1.1.0.2 Release of the Pure Storage VMware PowerShell Module

I have released a new version of the VMware/Pure PowerShell module which can be automatically installed from the PowerShell Gallery.

Pure Storage PowerShell VMware Module

Updates in this release are focused on VVols. Creating VVol snapshots, copying them, creating new disks from them, retrieving them etc.

Version 1.1.0.2

I wrote a blog post below on using some of the new cmdlets:

PowerCLI and VVols Part V: Array Snapshots and VVols

The new cmdlets are:

• new-faSnapshotOfVvolVmdk : This takes in a VVol virtual disk and creates a new FlashArray snapshot of it
• copy-faVvolVmdkToExistingVvolVmdk: This takes a VVol virtual disk and refreshes a target VVol virtual disk with its contents
• copy-faSnapshotToNewVvolVmdk: This takes a FlashArray snapshot and creates a new VVol virtual disk from it
• copy-faSnapshotToExistingVvolVmdk This takes a FlashArray snapshot and refreshes an existing VVol virtual disk from its contents
• copy-faVvolVmdkToNewVvolVmdk: This takes a VVol virtual disk and creates a new VVol virtual disk from it
• get-faSnapshotsFromVvolHardDisk: This returns all of the FlashArray snapshots of a VVol virtual disk
• get-vvolUuidFromHardDisk: This returns the VVol UUID of an input VVol virtual disk
• update-faVvolVmVolumeGroup: This takes a VVol VM and goes to the array and creates a volume group if it doesnt exist and adds the volumes to it, or simply updates the name of the volume group if the VM has since creation been renamed.
