Powershell - Find VM raw disk path to netapp lun


Purpose:
I needed a way get raw disk mappings from a vmware vm to the lun it is using on a netapp filer. One thing that needs to be edited is the SearchFilers function. Just add your runtime names and what filers they correspond to.Run this from powercli. and this requires the dataontap module which you can get from your now.netapp.com site Note: this script could be improved by gather all lun information from each filer instead of what i did the in the search filer function

              
param([string]$VC)
Import-Module DataONTAP

bit for bit copy of usb flash drive free utiltiy


Found this free utility to create a bit by bit copy of a flash drive
http://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html

ImageUSB is a free utility which lets you write an image concurrently to multiple USB Flash Drives. Capable of creating exact bit-level copies of USB Flash Drive (UFDs), ImageUSB is an extremely effective tool for the mass duplication of UFDs. ImageUSB also supports writing of an ISO file byte by byte directly to an USB drive, useful in conversion of bootable CD/DVD iso to a bootable USB drive. ImageUSB can also be used to install OSFClone to a USB Drive for use with PassMark OSForensics™.
