Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Accepts one or more PhysicalDisk objects as input. The Physical Disk CIM objects represent the physical disks to be removed from the storage pool.

Specifies a storage pool as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with storage pool that you specify. To obtain a storage pool object, use the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.

Specifies the friendly name of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk.

Specifies the name of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk.

Specifies the ID of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk.

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShellr calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Specifies a virtual disk as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with virtual disk that you specify. To obtain a virtual disk object, use the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.

Specifies the friendly name of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk.

Specifies the name of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk.

Specifies the ID of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk.
