Create multiple elastic SAN volumes in a batch

The PowerShell script in this article simplifies creating multiple Azure Elastic SAN volumes as a batch. To use the script, make a .csv file with pre-filled values to create as many volumes of varying sizes as you want.

Format your .csv file with five columns: ResourceGroupName, ElasticSanName, VolumeGroupName, Name, and SizeGiB. The following screenshot provides an example:

Then, use the following script to create your volumes.

$filePath = "D:\ElasticSan\TestCsv3.csv" 
$BatchCreationList = Import-Csv -Path $filePath 

foreach($creationParam in $BatchCreationList) {
    # -AsJob can be added to make the operations parallel 
	  # -ErrorAction can be added to change the behavior of the for loop when an error occurs	 
    New-AzElasticSanVolume -ElasticSanName $creationParam.ElasticSanName -GroupName $creationParam.VolumeGroupName -Name $creationParam.Name -ResourceGroupName $creationParam.ResourceGroupName -SizeGiB $creationParam.SizeGiB #-ErrorAction Continue #-AsJob 

}
