Dell Storage API PowerShell. Is this a bug?
We have a SC9000, when this was deployed by Dell guys, they used the default name, in this case "Storage Center XXXXX". Then we decided change the name by other name more acording to our names schema and using the DSM console we changed to SC01-R2.
Now, when we use Powershell's cmdlet we have inconsistencies with output of commands in ScName property.
When we use Get-DellStorageCenter the ScName has the new name but the other cmdlet like Get-DellScVolume has the old value.
No Events found!

Hi,
What version of the Dell Storage API for powershell are you using? Powershell assumes hyphens are operators or parameters and having them in names can cause issues.

Hi josh,
Thanks for answering. We have 3.3.1.58 version. I don't think that the problem were the hyphens because I'm not using the SC name in the command sintax to generate that type ambiguity. I'm using just a cmdlet (Get-DellScVolume) and this cmdlet has ScName property with String type (verified with Get-Member) I don't see how could a hyphens issue in user space.
I don't know from where de API take the data, I guess from DSM's DataBase and maybe when you change the SC name appear some kind of inconstence.

Hi,
The Dell support team could solve the issue. The problem was in the apimgr subsystem, this subsystem takes the datas from a view that is generated at compellent boot time, if you changed some parameter this view isn't updateded.
To workaround the issue whit out restart, the support guy restarted the subsystem only.
