[webguyz]

is there a powershell command to get all connected ISCSI initiators?

Thx.

Get-IscsiConnection

Hmm. Don't see that command in the Starwindx\Samples\powershell folder. Where might I find it?

I might be misunderstanding your aim. This command is a part of the standard PowerShell inventory, not related to StarWind exclusively.
Tell me what you are trying to achieve for me to give you a more appropriate solution.

I have a 2 node Starwind Free setup with separate compute and storage with HA being used with VMware. I want to find out the VMware inititators connected to a particular target given a iqn number like
iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware.SAN1

Thanks!

I could suggest going a bit different way.

Code: Select all

Connect-VIServer 10.10.10.10
$esxcli = Get-EsxCli
$esxcli.iscsi.session.connection.list.Invoke() | select Adapter,Target,State | Where {$_.Target -eq "your_target_name"}

When used with the vCenter, it should show whether that particular target is connected to the host.

Was hoping to replicate the ISCSI info as in the attached from the Console Gui.

IStarWindServer has a function GetInitiators(string TargetId) witch return a collection of strings like the GUI.

usage: $server.GetInitiators("0x...")

then you just have to iterate over the return

Sekkmer,

Thanks for mentioning it. You are completely right. The example code will be like below:

Code: Select all

Import-Module StarWindX

$iqn = "your_StarWind_target_IQN"
$server = New-SWServer -host 127.0.0.1 -port 3261 -user root -password starwind
$server.Connect()
$target = $server.Targets | Where {$_.Name -eq $iqn} | Select-object -ExpandProperty ID
$server.GetInitiators($target) | Where {$_.Name -like "*vmware*"}

It will output the names of initiators connected to the particular target. I hope this is what you were going to achieve.

[webguyz]

Perfect. Thanks all.

You are welcome.
