Attributes: Required, Position: named

Specifies the name of the VMAX storage group.

-ID <String>

-VmaxStorageSystem <IVmaxStorageGroupManager>

Attributes: Required, Position: named

Specifies the ESI storage system system object. You can add a storage system object to ESI with the Get-EmcStorageSystemCredential and Connect-EmcSystem cmdlets. You can get a storage system object with the Get-EmcStorageSystem cmdlet.

-Luns <Lun[]>

Attributes: Optional, Position: named

Specifies the list of ESI LUN objects. You can get a LUN object with the ESI storage system object or Get-EmcLun cmdlet. You can get unbound LUNs with the Get-EmcUnboundLun cmdlet.

-DeleteWhenRemovedFromMaskingView <SwitchParameter>

Examples

-------------- Example 1 --------------

C:\PS>Getting Storage System

$storage = Get-EmcStorageSystem –ID *VMAX348

C:\PS>$luns=Get-EmcLun -ID *test*

C:\PS>$newstoragegroup =New-EmcVmaxStorageGroup -Name dummy_sg -VmaxStroageSystem $storage -Luns $luns

This example gets the specified VMAX storage group for the specified storage system and then adds the specified LUNs to the specified VMAX storage group.
