If the environment requires a custom recovery strategy, both Dell Technologies storage and VMware have robust API sets to customize the recovery steps where needed. APIs include PowerShell cmdlets, PowerStore REST API, and PSTCLI. The APIs can be used for tasks such as managing snapshots, creating thin clones, mapping volumes, and managing replications. Within the same script, the VMware cmdlets can rescan HBAs, manipulate vDisks, add virtual machines to inventory, and perform most other tasks required for recovery, as shown in Figure 9.
Note: For more information about REST API, use SwaggerUI (https://<PowerStore>/swaggerui) or see the Dell Technologies PowerStore REST API Developers Guide on the PowerStore Info Hub.
