Hi all.

Is it possible to configure CHAP on VSAN free with powershell?

Hi,

That cannot be done without GUI.

Thanks for the reply but https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... e-vs-paid/ describes the free version as "Free version comes with an unrestricted set of features". CHAP is pretty basic and often fundamental to an infrastructure - ESPECIALLY in a non-prod environment where everyone is poking it with a stick.

Is there a definitive list of functionality that's only available to fully licensed "GUI" installs?

For testing, the trial 30-day license might work great. If you want to start trialing, please log a new call here https://www.starwindsoftware.com/support-form using this thread as a reference.
However, it is not possible to switch from the trial license back to free one.

I will request the appropriate change to the PowerShell toolkit.

That would be great if you could update the powershell toolkit.

We have already been talking with Oleksandr about purchasing licenses for our prod environment but for one reason or another, it ended up on a back burner. I emailed him a few days ago - perhaps I'll give him a chase...

Thanks again!

I also wish to configure chap on the free version. Did this functionality ever get added to starwindx powershell?
