DESCRIPTION
The Get-InitiatorPort cmdlet gets and displays host bus adapter (HBA) initiator ports, such as SAS, FibreChannel,
and iSCSI ports. Typically used either for connection to an iSCSI target in the case of iSCSI, or for in the
management of masking sets in the case of FibreChannel.
PARAMETERS
-CimSession []
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such
as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local
computer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ConnectionType []
Specifies the type of the connection. Acceptable values are: Other, FibreChannel, iSCSI, and SAS.
To specify a custom connection type, specify the Other value and specify a non-NULL value for the
OtherConnectionTypeDescription property.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InstanceName []
Specifies the instance name of the initiator.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NodeAddress []
Specifies the node address for the initiator.
Required? false
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ObjectId []
Specifies the ObjectID of the initiator.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ThrottleLimit []
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this
parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShellr calculates an optimum throttle limit
for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies
only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-VirtualDisk []
Specifies the VirtualDisk object for which you want to get the initiator port. Enter a VirtualDisk CIM object,
which is exposed by the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-iSCSIConnection []
Specifies the iSCSIConnection object for which you want to get the initiator port. Enter an iSCSIConnection
CIM object, which is exposed by the Get-IscsiConnection cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-iSCSISession []
Specifies the iSCSISession object for which you want to get the initiator port. Enter an iSCSISession CIM
object, which is exposed by the Get-IscsiSession cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-iSCSITarget []
Specifies the iSCSITarget object for which you want to get the initiator port. Enter an iSCSITarget CIM
object, which is exposed by the Get-IscsiTarget cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false

OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_InitiatorPort
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/hh830507.aspx
This cmdlet returns an object that represents the initiator port you specified.
Example 1: Get all initiator ports
PS C:\>Get-InitiatorPort
InstanceName NodeAddress PortAddress ConnectionType
------------ ----------- ----------- --------------
ROOT\ISCSIPRT\0000_0 iqn.1991-05.com.contoso:... ISCSI ANY PORT iSCSI
This example gets all available initiator ports.
Example 2: Get all initiator ports, and filter the display
PS C:\>Get-InitiatorPort | Select-Object -Property NodeAddress,ConnectionType | Format-Table -AutoSize
NodeAddress ConnectionType
----------- --------------
iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:johnj99-pc2.contoso.com iSCSI
This example gets all available initiator ports. selects only the NodeAddress and ConnectionType properties, and
then displays this information.
