Creates a storage pool.

Syntax

New-SCStoragePool
   [-VMMServer <ServerConnection>]
   -Name <String>
   [-Description <String>]
   -StorageArray <StorageArray>
   -StoragePhysicalDisk <StoragePhysicalDisk[]>
   -StorageClassification <StorageClassification>
   [-FaultDomainAwareness <FaultDomainAwarenessType>]
   [-InterleaveDefaultKB <UInt64>]
   [-RunAsynchronously]
   [-PROTipID <Guid>]
   [-JobVariable <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The New-SCStoragePool cmdlet creates a storage pool.

Examples

Example 1: Create pool from physical disks

PS C:\> $Disks = Get-SCStoragePhysicalDisk | where {$_.CanPool -eq $True}
PS C:\> New-SCStoragePool -StoragePhysicalDisk $Disks -Name "Pool01"

The first command gets all physical disk objects that can be pooled and stores the objects in the $Disks variable.

The second command creates a storage pool named Pool01 with the physical disks stored in $Disks.
