Unable to connect to a VNX with ESIPSToolKit and Powershell

I am new to the VNX system and the EMC community. I need a script that queries the File and Block for capacity usage and future planning. I installed the PowerShell module for the EMC Storage Integrator for Windows suite – “ESIPSToolKit" version 5.2.0.9.

It’s obvious that I will need to connect to the VNX with the Connect-EmcSystem command and according to online documentation “ESIPSToolKit Day” at https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-14385 , I need  a creation BLOB. The command should be”Get-EmcStorageSystemCredential | Connect-EmcSystem”, but the EmcStorageSystemCredential command is not an available command it seems for version 5.2.0.9. When I run the command Get-Help Connect-EmcSystem the output suggests that the required connection information I put into a variable that can then be called up with a pipe command as such –


C:\PS>$p = @{"Username"="admin"; "Password"="pswd";"SpaIpAddress"="10.1.1.1"; "SpbIpAddress"= "10.1.1.2";     "Port"="443";"UserFriendlyName"="MyVNX-Block"}

C:\PS>Connect-EmcSystem -SystemType VNX-Block -CreationParameters $p

It isn’t working for me and I’m sure it is something simple that I’m missing. I get an error stating the password is null or empty. I hoping that someone has experience with the newer version of the ESIPSToolKit and let me know what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Ran into the same issue connecting to a Unity.  "failed with exit code 1"   (Error code 0x1000002)

This article talk about a way to supply credentials via prompt though the command it refers to does not exist :(

Ever get any farther?
