Verifies the connectivity of a host system or replication system to a block storage system. This cmdlet only works with block storage systems of VNX, Clariion, and Symmetrix arrays. The cmdlet does not work with VNXe storage systems.
Syntax
Test-EmcSystemConnectedToBlockStorageSystem [-BlockStorageSystem] <IBlockStorageSystem> -HostSystem <IHostSystem> [-Silent] [<CommonParameters>]
Test-EmcSystemConnectedToBlockStorageSystem [-BlockStorageSystem] <IBlockStorageSystem> [-Silent] -ReplicationSystem <ReplicationSystem> [-Refresh] [<CommonParameters>]
Parameters
-BlockStorageSystem <IBlockStorageSystem>
Attributes: Required, Position: 1
Specifies the ESI block storage system object, which you can add to ESI by using the Get-EmcStorageSystemCredential and Connect-EmcSystem cmdlets. You can get a storage system object by using the Get-EmcStorageSystem cmdlet.
-HostSystem <IHostSystem>
Attributes: Required, Position: named
Specifies the ESI host system object. You can add a host system object to ESI by using the Get-EmcHostSystemCredential and Connect-EmcSystem cmdlets. You can get a host system object by using the Get-EmcHostSystem cmdlet. The object can be a stand-alone host system, a virtual machine, or a hypervisor.
-Silent <SwitchParameter>
Attributes: Optional, Position: named
Turns off all the informational and verbose messages. However, it still displays errors.
-ReplicationSystem <ReplicationSystem>
Attributes: Required, Position: named
Specifies the ESI replication system object, which you can get by using the Get-EmcReplicationSystem cmdlet.
-Refresh <SwitchParameter>
Attributes: Optional, Position: named
Specifies whether to refresh the system after connecting to it.
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports these common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, and OutVariable. Type get-help about_commonparameters for more details.
