This example changes the friendly name of StoragePool to StoragePool2.
Example 2: Make a read-only storage pool writeable
PS C:\>Set-StoragePool -FriendlyName "Storage Pool 1" -IsReadOnly $False
This example makes the storage pool named Storage Pool 1 writable when it is in a read-only state.
Example 3: Set the default resiliency and provisioning settings
PS C:\>Set-StoragePool -FriendlyName "Storage Pool 1" -ResiliencySettingsNameDefault Mirror -ProvisioningTypeDefault Thin
This example makes any new virtual disks by default use the Mirror resiliency setting and thin provisioning.

-AutoWriteCacheSize
Indicates whether to set the size of the write-back cache to 1 GB for all types of storage spaces, which include simple, mirror, and parity, to create from the pool.
If the number or size of the solid-state drives (SSDs) or journal disks in the storage pool is not sufficient and you specify a value of $True for this parameter, the cmdlet sets the write-back cache size to 0 for simple and mirror spaces, and to 32 MB for parity spaces.

-EnclosureAwareDefault
Specifies that the storage pool should use enclosure awareness by default when creating storage spaces.
To support deployments that require an added level of fault tolerance, Storage Spaces can associate each copy of data with a particular just-a-bunch-of-disk (JBOD) enclosure.
This capability is known as enclosure awareness.
With enclosure awareness, if one enclosure fails or goes offline, the data remains available in one or more alternate enclosures.
To use enclosure awareness, you must use JBODs that are certified for use with Storage Spaces and you must have a sufficient number of JBODs and disks to support the resiliency types of the storage spaces you create (generally you'll need three or four JBODs).
For a list of certified JBODs, see the Windows Server Catalog.
For more information about enclosure awareness, see Software-Defined Storage Design Considerations Guidehttps://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt243829(v=ws.11).aspx.

-FaultDomainAwarenessDefault
Specifies the default fault ___domain for new virtual disks created in this storage pool.
The acceptable values for this parameter are:
PhysicalDisk
StorageScaleUnit
StorageChassis
StorageEnclosure
StorageRack
The fault ___domain specifies at what level you want to be fault tolerant.
For example, specify StorageScaleUnit to store data copies on separate nodes of a Storage Spaces Direct cluster.
This cmdlet refers to nodes of a Storage Spaces Direct cluster as storage scale units because you can expand the scale of the cluster by adding more nodes.
Specifies the friendly name of the storage pool on which you want to set attributes.

-RetireMissingPhysicalDisks
Specifies when Windows should set the Usage property of physical disks missing from a storage pool to Retired.
The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-Auto This is the default setting for storage pools.
When set to Auto, Windows retires missing disks, but doesn't automatically rebuild affected virtual disks unless there are physical disks whose Usage value is set to HotSpare, in which case Windows rebuilds the virtual disks five minutes after the failed write operation.
-Always This is the recommended setting when using free pool space to rebuild storage spaces instead of using hot-spare disks.
When set to Always, Windows retires missing physical disks and automatically rebuilds affected virtual disks five minutes after the failed write operation.
-Never When set to Never, Windows never retires missing physical disks.

-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.
