IBM Storage Automation Plug-in for PowerShell

The IBM® Storage Automation Plug-in for PowerShell offers lightweight commands in the Microsoft PowerShell environment (cmdlets) for provisioning and management of the IBM storage systems.

The plug-in package can be downloaded from Microsoft PowerShell Gallery(https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SpectrumConnect-Client) and can then be deployed on a PowerShell host. It can also be used together with PowerCLI, Windows PowerShell interface for automating storage-related tasks in VMware vSphere environment.

After the plug-in is installed, storage-related cmdlets can be used in the PowerShell environment. The PowerShell runtime invokes these cmdlets for automated end-to-end storage provisioning.

To visualize how PowerShell interface is integrated in a virtualized environment, see Concept diagram for PowerShell environment.
