Powershell error "Path for HPE 3PAR cli was not found"

[Chang Che-Lun]

I try to use powershell tool kit

and when I use New-CLIConnection command to connect to my 3par,

it show me a error message

Failure : Path for HPE 3PAR cli was not found. Make sure you have cli.exe file under C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett Packard Enterprise\HPE 3PAR CLI\bin

What is 3PAR cli ?

And where I can find it

Thanks

Hi Chang Che-Lun

What is 3PAR cli ?
HPE 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) commands used to administer and maintain the HPE StoreServ storage system
here's the link for HPE 3PAR Command Line Interface reference guide: https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/c04204279

Also, I would like to share the PowerShell Toolkit for HPE Primera and HPE 3PAR 3.0 User Guide
here's the link: https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00085686en_us

The PowerShell Toolkit for HPE Primera and HPE 3PAR supports cmdlets, which are wrappers around the native HPE
Primera and HPE 3PAR storage CLI commands and HPE 3PAR storage Web Services API (WSAPI)

Hope this helps.!!

Mahesh.

Hi Mahesh

I know how to use 3par cli in 3par or primera,

but my purpose is use the powershell to automatic my job,

so I want to use the powershell tool kit,

this is my first time use HPE 3PAR powershell tool kit

I can't use the 3par cli in powershell,

I want to use the command style of powershell,

just like get-vv not 3par style just like showvv

How can I finish this task by using powershell tool kit?

Thanks

Hi Chang Che-Lun

I request you to refer to The PowerShell Toolkit for HPE Primera and HPE 3PAR 3.0 User Guide which was already shared in the previous post.

• Please go through the Prerequisites for installing the PowerShell Toolkit, starting from page #29
• Install the HPE 3PAR PowerShell Toolkit
• Connect to your 3PAR or Primera Array on Page #31
• Explore Available Cmdlets according to your needs.

Hope this helps.!!

Mahesh.

Hi,

What version of Powershell Tool kit are you using? It seems like it's trying to connect to an older version of CLI directory/bin.
CLI version 3.2.2 resides by default under C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP 3PAR CLI

Either download the latest 3PAR & Primera Powershell Toolkit, or re-install CLI client and modify the Installation Location to the one requested by your current Powershell Toolkit C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett Packard Enterprise\HPE 3PAR CLI\bin

Hope this helps

I just have Powershell tool kit,

I don't have cli

[Dardan · Accepted solution]

You need to have CLI software installed to be able to use CLI module of Powershell ToolKit.
Or you can use WSAPI module of Powershell Toolkit which is included in the installer.
New-WSAPIConnection
