Troubleshooting: enabled PSTK debugging

• ERROR DataONTAP.C.PowerShell.SDK.NcRestInterface - The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
• ONTAP does not allow the QoS commands to be assigned to any role at the SVM level – so  can’t fix this by adding a permission
• Although ZAPI works, dropping back to using ZAPI is not a viable solution, as it’s only maintained for “legacy” and on a sunset path

To reproduce
a. Install PowerShell toolkit
b. Setup vsadmin user on an SVM
c. Setup management lif on the SVM
d. Connect to the SVM management lif with the vsadmin account (or account with vsadmin assigned)
e. Execute Get-NcVol, with no QoS policies applied – success, no errors
f. Apply QoS policy or Adaptive QoS policy to a volume
g. Execute Get-NcVol again, 403 error occurs
h. Enable debug level logging, Set-NaToolKitConfiguration -LogLevel DEBUG
i. Note the qos/policies endpoint being attempted

Reproduced using PowerShell Toolkit 9.15.1, 9.16.1, and 9.17.1 – connecting to ONTAP 9.16.1P8 and ONTAP 9.17.1P7
 

Idea/suggestions on long term fix? 

Hello *,

after upgrading NetApp PSTK to latest version 9.12.1.2302 on our win 2012R2 script host and running some dr scripts i noticed a possible error/bug in "New-NcVol" command.

When using the parameter -language PS runs the new new-ncvol command without any errors but no volume will be created. I tried every possible combination but no volume wil be created. When leaving out the parameter volume will be created but we need to have a different language from svm root volume.

Can anyone confirm the same problem when using -language?

Currently it seems like every version of PSTK has its own big bugs which leaves them nearly unusable.

Hello,

I am setting up a new 2022 Windows server to run PowerShell scripts on NetApp. I installed the latest version of the PowerShell Toolkit [9.18.1.2601] and am running a few basic commands to test. Running Import-Module NetApp.ONTAP seems to work fine. However, when I run Connect-NcController, I get the following error. This is with and without the -Ontapi switch. Any suggestions?

We have been using NetApp Shift to convert our VMs from VMware to Hyper-V.  I am now starting on our second group of hosts running through a different vcenter server.  And it will not do a discovery of that cluster.  It will discover the VMs, then fail on Discovering volumes and mapping to VMs.

We have a primary and a disaster recovery cluster both with their own vcenter, it fails to discover either.  They are using Zerto to replicate between the two.

I am wondering if it is because that cluster is running Zerto replication.  Is Shift and Zerto compatible?

I'm trying to abide by the Least Privilege model and create a role that only has the privileges needed to run a PowerShell script I plan to run that has these cmdlets: 

• Connect-NcController
• Get-NcFile
• new-ncsymlink
• add-nccifssymlink
• Remove-NcCifsSymlink
• Remove-NcFile

I have figured out that the Connect-NcController runs a few APIs before it returns so it needs exact privileges. Here is what I have in my role so far:

> security login rest-role show -vserver prod1 -role createlink
            Role                              Access
Vserver     Name          API                 Level
----------  ------------- ------------------- ------
prod1       createlink     /api/cluster       readonly
                           /api/protocols/cifs/unix-symlink-mapping
                                              all
                           /api/storage/volumes
                                              readonly
                           "/api/storage/volumes/*/files"
                                              all
                           /api/svms          readonly

When I run Connect-NcController, pointing to a vserver, with the credentials of the account that is assigned the limited role, it seems to connect just fine. However, no matter which cmdlet I run afterward, I get the following error:

The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

After that one failed cmdlet, the rest of them run just fine. If I authenticate with an account that has more privileges (e.g. vsadmin-volume) it doesn't have this issue. So, I assume it is a privilege problem, but I have no way of knowing which one. As far as I can tell 'security audit log show' doesn't show API calls that were declined for lack of permission so I can't figure it out that way. I already added the /api/clusters and /api/svms to get as far as I have.

