$env:PSModulePath

Import-Module IsilonPlatform

# connect Isilon using FQDN
New-isiSession -ComputerName isilonc1.emc.lab -Username root -Password a

# connect Isilon using IP address and configure a Cluster name
New-isiSession -ComputerName 192.168.10.100 -Username root -Password a -Cluster isilonc2

# Get all SMB shares for default cluster
Get-isiSmbShares

# Get all SMB shares for cluster isilonc2.emc.lab
Get-isiSmbShares -Cluster isilonc2

# Get all SMB shares for all connected cluster
Get-isiSession | Get-isiSmbShares

# create new SMB share
New-isiSmbShare -name HR -path '/ifs/data/HR'

# add a describtion to all SMB shares that have 'test' in there share name
Get-isiSmbShares | where name -like '*test*' | Set-isiSmbShare -description 'This is a Test Share'

# print help for function New-isiSmbShares
Get-Help -Detailed New-isiSmbShares

If you are using self signed certificates on your Isilon you need to disable SSL validation in powershell. This could be accomplished by code from Matthew Graeber. (http://poshcode.org/3606) The code could also be found in this repository.

Import-Module SSLValidation
