Description

The New-SmbMultichannelConstraint cmdlet creates a Server Message Block (SMB) multi-channel constraint for the specified server. This constraint applies to the Default instance of SMB used for normal sharing. It does not apply to SMB-using application instances like Storage Replica, Storage Spaces Direct SBL, or CSV.

Examples

Example 1: Create an SMB multi-channel constraint for an SMB server

PS C:\>New-SmbMultichannelConstraint -ServerName "Contoso-SO" -InterfaceAlias "RDMA1", "RDMA2"
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing operation 'New-SmbMultichannelConstraint' on Target 'Contoso-SO'.
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

InterfaceAlias : RDMA1
InterfaceGuid  : {597b0a73-2b66-4be0-9e6d-f42eae8a35d6}
InterfaceIndex : 12
ServerName     : Contoso-SO
PSComputerName :

InterfaceAlias : RDMA2
InterfaceGuid  : {bd3c4a04-64cf-4205-88f5-38c4c35dfc38}
InterfaceIndex : 15
ServerName     : Contoso-SO
PSComputerName :

This command creates an SMB multi-channel constraint for the SMB server named Contoso-SO.

Example 2: Create an SMB multi-channel constraint for an SMB server without confirmation

PS C:\>New-SmbMultichannelConstraint -ServerName "Contoso-SO" -InterfaceIndex 12, 15 -Force
InterfaceAlias : RDMA1
InterfaceGuid  : {597b0a73-2b66-4be0-9e6d-f42eae8a35d6}
InterfaceIndex : 12
ServerName     : Contoso-SO
PSComputerName :

InterfaceGuid  : {bd3c4a04-64cf-4205-88f5-38c4c35dfc38}
InterfaceIndex : 15
ServerName     : Contoso-SO
PSComputerName :

This command creates an SMB multi-channel constraint for the SMB server named Contoso-SO without user confirmation.

Value from remaining arguments:False

-CimSession

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.

-InterfaceAlias

Specifies the interface aliases of the network interfaces that is used to connect to the server.

Parameter properties

Type:

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

ByInterfaceAlias
Position:2
Mandatory:True
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False

Parameter sets

ByInterfaceIndex
Position:2

-ThrottleLimit

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.