One oddity that I did see from 'security audit log show' was when I run with the limited role, I see this API get called, but never finish (i.e. I only see the "Pending" and not "Sucess" or "Error")

GET /api/private/cli/system/node/virtual-machine/instance/show-settings?fields=consumer :: Pending

When I run with an account with more privileges, that API call finishes. I tried giving permissions to that API path to my limited role, but it didn't seem to help, in that the problem is still there, and that API never seems to generate any results.

If anyone has any ideas how to resolve this problem, I would be greatly appreciative. Is there a way to get the cmdlets to show the APIs it is making?

And if you can't help with that, can you help me totally suppress the error message? I tried adding -ErrorAction SilentlyContintue but I still see an error.

Here is the script I am running:

$controller = "198.19.255.116" # Vserver Management port
#
# This is the path to where you want the symbolic link to reside using
# a full path starting with /vol/volume_name/
$fileToCreate = "/vol/app1/testlink"
#
# This is where you want the link to point to. It should NOT start with
# /vol/volume_name/ and MUST end with a '/'. For a UNIX client, it will
# be redirected to this path.
$whereToPointTo = "/test-destination/subdir/"
#
# For a CIFS client, with a CIFS Symbolic link, they don't follow the
# path the UNIX link points to, it is more of a pattern match
# and is replaced with what $cifsPath is set to.
$cifsPath = "/cifspath/"
#
# If using a "wide" CIFS Symbolic link, the client can be redirected to
# another CIFS share as well as the path. But, in this case, we are
# using a "local" CIFS Symbolic Link, so the client will be redirected
# to the same share where the link resides.
$shareName = "app1"
#
# Create credentials based on the username and password above.
$connection = Connect-NcController -Name $controller -Credential(Get-Credential)
if ($connection -ne $null) {
  Write-Host "Connected to $controller as $username."
  #
  # Since for some strings reason the first call always fails, so just do one and ignore it.
  # Unfortunately, this command generates an error message no matter what I set the ErrorAction
  # to. There might be another command that will honor it.
  Get-NcFile -Path $fileToCreate -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
} else {
  Write-Host "Failed to connect to $controller!"
  exit
}
#
# Check to see if the file already exists. If it does, remove it.
$fileProperties = Get-NcFile -Path $fileToCreate -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
if ($fileProperties -ne $null ) {
  write-host "Removing cifssymlink $whereToPointTo"
  Remove-NcCifsSymlink -UnixPath $whereToPointTo -Confirm:$false
  Write-Host "Removing UNIX link $fileToCreate"

I would like to submit a feature enhancement request regarding the NetApp ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit.

In our environment, Windows FIPS mode is enabled (“System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing”). Under this configuration, the Invoke-NcSSH cmdlet fails because the underlying SSH implementation does not use FIPS-validated cryptographic providers.

As a result, we are unable to use Invoke-NcSSH in our production automation workflows, even though SSH access itself is permitted. This creates a limitation for customers operating in security-hardened or compliance-regulated environments (e.g., FIPS 140-2/140-3).

We would like to request that NetApp consider implementing a FIPS-compliant SSH option in the ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit. Possible approaches could include:

• Leveraging Windows’ built-in OpenSSH client or system crypto providers

• Using a FIPS-validated cryptographic library

• Providing an alternative secure transport mechanism that meets FIPS requirements

FIPS compliance is increasingly required in enterprise and government environments, and having native support within the PowerShell Toolkit would greatly improve its usability in secure deployments.

Please let us know if this enhancement request can be logged formally (PER) and whether there are any current or planned roadmap items addressing FIPS compliance for SSH functionality in the toolkit.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello,
We have a NetApp SANtricity (E-Series) array and are planning to use it as storage for a Hyper-V cluster (Windows Server).

• Has anyone implemented this setup before?
• What are your experiences regarding performance and stability?
• Are there any best practices or pitfalls to be aware of (iSCSI, MPIO, CSV, etc.)?
  
  

I know Ontap is better for this usage but can i have real good performances for VM on production environnement ? 

Thanks for your feedback and recommendations!

Hi everyone.

