Hoping someone can help point out where I’m going wrong . I’m trying to do the initial set up of the powershell cmdlets so :-

 

Cmd device created with the authentication requirements as set out in the manual, with authentication enable

 

 

This is seen by the management server – I’ve initialised it to use the UID

 

raidscan -x findcmddev hdisk0,20

cmddev of Ser# 320756 = \\.\PhysicalDrive4

cmddev of Ser# 320756 = \\.\PhysicalDrive5

cmddev of Ser# 320756 = \\.\PhysicalDrive6

cmddev of Ser# 320756 = \\.\PhysicalDrive7

cmddev of Ser# 320756 = \\.\PhysicalDrive9

cmddev of Ser# 320756 = \\.\Volume{4f0c17f0-c38c-11eb-80d2-509a4c9e69a0}

 

and horcm99 set up to use this

 

HORCM_MON

#ip_address       service        poll(10ms)    timeout(10ms)

**.**.0.132       11099            1000             3000

 

HORCM_CMD

#dev_name              dev_name               dev_name

#UnitID 0 (LDEV# 99:0D Serial# 320756)

\\.\Volume{4f0c17f0-c38c-11eb-80d2-509a4c9e69a0}

 

 

This HORCM99 starts OK

 

So the adapter was installed as per the manual

Created a userid on the G1500 in the admin group for this purpose and checked it by logging on to storage navigator with it .

Opened a command prompt in admin mode , navigated to the install folder and started powershell

 

Tried adding the storage

 

add-storagedevice -s 320756 -u UUUUUU -p PPPPPP -HID 99 -IP ***.***.0.133

 

but got

 

add-storagedevice : E100A11A   Failed to connect with the storage device. Confirm the storage device status and the LAN environment, and then try again. A command device could not be found for the device.

At line:1 char:1

+ add-storagedevice -s 320756 -u UUUUUU -p PPPPPP -HID 99 -IP ***.***.0.133

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   + CategoryInfo         : InvalidOperation: (Hitachi.Storage...ddStorageDevice:AddStorageDevice) [Add-StorageDevice], Exception

device.,Hitachi.Storage.Manageme   nt.Powershell2.Admin.AddStorageDevice

 

The storage is on the same subnet as the server so no firewalls and I can ping it from the server

 

Any ideas?

rookie error :-) the cmdlet takes the sort form of the serial so 20756
