I have a below script for disabling specific paths on ESXi servers in the cluster. What I want to do is the script to do is for some reason if it is unable to disable to path is to continue. -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue doesn't seems to be working. If I enter a non-existent path in the host specific input file, the scripts just stop at that junture and doesn't continue with the next host.
#requires -version 4

.SYNOPSIS
Disables Specific LUN paths fed in via Input files per ESXi host
.DESCRIPTION
Searches the vCenter Cluster for specific paths mentioned in per ESXi host input files and disables them.
.PARAMETER <Parameter_Name>
None
.INPUTS Server
Mandatory. The vCenter Server or ESXi Host the script will connect to, in the format of IP address or FQDN.
.INPUTS Paths to be disabled
Mandatory. The text input files prepared in advance per ESXi host in the cluster mentioning the runtime paths to disabled for desired LUNs.
.INPUTS Credentials
Mandatory. The user account credendials used to connect to the vCenter Server of ESXi Host.
.OUTPUTS Log File
The script log file stored in D:\script\Temp\Disable_Lun_Path.log
