Powershell Toolkit 9.14.1 Snapmirror Relationship does not work

Chuckm

We upgraded the Powershell Toolkit from version 4.1.0 to version 9.14.1. Prior to the upgrade, in Snapmirror Resync scripts,

we used the $Snapmirror.MirrorState (snapmirrored) and $Snapmirror.RelationshipStatus (idle) to indicate the completion of a transfer. Subsequent to the upgrade, both $Snapmirror.MirrorState and $Snapmirror.RelationshipStatus always show a value of "Snapmirrored", even after the transfer has completed and the actual value of $Snapmirror.RelationshipStatus is "idle". This is my first interaction with the Community so I am not sure about the procedure for requesting assistane, but I would like to ask whether anyone has experienced this issue.

Hi Chuck,

Here's an example of SnapMirror Resync for SVM-DR. Would be easy enough to add in the parameters you need if you want to resync individual volumes. It connects to the destination cluster, checks that the snapmirror relationship is broken-off, invokes a snapmirror resync and calls a function to check the snapmirror status in a loop until completed or a timeout value is exceeded. Usage example:

PS E:\Scripts\PowerShell\Projects\SnapMirrorResync> .\SnapMirrorResync.ps1 -DestinationCluster cluster2.testlab.local -DestinationVserver vserver3_dr -WaitInterval 3 -TimeOut 300

Hey Chuck

Are you able to share the code you are using? Which version of ONTAP are you using? I can test it in a lab and see if there's an issue I can pass onto the devs and look at a workaround.

Hi Matt. Thank you so much for the response.

We are currently using PowerShell Toolkit version 4.1.0.0 and are attempting to upgrade to version 9.14.1.2401 (I know, a big step). In a Powershell script in which we use the Invoke-NcSnapMirrorResync command, we use the $Snapmirror.MirrorState and $Snapmirror.RelationshipStatus to detect the completion of the tansfer. The following shows the result of the values of these parameters from a Get-NcSnapmirror command in our Toolkit version 4.1.0.0 and 9.14.1.2401 instances for the same Snapmirror relationship. These values were taken when the Relationship was in Idle status. During a resync, the status remais as 'Snapmirrored' causing our script not to recognize the completion of the transfer.

PowerShell Toolkit, ModuleVersion = '4.1.0.0'

PS C:\Windows\system32> $Snapmirror.MirrorState
snapmirrored

PS C:\Windows\system32> $Snapmirror.RelationshipStatus
idle

PowerShell Toolkit, ModuleVersion = '9.14.1.2401'

PS C:\Windows\system32> $Snapmirror.MirrorState
snapmirrored

PS C:\Windows\system32> $Snapmirror.RelationshipStatus
snapmirrored (should be idle)

I also think the $Snapmirror.RelationshipProgress is not being written, but I have not looked into that in detail.

The Resync scrpt. SVM is the name of the SVM and the SVMLIF is the IP of the SVM management LIF. The Jobname is not relevant for this instance.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response. The thourough error checking and documentation is super impressive. I will certainly make use of it to improvee my scripts when I have the time.

However, the problem I have is that with the 9.1.4 version of the Toolkit that I have on my server, the mirrorstate and status have constant values of "snapmrrored" when queried from the script. They do not change during the resync process, hence my script does not detect the end of the transfer. The resync continues to run until the transfer completes, but script does not detect the completion. This does not occur with the very old 4.1.0 version we are using on our production server. If you are using version 9.1.4, then my problem is an environmental issue on our server.

Regares,

Chuck

Hi Matt,

Using the ZapiCall, my Snapmirror Resync completed successfully.

Another problem I was experiencing with a New-NcClone failure was also resolved.

The following is the failure message from this failure:

New-NcClone : [400]: Cannot set the svm context from HTTP header using: "X-Dot-SVM-Name" or "X-Dot-SVM-UUID" while in an existing svm context.
At line:3 char:5
+ New-NcClone -Volume $SV -SourcePath $SLP -DestinationPath $DLP
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-NcClone], ArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [400]: Cannot set the svm context from HTTP header using: "X-Dot-SVM-Name" or "X-Dot-SVM
-UUID" while in an existing svm context.,DataONTAP.C.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Clone.NewNcClone

This seems to me to indicate that the HTTP protocol is not enabled on this server.

I have requested our server team to look into this. I will let you know the response.
