Cause

This error message is generated if the Enterprise Vault Admin uses different type of parameters in the PowerShell command.

 

Resolution

In order to resolve this issue, do not mix 'ID' with 'Name' parameters in the command. In the error message above, parameter -PolicyName was mixed with the following parameters: -FileServerId, -VaultStoreId, and -TaskId causing the error. Use the following syntax to run this PowerShell command:

New-EVFSAVolume [-SiteId ] [-Name] [-FileServerName] [-VaultStoreName] [-TaskName] [-PolicyName] [-DisableArchiving []] [-WhatIf []] [-Confirm []] []

New-EVFSAVolume [-SiteId ] [-Name] -FileServerId -VaultStoreId -TaskId -PolicyId [-DisableArchiving []] [-WhatIf []] [-Confirm []] []
