QConvergeConsole PowerKit
The QConvergeConsole PowerKit lets you manage QLogic FastLinQ
3400/8400/41000/45000 Series Adapters on the system using QLogic cmdlets in
the Windows PowerShell
®
application. Windows PowerShell is a
Microsoft-developed scriptable language for performing task automation and
configuration management both locally and remotely. Windows PowerShell is
based on the .NET framework and includes a command-line shell and a
GUI-integrated scripting environment (ISE) that allows you to create scripts
without having to type all the commands in the command line. This feature allows
you to streamline and automate repetitive and monotonous Windows and Linux
server jobs through scripts by linking multiple instructions together. In addition to
being a powerful scripting tool, the QLogic PowerKit comes with a selection of
preconfigured
cmdlets
(scripts that perform a single function) to monitor and
manage your QLogic FastLinQ adapters. For information about installing and
using the QConvergeConsole PowerKit, refer to the
User's Guide—PowerShell.
