-HostType<HostType[]>
Specifies the host operating system or other host environmental factors that may influence the behavior that the storage system should have when showing a virtual disk to an initiator. If the HostType property is blank for the object you want to get, omit this parameter.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>
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.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_MaskingSet
You can pipe a MaskingSet object to the MaskingSet parameter.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_StorageSubsystem
You can pipe a StorageSubsystem object to the StorageSubsystem parameter.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk
You can pipe a VirtualDisk object to the VirtualDisk parameter.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_InitiatorId
This cmdlet returns an object that represents an initiator ID.
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.
Examples
Example 1: Get all InitiatorIDs
This example gets and displays all iSCSI initiator IDs on the computer.
PS C:\> Get-InitiatorID
Example 2: Get the storage providers for each InitiatorID
This example gets and displays the storage providers for each InitiatorID by piping the output from the Get-InitiatorId cmdlet to the Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet, and then piping that cmdlet’s output to the Get-StorageProvider cmdlet.
PS C:\> Get-InitiatorId | Get-StorageSubSystem | Get-StorageProvider
Example 3:Get the InitatorID objects for a masking set
This example uses the Get-MaskingSet cmdlet to get the masking set with a friendly name that ends with EQLV1, and then gets all associated InitiatorID objects.
PS C:\> Get-InitiatorId -MaskingSet (Get-MaskingSet -FriendlyName *EQLV1)
