Examples


Example 1: Enable the identification LED on all physical disks in a pool

PS C:\> $stpool = (Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SpacePool")
PS C:\> Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication -StoragePool $stpool



This example enables the identification LED on all physical disks associated with the storage pool SpacePool. This is useful for identifying a specific virtual disk, when
the LED on the disk in question is not functioning.




Example 2: Enable the identification LED on all physical disks used by a virtual disk

PS C:\> $vdisk = (Get-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "Bruce's Music")
PS C:\> Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication -VirtualDisk $vdisk



This example enables the identification LED on all physical disks associated with the virtual disk named Bruce’s Music to visually identify the physical disk associated with
the virtual disk.




Example 3: Enable the identification LED on all disks that are not healthy

PS C:\> Get-PhysicalDisk | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.HealthStatus –Ne "healthy" } | Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication



This example gets all physical disks with a health status that is not Healthy, and pipes the disks to the Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication cmdlet, enabling the LEDs on the
disks, if supported by the drive enclosure.
