NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB1\Exch-DB1.vhdx -SizeBytes 495GB
NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB2\Exch-DB2.vhdx -SizeBytes 495GB
NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB3\Exch-DB3.vhdx -SizeBytes 495GB
NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB4\Exch-DB4.vhdx -SizeBytes 495GB
NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB5\Exch-DB5.vhdx -SizeBytes 495GB
NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB6\Exch-DB6.vhdx -SizeBytes 495GB

Are you getting any errors?

Does it work like this:

NEW-VHD -Path C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB6\Exch-DB6.vhdx -Fixed -SizeBytes 495GB

Remember, you can use -Whatif to see what the line does...

hyper-v\NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB2\Exch-DB2.vhdx -Size 4GB

hyper-v\NEW-VHD -Fixed C:\ClusterStorage\Exch-DB6\Exch-DB6.vhdx -Size 4GB

Open in new window

I have 2 hyper-v  modules so I had to select the right one.  Note the Size vs SizeBytes
