SYNTAX

All (Default)

Get-Initiator [-Unisphere] <UnisphereServer> [-ArrayId] <String> [-DirectorId <String>] [-PortId <String>]
 [-Identify] [<CommonParameters>]

ById

Get-Initiator [-Unisphere] <UnisphereServer> [-ArrayId] <String> -Id <String[]> [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Gets details of the initiators on a PowerMax array.

Getting details of all initiators in an array is a time consuming operation and can impact the performance of the Unisphere server. Use the -Identify option to list only initiator IDs.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Get-Initiator -Unisphere $unisphere -ArrayId 000123456789 -Identify

Where $unisphere is a Unisphere server instance. Returns a list of all initiator IDs in the PowerMax array 000123456789.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-Initiator -Unisphere $unisphere -ArrayId 000123456789 -Id 0102030405060708,iqn.2020-01.com.example:linux-1

Where $unisphere is a Unisphere server instance. Returns details of initiators with IDs 0102030405060708 and iqn.2020-01.com.example:linux-1.

Example 3

PS C:\> Get-Initiator -Unisphere $unisphere -ArrayId 000123456789 -DirectorId FA-1D

Where $unisphere is a Unisphere server instance. Returns details of initiators known to director FA-ID. Further refinement can be made by using the -PortId parameter.
