Powershell for a standalone LUN on VSAN

Is there a Powershell template for creating a standalone LUN for VSAN? I had replied in a thread about creating an HA LUN, but it appears a different command will be needed for standalone.

Should it show up on the LUNs page of the web gui after it is successful?

Dear sir,
I used the script "CreateImageFile" to create a LUN on a vsan.
My account namcv/Bcd1234! was able to log in to the web as Administrator
But when running the script, it reported a login error
Please see the attached image

Hi,

Try root/starwind (those are internal service credentials).

No worries, I know it can be confusing; optimizing credentials is on the roadmap.

One more question, do I need to configure cache?
$cacheMode="none",
$cacheSize=0)
Currently my SW server has 32GB Ram

For a standalone LUN, please, no cache.
For a replicated LUN, it depends on the underlying storage.
