Description

The New-VMSan cmdlet creates a new virtual storage area network (SAN) on a Hyper-V host.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> New-VMSan -Name Production -Note "Production SAN" -WorldWideNodeName C003FF0000FFFF00 -WorldWidePortName C003FF5778E50002

Creates a new virtual storage area network (SAN) with the specified Name, Note, WorldWideNodeName, and WorldWidePortName.

Parameters

-CimSession
