I am using the below cmdlet to find out if it is SAN or local disk storage type
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_DiskDrive
However it is not giving the desired result. What is the correct cmdlet to distinguish between SAN or local storage?
windows powershell disk san

Look at theRootproperty ofGet-PsDrive -PSProvider 'Filesystem'or at the DriveType ofGet-WmiObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk(LocalDisk=3,NetworkDisk=4) Also see stackoverflow.com/questions/31088930/…

I didn't suggestGet-Disk, but take a look at the properties which that cmdlet exposes withGet-Disk | Format-List *

WithGet-Disk | Format-List *I am not getting anything related tolocalornetwork. The property that makes sense to me isBusType: Fibre Channel (for SAN)Can you suggest if it is correct property?

Well again, I didn't suggest Get-Disk. It depends on how your SAN is integrated, an iScsi-Disk could posssibly be seen as a local disk. But IMO this gets a bit off topic here and is probaply better asked in serverfault.com.

With
Get-Disk | Format-List * I am not getting anything related to local or network. The property that makes sense to me is BusType: Fibre Channel (for SAN) Can you suggest if it is correct property?– meallhour
