WFA for EMC ISILON

SHYAMVOLVO — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:14:24 GMT

Hi WFA Team,

In our environment we have EMC ISILON along with NetApp .

we would like to manage EMC ISILON through WFA. just like we do it for NetApp.

Is there any workflow to manage ( mostly provisioning ) a ISILON system.

or there a way I can acive it ?

Thanks

Shyam

Shyam,

WFA only contains Netapp certified workflows and commands for Netapp products. With that said, there is nothing keeping you from building out your own commands to automate Isilon. Isilon uses restful API calls, and I believe EMC was working on an un-official powershell module for Isilon. So you can pick your poison and start hacking away at some automation. 🙂

@coreywanless @SHYAMVOLVO

I had written a post on how to do this. See here.

I couldn't post any example as I don't have any EMC system with him.
