EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk
This example returns all VirtualDisk objects across all visible StoragePool objects, across all visible StorageProvider objects.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\> $stpool = (Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SpacesPool")
PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk -StoragePool $stpool
This example lists only the virtual disks from the StoragePool object named SpacesPool.
EXAMPLE 3
PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk | Where-Object –FilterScript {$_.HealthStatus -Ne "Healthy"}
This example lists all virtual disks, across all pools, and all providers, which are not currently in a healthy state.
EXAMPLE 4
PS C:\> $part = (Get-Partition -DriveLetter Y)
PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk -Partition $part
This example gets the virtual disk associated with the partition with drive letter Y.
