Even more updates! Version 0.7.0 of the XtremIO.Utils PowerShell module is now available. This release brings some great new features, like superior handling of credentials (via new Connect-XIOServer and Disconnect-XIOServer cmdlets), the rest of the New-XIO* cmdlets for creating items in the XtremIO configuration, and new performance-related cmdlets for focusing in on XtremIO performance reporting from several different aspects.As is now standard, the release notes and change log are where you can read about the new features available in each updated release. We have also made a new general information page for this PowerShell module (like how to get it, how to install it, credentials handling). One can find this info page in the Sticky Posts section at the right, too. Or, if you just want at the module immediately, you can download it from https://github.com/mtboren/XtremIO.Utils/releases/download/Latest/XtremIO.Utils.zip.
Once you have read those items, let us get to some examples!
Connect to a couple of XMS servers:
PS vN:\> Connect-XIOServer -Credential $credMe -ComputerName somexms01.dom.com,somexms02.dom.com -TrustAllCert ComputerName ConnectDatetime Port ------------ --------------- ---- somexms01.dom.com 11/30/2014 1:54:02 PM 443 somexms02.dom.com 11/30/2014 1:54:02 PM 443Note: this allows for the rest of the subsequent XIO cmdlet calls to be used without presenting credentials again to the cmdlet -- the cmdlets will use the given XIO connection(s) and corresponding connection credentials! Yes, that also means that you need not supply the XMS name each subsequent call: the default, connected XMS servers will be used, unless otherwise specified by the user.
Get the cluster performance information for all XIO clusters managed by the XMS servers:
PS vN:\> Get-XIOClusterPerformance Name WriteBW_MBps WriteIOPS ReadBW_MBps ReadIOPS BW_MBps IOPS TotWriteIOs TotReadIOs ---- ------------ --------- ----------- -------- ------- ---- ----------- ---------- somexms01 6.057 771 41.768 531 47.824 1302 4664182545 3886061537 somexms02 67.480 2783 238.808 5286 306.288 8069 31163303937 81948491968Create a new initiator in initiator group "myserver0" on array managed by "somexms02":

Now to keep the creativity flowing: on to the next update, in which better pipeline support is one of the targets. Until then, enjoy!
