Can't connect to array with PowerShell ?

[Hondaman88]

Hi
I am new to 3 Par. I downloaded the 3 Par PowerShell Toolkit. version 2.0

But I can't get the new-sanconnection command to work... it says cmdlet not found.

I can't get the new-sshconnection command to work either.. it says access denied.

The documentation is kind of sketchy.

Does anyone have a quick example of the best way to connect to the array with Powershell?

Thanks

Here are the basics. you will need plink, and also need to generate ssh keys with puttygen or something. have fun!

function plink
{
[CmdletBinding()]
PARAM
(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
[string] $remoteHost,

[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
[string] $ppk,

[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
[string] $command)

& .\plink.exe $remoteHost -i $ppk $command
return
}

$logfile = "logfile.txt"
$remoteHost = "[user]@[array]"
$ppk = "[private_key].ppk"

$command1 = "removevlun -f [volume_name] [LUN_ID] [Host or Set]"
$command2 = "updatevv -ro -f [volume_name]"
$command3 = "createvlun -f [volume_name] [LUN_ID] [Host or Set]"

try
{
plink $remoteHost $ppk $command1
}
catch
{
"Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" >> $logfile
[send an email or something]
break
}

try
{
plink $remoteHost $ppk $command2
}
catch
{
"Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" >> $logfile
[send an email or something]
break
}

try
{
plink $remoteHost $ppk $command3
}
catch
{
"Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" >> $logfile
[send an email or something]
break
}

Also, you need to make sure that you set up a user on the array, set the acl's for that user, and set the public ssh key for that user.
