Is it possible to script ISCSI MCS connection setup?

Question

Hello - When I set up servers, I typically script as much of the setup as possible to make them as consistent as possible. I have powershell that I use to set up ISCSI MPIO that works for most scenarios that require multiple connections. I recently came across a situation where the ISCSI device is designed to use MCS rather than MPIO as the preferred redundancy solution. I have tried to work through the existing powershell, but I'm not seeing an obvious way to add the connections to the session. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Tim Reid

Hi,

I am afraid to say I didn't find much information to configure ISCSI MSC with script or powershell command. Only find steps to configure ISCSI MCS with GUI:
