<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_InitiatorId

    You can pipe an InitiatorId object to the InitiatorId 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_TargetPort

    You can pipe a TargetPort object to the TargetPort 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_MaskingSet

    This cmdlet outputs an object that represents a masking set.

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 masking sets

This example gets and displays all existing MaskingSet objects which have been created using any available Storage Management Providers across all visible storage subsystems.

PS C:\> Get-MaskingSet

Example 2: Get all Microsoft Windows masking sets

This example gets and displays all masking sets hosted by a computer running Microsoft Windows.

PS C:\> Get-MaskingSet -HostType MicrosoftWindows

Example 3: Get the masking set for a specific virtual disk

This example gets the masking set for the CompanyData virtual disk. It does so by using the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet to get the appropriate VirtualDisk object and provide it to the VirtualDisk parameter of Get-MaskingSet.

PS C:\> Get-MaskingSet -VirtualDisk (Get-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName CompanyData)

Get-InitiatorPort

Get-TargetPort

New-MaskingSet

Remove-MaskingSet

Rename-MaskingSet
