Delegating storage services to the PowerShell interface

Before you can use the IBM Storage Automation Plug-in for PowerShell, you must delegate the storage services that you want to make them available for PowerShell scripts.

To delegate storage services to the PowerShell:

1. On the Interfaces pane, click the PowerShell interface to select it.
2. On the Spaces/Storage Services pane, select the storage space from which you want to choose storage services. The available services that reside on the selected storage space are immediately displayed.
3. Right-click on a service that you want to delegate to the PowerShell interface, and then select Delegate to <PowerShell_interface_name>, or click the Attach/Delegate button on the service. The service color changes to indicate the successful delegation.

   You can continue the process by right-clicking available services under the current space.

   

   The PowerShell interface provides indication for the allocated and used storage space.

   • Allocated – amount of storage space available on all pools connected to the delegated services.
   • Used – amount of storage space used by PowerShell scripts on all pools connected to the delegated services.
