Question about command-script

[kcl]

Good morning.
I have the question. Can i write and share command-script to manage StarWind using powershell? (I worried about free license)
It can help to use basic feature. (Add,remove target, image, acl)

By the way, when i update ACL, powershell has a crit error, but add and remove work correctly.

Feel free to do so.
As StarWind VSAN Free is community supported and StarWindX Powershell scripts are examples of how you can manage the setup, the community will definitely appreciate your input.

[kcl]

Thank you!
If smb need: https://sourceforge.net/projects/powerstar/

[Boris (staff)]

Fine, keep the community updated.

[kcl]

I Updated the script. Please write here wishes. I'll try to add them.
Many thanks to StarWind for Great product!

[Boris (staff)]

Great. Keep doing the great work.

Boris,

In requirements its says -Powershell xD

The only references I found for xD were XenDesk Powershell. Is that what is required?

Ran your script but got errors and was wondering if its because I'm missing something.

Newbie to PowerShell.

Thanks!

[Boris (staff)]

That was a smiley - xD. Nothing related to PowerShell. Interpretation is "It requires PowerShell, which is obvious as long as it is based on the StarWindX PowerShell module".

When I run the lastest script my PowerStar window comes up but in PS I get the error Below

I can connect to one of my 2 HA nodes and when I click the HAImagex it does show me the info and sync status, but when I click on the IQN it shows nothing and generates PS Errors:

Thanks! This is a very nice script and will be a valuable addition.

[Boris (staff)]

I believe you would need to contact the author of the script - kcl.

[webguyz]

I copied the script to the c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 folder and it worked without error.

Thanks!

[Boris (staff)]

Great to know this simple cheat. Thanks for posting.
