DESCRIPTION

The Get-InitiatorId cmdlet gets the InitiatorID objects for the specified iSCSI initiators.





PARAMETERS

-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-HostType [<HostType[]>]

Specifies the host operating system or other host environmental factors that may influence the behavior that the storage system should have when

showing a virtual disk to an initiator. If the HostType property is blank for the object you want to get, omit this parameter.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InitiatorAddress [<String[]>]

Specifies the address of the InitiatorID object you want to get. These are the port addresses of the hosts to which the virtual disks will be made

available.



Required? false

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MaskingSet [<CimInstance>]

Gets the InitiatorID objects associated with the specified MaskingSet object. Enter a MaskingSet CIM object, which is exposed by the Get-MaskingSet

cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-StorageSubSystem [<CimInstance>]

Gets the InitiatorID objects associated with the specified StorageSubsystem object. Enter a StorageSubsystem CIM object, which is exposed by the

Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is

entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-UniqueId [<String[]>]

Specifies the UniqueID(s) of the InitiatorID(s) you want to get. Separate multiple UniqueIDs with commas, and enclose brackets in quotation marks.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-VirtualDisk [<CimInstance>]

Gets the InitiatorID objects associated with the specified VirtualDisk object. Enter a VirtualDisk CIM object, which is exposed by the

Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_MaskingSet

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30509.aspx





You can pipe a MaskingSet object to the MaskingSet parameter.



Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_StorageSubsystem

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30569.aspx





You can pipe a StorageSubsystem object to the StorageSubsystem parameter.



Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30584.aspx





You can pipe a VirtualDisk object to the VirtualDisk parameter.





OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_InitiatorId

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30504.aspx





This cmdlet returns an object that represents an initiator ID.





Example 1: Get all InitiatorIDs



PS C:\\>Get-InitiatorID



This example gets and displays all iSCSI initiator IDs on the computer.





Example 2: Get the storage providers for each InitiatorID



PS C:\\>Get-InitiatorId | Get-StorageSubSystem | Get-StorageProvider



This example gets and displays the storage providers for each InitiatorID by piping the output from the Get-InitiatorId cmdlet to the

Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet, and then piping that cmdlet????????s output to the Get-StorageProvider cmdlet.





Example 3:Get the InitatorID objects for a masking set



PS C:\\>Get-InitiatorId -MaskingSet (Get-MaskingSet -FriendlyName *EQLV1)



This example uses the Get-MaskingSet cmdlet to get the masking set with a friendly name that ends with EQLV1, and then gets all associated InitiatorID

objects.
