Description

The Get-StorageFileServer cmdlet gets the specified storage file server or all discovered storage file servers.

Examples

Example 1: Get all file servers

PS C:\>Get-StorageFileServer

This command gets all file servers known by the current system.

Example 2: Get a file server by name

PS C:\>Get-StorageFileServer -StorageFileServerFriendlyName "MyFileServer" | Format-List

This command gets the file server named MyFileServer and uses the pipeline to send it to Format-List, which displays its properties.

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
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

-FriendlyName

Specifies an array of friendly names of file servers. Some servers may assign a default friendly name that users cannot modify.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None

-Subsystem

Specifies the Storage subsystem.

Type:CimInstance
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
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
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

-UniqueId

Specifies an array of unique IDs of file servers.

Notes

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