Hello Good People,

I was trying to diagnose a LUN space issue on my Windows host today when i wanted to use the CMDLet "Get-NaHostDisk" in Powershell Toolkit 2.3 but would only get the below error message:

RDM to the VM?  Are you using DB/LOG mount points?

  • It's a FC RDM to the VM.
  • I'm using Drive letters for LUN's
  • There are 7 LUN's contected to a Data ONTAP 7.3.5 filer
  • I have multiple server with similar setup with same problem

Having the same issue, although bizarrely it does work on other servers with exact same PS versions and toolkit versions.

Server 1 - Working

Server 2 - Fails

Investigating further it seems the error is related to two disks in particular. These are located on a different vServer to the other disks, although the user running the command has access to both and both are set up within SnapDrive.
