Input Type

BackupExec.Management.CLI.BEStorageArrayDevice

A Backup Exec storage array device object can be piped into Submit-BEStorageArrayDeviceConfigurationJob

Return Value

BackupExec.Management.CLI.BEJob

Submit-BEStorageArrayDeviceConfigurationJob outputs a Backup Exec job object.

Examples

Example 1

C:\PS> Get-BEStorageArrayDevice -Name "Device 0001" | Submit-BEStorageArrayDeviceConfigurationJob -VirtualDiskSizeGigabyte 10

These commands configure a virtual disk of the specified size on the storage array device named "Device 0001". The storage array selects the physical disks that are a part of the disk storage group.

Example 2

C:\PS> $physicalDisks = Get-BEStorageArrayDevice -Name "Device 0001" | Get-BEStorageArrayPhysicalDisk -IsConfigured $false
C:\PS> Get-BEStorageArrayDevice -Name "Device 0001" | Submit-BEStorageArrayDeviceConfigurationJob -ConfigureHotSparesOnly -AddHotSparePhysicalDisk $physicalDisks

These commands configure all of the unconfigured physical disks on a storage array device named "Device 0001" as hot spares.

Example 3

These commands configure a disk storage group with all of the unconfigured physical disks on a storage array device named "Device 0001".
