Hi, I am a new user to StarWind VSAN free. I am attempting to configure an iSCSI drive to be presented to an ESXi host.

Is there a PowerShell command that I can run that displays deduplication statistics for the drive being presented?

I would also appreciate it if there was a list of all drive creation PowerShell options.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi, you can use StarWindX samples from the folder "C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell" and modify them according to your needs.

How do I know what commands will return data for deduplication if you don't have documentation for your StarwindX commands?

Your team gives engineering answers, but forgets that we didn't develop the software with you. Your responses would be quite clear to everyone there, but not so clear to the public.
It took me two days to research how to create a non HA volume, only to find out on the message board that you cant present physical disks.

We are continuously working under StarWind documentation improvement.
A more detailed explanation of StarWindX library commands will be added to StarWind Help soon.

Thank you. I trialed your product many years ago and it was great. I can't wait to try it again once I know how to use it without the GUI.
