Description

The Start-FsrmStorageReport cmdlet starts generating one or more storage reports on demand. You cannot use this cmdlet to start interactive storage reports or storage reports that do not have a schedule.

You can view the reports immediately after the server generates them or e-mail the reports to a group of administrators. If you choose to open the reports immediately, you must wait while the reports are generated. Processing time varies, depending on the types of reports and the scope of the data.

Examples

Example 1: Start a storage report

PS C:\> Start-FsrmStorageReport "Monthly report"

This command starts the storage report named "Monthly report" immediately.

Example 2: Queue a storage report and set the run duration

PS C:\> Start-FsrmStorageReport "Monthly report" -Queue -RunDuration 4

This command queues the storage report named "Monthly report" to start in the next 5 minutes and specifies that the server does not run the report job any longer than 4 hours.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-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.
