Description
The Enable-PhysicalDiskIdentification cmdlet enables the identification LED on the specified physical disk. The LED is typically used for visual identification of the location of a physical disk in an enclosure for removal and replacement operations. This cmdlet requires a storage enclosure that supports SCSI Enclosure Services (SES).
Examples
Example 1: Enable the identification LED on all physical disks with certain FriendlyName
PS C:\> Enable-PhysicalDiskIdentification -FriendlyName ST2000LM015-2E8174
This example enables the identification LED on all physical disks with FriendlyName ST2000LM015-2E8174.
Example 2: Enable the identification LED on physical disk with certain UniqueId
sPS C:\> Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication -UniqueId 5000C500B1DA75F6
This example enables the identification LED physical disk with UniqueId 5000C500B1DA75F6.
Example 3: Enable the identification LED on all disks that are not healthy
PS C:\>Get-PhysicalDisk | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.HealthStatus -Ne "healthy" } | Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication
This example gets all physical disks with a health status that is not Healthy, and pipes the disks to the Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication cmdlet, enabling the LEDs on the disks, if supported by the drive enclosure.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
(All)
| Position: | Named |
| Mandatory: | False |
| Value from pipeline: | False |
| Value from pipeline by property name: | False |
| Value from remaining arguments: | 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.
Parameter properties
| Type: | CimSession |
| Default value: | None |

(All)
| Position: | Named |
| Mandatory: | False |
| Value from pipeline: | False |
| Value from pipeline by property name: | False |
| Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-FriendlyName
Specifies the friendly name of the disk on which to enable the identification LED.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
ByName
| Position: | 0 |
| Mandatory: | True |
| Value from pipeline: | True |
| Value from pipeline by property name: | False |
| Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-InputObject
Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.
Parameter properties
| Type: | CimInstance[] |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
ByInputObject
| Position: | Named |
| Mandatory: | True |
| Value from pipeline: | True |
| Value from pipeline by property name: | False |
| Value from remaining arguments: | 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.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Int32 |

CommonParameters
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
Inputs
CimInstance
You can pipe a Disk object to the InputObject parameter.
Outputs
CimInstance
This cmdlet outputs an object that represents the physical disk for which you enabled the identification LED.
Notes
- The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
