PURE STORAGE POWERSHELL SDK 1.17 RELEASE NOTES
The Pure Storage PowerShell SDK provides integration with the Purity Operating Environment and FlashArray. It provides functionalities of Purity's REST API as PowerShell cmdlets.
There are currently two releases of the SDK, version 1 for Purity REST API version 1.0 to 1.17, and version 2, for Purity REST API version 2.0 and later.

// RELEASE COMPATIBILITY

  • This release requires PowerShell versions 3.0 to 5.1.
  • This release requires .NET Framework 4.5.
  • This release is compatible with FlashArrays that support Pure Storage REST API 1.0 to 1.17 inclusive. You can determine what API versions are supported on an array by using a web browser to go to this URL - https:///api/api_version.
  • This release requires a 64-bit Windows operating system that is compatible with the required PowerShell versions noted previously.

// INSTALLATION AND UNINSTALLATION

  • Full installation instructions are available from this link - https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/Microsoft_Platform_Guide/a_Windows_PowerShell/Pure_Storage_PowerShell_SDK

  • An Administrator privilege is required to install.

  • To install the PowerShell SDK, there are two options for the method of installation. The recommened method is to use the PowerShell Gallery by using the Install-Module cmdlet. You can also install via a Windows MSI installer, where you
    extract and run the PurePowerShellSDKInstaller.msi and follow the instructions.

  • To verify the installation, run "Get-Command -Module PureStoragePowerShellSDK" in a new PowerShell prompt and verify the release version.

  • If you used the PowerShell Gallery installation, you uninstall the SDK by using the Uninstall-Module cmdlet. For MSI installations, you can use the "Programs and Features" of the Control Panel.

// KNOWN ISSUES

  • Get-PfaProtectionGroupVolumeSnapshots does not work if the array is connected using REST API 1.4.
  • The following Cmdlets remove the "-CaCertificate" parameter. See the new "New-PfaKMIP" cmdlet.
    Import-PfaNamedCertificate
    New-PfaNamedCertificate
