vSAN File Category

Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations

Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command

You can READ objects by using Get-VsanFileServiceDomain cmdlet. See example below:

# Retrieves the vSAN file service domain from the $cluster vSAN cluster.

Get-VsanFileServiceDomain -Cluster $cluster

Step 2 : Run commands from the CRUD group

You can CREATE objects by using New-VsanFileServerIpConfig cmdlet. See example below:

# Creates a primary new vSAN file server IP configuration with "192.128.3.253" as a gateway, "192.128.3.11" as an IP address, "h1.vmware.com" as FQDN, and "255.255.255.0" as a subnet mask.

New-VsanFileServerIpConfig -Gateway "192.128.3.253" -SubnetMask "255.255.255.0" -IpAddress "192.128.3.11" -Fqdn "h1.vmware.com" -IsPrimary

You can UPDATE objects by using Add-VsanFileServiceOvf cmdlet. See example below:

# Downloads an OVF file from the specified URL into the vSphere OVF repository.

Add-VsanFileServiceOvf -Url $url

You can REMOVE objects by using Remove-VsanFileServiceDomain cmdlet. See example below:

# Removes the vSAN file service domain without asking for confirmation.

Remove-VsanFileServiceDomain -VsanFileServiceDomain $domain serviceDomain -Confirm:$false
