NetAppDocs Powershell errors

JoshAbe

I am trying to run the powershell commands to get the NetAppDocs on 7 -mode systems in HA pair with running version 8.2.4P4, as below:

PS C:\Windows\system32>Get-NtapFilerData -Name 'Controller-A', 'Controller-B' -Credential $cred |  Format-NtapFilerData | Out-NtapDocument -WordFile 'd:\Docs\document1.docx'

I can execute this scrip successfully on most of the controllers except few.  It worked on one of the controllers in a HA pair but not the other node. It doesn't work on both controllers in a HP pair in another instance. Below is the error in both scenarios.

Get-NtapFilerData : Unable to gather data from system. Reason: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 10.xx.xx.219:443
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-NtapFilerData -Name 'controller1', 'controller2' -Credential $cred | ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (controller1:String) [Get-NtapFilerData], Exception

Please share with me your thoughts what could be causing the issue.

Hi Josh,

This could be a couple of things.

First, can you check that the 'httpd.admin.enable' option (and maybe httpd.admin.ssl.enable) is turned on for these nodes?

If so, it may be related to the certificate key length, but this produces a different error. See this thread for that issue: https://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Virtualization-Discussions/Could-not-create-SSL-TLS-secure-channel/m-p/126601#M5174

If neither of these work then let us know and we can dig deeper.

Thanks,

Jason
