StoragePoint 6.4 - PowerShell and API Reference Guide

PowerShell Script Examples

The following are examples of PowerShell scripts that utilize various StoragePoint cmdlets. These scripts should serve as templates for many common scenarios and can be customized as needed.

Creating a Site Collection Profile with No Encryption or Compression

This example creates a basic profile for a site collection. It uses the included FileSystem adapter and does not enable compression and encryption support. It creates a new endpoint which is then added to the profile.  

 $siteid = Get-SiteCollectionId –s "http://sharepoint/site"

Add-Endpoint –epn "NAS Endpoint 1" –adn "FileSystem" –conn "path=\\NAS\FILESTORE"        

Add-Profile –pn "Site Collection 1 Profile" –ptype SiteCollection –sid $siteid –eid "NAS Endpoint 1"

Creating a Content Database Profile with Encryption and Compression

This example creates a basic profile with a content database scope. Also note that the endpoint is set to enable compression and encryption.

$cid = Get-ContentDbId –s "http://sharepoint/site"

Add-Endpoint –epn "NAS Endpoint 1" –adn "FileSystem" –conn "path=\\NAS\FILESTORE" –UseCompression –UseEncryption –EncryptionPassphrase "anypassword"

Add-Profile –pn "Content Database Profile" –ptype ContentDb –sid $cid –eid "NAS Endpoint 1"

Creating a Content Database Profile Using RBS

This example creates a basic content database profile using the RBS interface. RBS requires SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition and the profile creation will error out if trying to activate an RBS profile on any previous edition of SQL Server.

$cid = Get-ContentDbId –s "http://sharepoint/site"

Add-Endpoint –epn "NAS Endpoint 1" –adn "FileSystem" –conn "path=\\NAS\FILESTORE" –UseCompression –UseEncryption –EncryptionPassphrase "anypassword"

Add-Profile –pn "Content Db Profile" –ptype ContentDb –sid $cid –UseRBS –eid "NAS Endpoint 1"
