Detailed Description
The Get-StorageTier gets storage tiers on Storage Spaces subsystems. Storage tiers are physical disks that are grouped by characteristics, for example, solid-state drives (SSD) and hybrid hard drives (HHD).

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>
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 PowerShell® 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.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_StoragePool
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_StoragePool object to the StoragePool parameter to get the storage tier associated with the StoragePool object.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_VirtualDisk object to the VirtualDisk parameter to get the storage tier associated with the VirtualDisk object.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
-
This cmdlet returns an object that contains details about the storage tier, such as tier friendly name, media type and size.
Examples
Example 1: Get a storage tier
This command gets the storage tier named StoreTier01.
PS C:\> Get-StorageTier -FriendlyName "StoreTier01"
Example 2: Get a storage tier from a storage pool
This command gets the object that contains the storage pool named StorePool01, and then passes the object to the Get-StorageTier cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The Get-StorageTier cmdlet gets the storage tier from the storage pool object.
PS C:\> Get-StoragePool -StoragePoolFriendlyName "StorePool01" | Get-StorageTier
Example 3: Get a storage tier from a virtual disk
This command uses the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet to get the tiered virtual disk named VDisk01. The command passes the virtual disk to the Get-StorageTier cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The Get-StorageTier cmdlet gets the storage tiers that compose the tiered virtual disk.
PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk-FriendlyName "VDisk01" | Get-StorageTier
