Install import kit certificate
Installs certificate in the host. Certificate installation in the host is required for the import kit CLI to run.
Format
Install-ImportKit-Certificate
Example
> Install-ImportKit-Certificate
ResultString
------------
Certificate installation was done successfully.
Re-generate the import kit certificate
During installation, the host plugin generates a self-signed HTTPS certificate and uses it for secure communication. In specific
instances, such as host IP address, name, or port changes, or when the certificate expires, the certificate needs to be
re-generated using the Invoke-ImportKit-CertificateRegeneration command.
NOTE:
Do not run this command when an import session is in progress. This command restarts the ImportKit host plugin
service. To do a subsequent import operation, you must delete the associated host on the Hosts & Host Groups page
under Compute in PowerStore Manager, and then add the host again.
Format
Invoke-ImportKit-CertificateRegeneration
Example
> Invoke-ImportKit-CertificateRegeneration
ResultString
------------
Certificate Regeneration done successfully.
Set Web server port information
Changes the IP address or port number, or both.
NOTE:
Do not run this command when an import session is in progress. This command restarts the ImportKit host plugin
service.
Format
