SCV3020 Remote shutdown with powershell

Question

Hi all, I have to shutdown my SCV3020 but I have a little doubt about the command Stop-DellStorageCenter Do I have to send '-Instance' in my command? If yes, how I get the instance ? I found InstanceId or InstanceName but Instance. If no, that command do the job ? Stop-DellStorageCenter -Connection $Connection   Best Regards

Hi @JulienBla,

I don't think you need to input -Instance. These 2 commands should be able to do it's job:

Stop-DellScController - shuts down a single controller

Stop-DellStorageCenter - shuts down an entire system

I don't have a SC to test the scripting, but if you need help on the commands, you can:

get-help Stop-DellScController -detailed

get-help Stop-DellStorageCenter -detailed

Hello @JulienBla,

Normally we cannot offer much help on scripting or even test the script before to make sure it will not harm your system. So please, use it carefully.

However, the syntax should be:
Stop-DellScController -Instance

This supposedly Shuts down the controller

Hello @DiegoLopez

Thx for reply but I don't want to stop the controller but the entire Compellent.

Is instance is the Compellent's model ?

$(Get-DellStorageCenter -Connection $Connection).InstanceId
269140
$(Get-DellStorageCenter -Connection $Connection).InstanceName
Storage Center 269140

Best Regards

Compellent
