connect-swis and VMAN

Yes, you can talk to VMan from PowerShell. Like this:

$vman = connect-swis -Soap12 https://vmanhost/swvm/services/InformationService -UserName guest -Password guest -IgnoreSslErrors

Added this information to PowerShell · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

Thanks for adding to documentation.

This is what i was trying earlier, but i must have been just been trying to hit at the wrong time(appliance busy maybe?).  Seems to work fine now.

What i was seeing earlier. *id/password and hostname removed to protect the innocent.

$swis = Connect-Swis -username id -password password -IgnoreSslErrors -Soap12 https://vmanserver/swvm/services/InformationService

Get-SwisData -Query "Select name from VMAN.LUN" -SwisConnection $swis

Get-SwisData : An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to

https://vmanserver/swvm/services/InformationService. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the

HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the

service shutting down). See server logs for more details.
