This is now fairly old and out of date (they thankfully moved to REST) so this likely wont work for you and even if it does, you probably shouldnt use it.

A VDI type example would be something like this. It assume you have a CloneTest volume, it snaps it and creates a clone from it and then provides the same security access. From this point you could mount the volume as a datastore in the vm environment.
Get-NSVolume
Get-NSSnapShot -Volume clonetest
Get-NSVolume -Name clonetest| New-NSSnapshot -Name CloneTest2 | New-NSClone -Name CloneTest2
Get-NSSnapShot -Volume clonetest
Get-NSVolume
Get-NSVolume clonetest2 | Get-NSVolumeACL
Get-NSInitiatorGroup
Add-NSInitiatorGroupToVolume -InitiatorGroup esx -Volume clonetest2 -Access Volume
Get-NSVolume clonetest2 | Get-NSVolumeACL
Get-NSVolume clonetest2 | Get-NSVolumeACL | Get-NSInitiatorGroup
Remove the clone and snapshot Remove-NSVolume clonetest2 -Force Get-NSVolume clonetest | Get-NSSnapShot | Remove-NSSnapShot
Please let me know if any features are needed.
Thanks Justin
