Thanks! This was very helpful.
I am glad you find the PowerShell storage related scripts useful. Used them alot when I was managing storage arrays. I have not been on a storage array for about two years but let me check my scripts for updates. The last arrays I worked on were EMC VMAX3, PowerMAX and Isilon and used PowerShell to generate reports and gather stats.
