Spaces Direct pool.
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 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Autoconfig
Indicates that this cmdlet that the pool should be automatically created and configured. When a pool already exists before Storage Spaces Direct is enabled the AutoConfig parameter becomes a no-op. AutoConfig is set to true by default. If you don't want the pool to be automatically created, but created manually, you should set AutoConfig to false.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CacheDeviceModel
Specifies a list of disk models that should be used by Storage Spaces Direct cache. When this parameter is omitted the system automatically determines which disks to use for the operation.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CacheMetadataReserveBytes
| Type: | UInt64 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CachePageSizeKBytes
Specifies the page size used by Storage Spaces Direct cache. This parameter is useful to control the memory footprint used to manage the pages. To reduce the memory overhead on systems with considerably large amounts of storage the page size can be increased to 32 kilobytes (KB) or even 64 KB. The default value is 16 KB, which represents a good tradeoff on most systems.
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Accepted values: | 8, 16, 32, 64 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CacheState
Specifies the Storage Spaces Direct cache state. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
Enabled or Disabled. The default value is Enabled.
| Type: | CacheStateType |
| Accepted values: | Disabled, Enabled |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| 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 |
| Required: | False |
| 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 |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PoolFriendlyName
Specifies the friendly name of the Storage Spaces Direct pool when it is created.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SkipEligibilityChecks
Indicates that this cmdlet skips cache eligibility checks.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| 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 |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet isn't run.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | wi |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-XML
Specifies the XML file that contains the storage supported configuration information.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
