Example 3

PS C:\> Get-Volume -Cluster $cluster -Type Clone

Where $cluster is a PowerStore cluster instance. Returns all clone volumes on the PowerStore cluster.

Example 4

PS C:\> Get-Volume -Cluster $cluster -Id uuid1,uuid2

Example 6

PS C:\> Get-Volume -Cluster $cluster -VolumeGroup vg1,vg2

Where $cluster is a PowerStore cluster instance. Returns volumes associated with volume group names vg1 and vg2.

NOTES

Getting all volumes on the cluster will return a significant amount of data if the cluster has a lot of volumes and the volumes are mapped to many hosts. Performance may be impacted so it may be more efficient to query a subset of volumes or use the -Identify option to get an initial list of Id,Name pairs for further processing.
