In the Everpure PowerShell SDK 1.6.6.0, we introduced a cmdlet,
New-PfaCliCommand, that provides the ability to pass CLI commands to the FlashArray or FlashBlade for situations when the REST API has updated in a new version of Purity, but any new REST endpoints are not supported in the PowerShell SDK yet.
New-PfaCLICommand -EndPoint 10.21.201.57 -Credentials $Creds -CommandText "purevol list"When using this cmdlet, be sure that your firewall rules allow for SSH Port 22 traffic. Otherwise, the cmdlet will fail with the error below.
New-PfaCLICommand : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of
time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

You may see in the error message the CommandText is a “?”. If that is used, it will show the results as what you would see using the CLI and executing
purehelp.
