new datastore set the prefered path?

[malabelle]

Hi,

I have a script to create new datastore. nut I can't find how to specify the prefered path (hba:x:x...)

any idea?

Add-PSSnapin "Vmware.VimAutomation.Core"

## ----Créer les  Variables----

#$vcenter = %1

## ----Connexion au VirtualCenter----

$Server = $Args[0]

$ClusterName = $Args[1]

Connect-VIserver $Server

$VMHost = Get-Cluster $ClusterName | Get-VMHost | Select -First 1

$VMHostRes = Get-Cluster $ClusterName | Get-VMHost

$Name = $Args[2]

$Path = $Args[3]

Get-VMHost $VMHost | New-Datastore -Server $Server -Name $Name -Path $Path -Vmfs -Confirm:$false

Get-VMHostStorage -VMHost $VMHostRes -Refresh

You don't set preferred path on a datastore, per se, you se it on the LUN or LUNs that make up that datastore.  You'll need to use set-scsilun to do that.

ok, so I would need to add something like that after the rescan

?

Get-SCSILUN -CanonicalName args1 -vmhost args2 | SetSCSILun -PreferredPath args3 confirm:$false

As long as you have those arguments handy, then yes, that's what you'll need to do.
