Description

The Get-StorageProvider cmdlet returns a list of the storage providers available on the local computer. This cmdlet returns a list of the available storage providers available to the computer, such as a SMP hardware provider, or a SMI-S provider connection.

Examples

Example 1: Get all Storage providers

PS C:\>Get-StorageProvider
Type    Name                                                    Manufacturer
----    ----                                                    ------------
SMP     Storage Spaces Management Provider                      Microsoft Corporation

This command gets all available Storage providers on the system.

Parameters

-AsJob

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

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments: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.

Parameter properties

Type:

CimSession[]

Default value:None

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

ByName
Position:Named

-Name

Specifies the name of an object or setting.

Parameter properties

Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

ByName
Position:0

-StorageSubSystem

Accepts a StorageSubsystem object as input. The Storage Subsystem CIM object is exposed by the Get-StorageSubsystem cmdlet.

Parameter sets

ByStorageSubSystem
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:True
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments: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.

Parameter properties

Type:Int32
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False

Inputs

CimInstance

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Outputs

CimInstance

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Notes

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