SnapCenter Powershell Help

[NEPLUSULTRA]

Hello

1. In snapdrive i can use the command "sdcli snap create" and "sdcli snapshot rename" is there a similar options with snapcenter?

2. Snapcenter - is this powershell only?

3. If i want to run snapcenter powershell do i always have to open a connection to the snapcenter server?

Get-module SnapDrive should give you the list of  PS cmds you can use. Run it on the host where you have installed SCW plugin service.

SnapCenter supports three interface - UI, PowerShell and REST APIs. For PS cmdlet, you need to connect to SC server via open-smconnection cmdlet.

Don't suppose you know if using new-sdsnapshot to take a manual snapshot - does this snapshot appear in snapcenter?

[mrahul · Accepted solution]

No, Resources protected by SnapCenter and backups taken by it will only be available for management in GUI.

SnapCenter backups should be taken via SnapCenter PS cmdlets. Ex: New-smBackup.

Thanks, seems we have to make a lot of adjustment from snapdrive/sme/smsql

From what i see so far, PS is what snapcenter use....

Look for the following PS command

New-SmBackup, New-SdSnapshot

New-SmMountBackup, New-SmUnmountBackup

mount-SdSnapshot, Dismount-SdSnapshot

Look for SnapCenter 4.4 ,Cmdlet Reference Guide For Windows
