  • Reference
Module:
Storage

Unpins a file from the specified storage tier.

Syntax

Clear-FileStorageTier
     -FilePath <String>
     [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
     [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
     [-AsJob]
     [-WhatIf]
     [-Confirm]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Clear-FileStorageTier cmdlet unpins a file from the specified storage tier. If you unpin a file, it can move between tiers as appropriate for how often the file is accessed. You can pin, or add, a file to a storage tier by using the Set-FileStorageTier cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a file from a storage tier

PS C:\> Clear-FileStorageTier -FilePath "D:\DataFile06.txt"

This command removes the file D:\DataFile06.txt from a storage tier.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input: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.

-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.

Notes

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