Update-HostStorageCache

  • Reference
Module:
Storage

Initiates an update on the host storage cache to reflect the current status of storage.

Syntax

Update-HostStorageCache
      [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
      [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
      [-AsJob]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Update-HostStorageCache cmdlet initiates an update on the host storage cache to reflect the current status of storage. This is equivalent to a VDS Rescan, in that it will re-enumerate Disk, Partition, and Volume objects.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\> Update-HostStorageCache

This example updates the host-side storage cache. This includes the Disk, Partition, and Volume objects and any child-items. This cmdlet is equivalent to a VDS Rescan.

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

-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
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

None

Outputs

None

Notes

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