Syntax
Get-EmcDatastore [[-ID] <String>] [-VcenterSystem <IVcenterSystem>] [-Silent] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-EmcDatastore [[-ID] <String>] [-Silent] [-ESXHostSystem <IEsxHostSystem>] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-EmcDatastore [[-ID] <String>] [-Silent] [-ScsiLun <ScsiLun>] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-EmcDatastore [[-ID] <String>] [-Silent] [-Lun <Lun>] [<CommonParameters>]
Parameters
-ID <String>
Attributes: Optional, Position: 1
Specifies the VMware datastore name or Uuid. Wildcards are permitted. It is a positional parameter (position = 1).
-VcenterSystem <IVcenterSystem>
Attributes: Optional, Position: named
Specifies the vCenter server.
-Silent <SwitchParameter>
Attributes: Optional, Position: named
Turns off all the informational and verbose messages. However, it still displays errors.
-ESXHostSystem <IESXHostSystem>
Attributes: Optional, Position: named
Specifies the ESI ESX host system object, which you can get by using the Get-EmcESXHost cmdlet.
-ScsiLun <ScsiLun>
Attributes: Optional, Position: named
Specifies the ESI SCSI LUN object, which you can get by using the ESI VMware system or ESX host system object, or by using the Get-EmcScsiLun cmdlet.
-Lun <Lun>
Attributes: Optional, Position: named
Specifies the ESI LUN object, which you can get by using the ESI storage system object or by using the Get-EmcLun cmdlet.
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports these common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, and OutVariable. Type get-help about_commonparameters for more details.
Examples
-------------- Example 1 --------------
C:\PS>$hBlob = Get-EmcVmWareSystemCredential
C:\PS>$h = $hBlob | Connect-EmcSystem
C:\PS>Get-EmcDatastore -VcenterSystem $h
C:\PS>$h | Update-EmcSystem
C:\PS>Get-EmcDatastore -VcenterSystem $h
This example gets all datastores of the specified Vcenter system.
-------------- Example 2 --------------
C:\PS>$h = Get-EmcHostSystem *myVMware*
C:\PS>$h | Update-EmcSystem
C:\PS>$h | Get-EmcDatastore -ID *datastore1
C:\PS>$h | Get-EmcDatastore *datastore1
This example gets the datastores of the specified VMware system with the specified name. Wildcards are permitted. Because the ID parameter is positional, you can omit the name.
-------------- Example 3 --------------
C:\PS>$vc = Get-EmcVcenterSystem *myVcenter*
C:\PS>$esxhost = Get-EmcESXHost -VcenterSystem $vc
C:\PS>Get-EmcDatastore -ESXHostSystem $esxhost
This example gets all datastores of the specified ESX host system.
-------------- Example 4 --------------
C:\PS>$lun = Get-EmcLUN -ID 298
C:\PS> Get-EmcDatastore -Lun $lun
This example gets the datastores associated with the specified LUN object.
-------------- Example 5 --------------
C:\PS>$sl = Get-EmcScsiLun -ID *myScsiLun*
C:\PS> Get-EmcDatastore -ScsiLun $sl
This example gets the datastores associated with the specified SCSI LUN object.
