DESCRIPTION

The Get-InitiatorPort cmdlet gets and displays host bus adapter (HBA) initiator ports, such as SAS, FibreChannel, and iSCSI ports. Typically used either

for connection to an iSCSI target in the case of iSCSI, or for in the management of masking sets in the case of FibreChannel.





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



-ConnectionType [<ConnectionType[]>]

Specifies the type of the connection. Acceptable values are: Other, FibreChannel, iSCSI, and SAS.



To specify a custom connection type, specify the Other value and specify a non-NULL value for the OtherConnectionTypeDescription property.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InstanceName [<String[]>]

Specifies the instance name of the initiator.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-NodeAddress [<String[]>]

Specifies the node address for the initiator.



Required? false

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ObjectId [<String[]>]

Specifies the ObjectID of the initiator.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

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



-VirtualDisk [<CimInstance>]

Specifies the VirtualDisk object for which you want to get the initiator port. 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



-iSCSIConnection [<CimInstance>]

Specifies the iSCSIConnection object for which you want to get the initiator port. Enter an iSCSIConnection CIM object, which is exposed by the

Get-IscsiConnection cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-iSCSISession [<CimInstance>]

Specifies the iSCSISession object for which you want to get the initiator port. Enter an iSCSISession CIM object, which is exposed by the

Get-IscsiSession cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-iSCSITarget [<CimInstance>]

Specifies the iSCSITarget object for which you want to get the initiator port. Enter an iSCSITarget CIM object, which is exposed by the

Get-IscsiTarget cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 68122.aspx





You can pipe an iSCSIConnection object to the iSCSIConnection parameter.



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

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 68125.aspx





You can pipe an iSCSISession object to the iSCSISession parameter.



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

OUTPUTS

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

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30507.aspx





This cmdlet returns an object that represents the initiator port you specified.





Example 1: Get all initiator ports



PS C:\\>Get-InitiatorPort

InstanceName NodeAddress PortAddress ConnectionType

------------ ----------- ----------- --------------

ROOT\\ISCSIPRT\\0000_0 iqn.1991-05.com.contoso:... ISCSI ANY PORT iSCSI



This example gets all available initiator ports.





Example 2: Get all initiator ports, and filter the display



PS C:\\>Get-InitiatorPort | Select-Object -Property NodeAddress,ConnectionType | Format-Table -AutoSize

NodeAddress ConnectionType

----------- --------------

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:johnj99-pc2.contoso.com iSCSI



This example gets all available initiator ports. selects only the NodeAddress and ConnectionType properties, and then displays this information.