I'm fairly new to PowerShell. I was tasked with verifying all of our scripts run in PowerShell 7. Currently they are running in PowerShell 5.  When used in PowerShell 5, the Get-NcVol command works perfectly, but in PowerShell 7 it misses nearly all of our volumes.  I installed the latest version of NetApp PowerShell Toolkit (ver. 9.17.1), but no change. I'm puzzled by this behavior.

The main issue right now is the command:  Get-NcVol.  

Example:  PowerShell 5.

     PS C:\Users\_dhiggins> $volumes = Get-NcVol

     PS C:\Users\_dhiggins> $volumes.count
     566    <-- this is correct

Example:  PowerShell 7:

     PS C:\Users\_dhiggins> $volumes = Get-NcVol
     PS C:\Users\_dhiggins> $volumes.count
     23     <-- Why?? Nothing changed.

We are using Windows Server 2022 Standard, ver. 21H2 (PowerShell 7 is running in Visual Studio Code), fully updated.

Has anyone encountered this?  Do I need to use the Get-NcVol command differently in PS7??  I am unable to find a solution. I contacted NetApp and they directed me here.

Thank you, Doug

I created a new role that should only have snapshot permissions to volumes ending with _stg:

security login role create -role stg-admin -vserver dc -cmddirname "volume" -access readonly
security login role create -role stg-admin -vserver dc -cmddirname "vserver" -access readonly
security login role create -role stg-admin -vserver dc -cmddirname "network interface" -access readonly
security login role create -role stg-admin -vserver dc -cmddirname "volume snapshot" -query "-volume *_stg" -access all

A new user with that role is not able to delete a random snapshot for vol1, but is able to delete snapshots from vol2_stg. So permissions are working properly. The problem is I'm getting "Remove-NcSnapshot : [403]: not authorized for that command" on both examples, even when it does successfully delete the vol2_stg vol snapshot. Am I missing a permission it's expecting even though it is successfully deleting them? Or is this a bug in NetApp.ONTAP module? 

I use Powershell to create a script,
ONTAP Powershell Version is 9.14.1

I user get-ncdisk command to get disk information,

and my environment is simulator,

At the beginning the command [get-ncdisk] can be use,

but suddenly I can't use get-ncdisk,

and system force me to use -zapi to performance,

but zapi can't get some information,
for example when I don't -use -zapi, I can see Shelf ID
but If I use -zapi, the Shelf ID Field is empty,
how can fix this problem?

I define 2 variable 
$node0disk = get-ncdisk -zapi | Where-Object {($_.Bay -ne 23) -and ($_.DiskRaidInfo.ContainerType -eq "spare") -and ($_.DiskOwnershipInfo.OwnerNodeId -eq $allnode[0].NodeSystemId)}
$allnode = get-ncnode

the $node0disk output is

it show me error, it tell me I don't have share permission,

Is anyone tell me how to create a library share in SCVMM?

Hi all, I'm experiencing an issue with the Netapp.ONTAP powershell module. Any time I run Get-NcCifsSessionFile, I get this error:

Other commands do work, but this one and a few others (I don't remember which offhand) all get this integer conversion error. 

Per a thread back in March, this was supposedly resolved, but I am getting this today.

Hey Team,

I'm trying to put together a powershell script to run a healthcheck on a NetApp Environment and output a document, similar to the way NetAppDOCS works.

I'm new to PS and frankly have no idea where to start, any suggestions on how to get going?

I want to check things like capacity, efficiency, etc.  My goal is to generate a report from a system that doesn't have ASUP turned on that i could hand to a customer so show them the state of their environment...

We're migrating our datacenters to Hyper-V/SCVMM from VMware and through this process we started using the SMI-S Provider with SCVMM 2022.   I noticed today that all easy to find references to SMI-S Provider are missing from the NetApp Support site...  They can still be found through search, but are all marked as "Legacy".

Given that SCVMM only supports SAN Arrays through either SMI-S or SMP, what is the plan moving forward for this, given how many orgs are moving away from VMWare and into Hyper-V/Azure Stack HCI as a solution?

Presumably the way to go would be SMB shares, but given that the SMI-S provider is still required to be able to add NetApp hosted SMB shares (No WSMAN on NetApp so the "Add File Share" option fails), this leaves me in a bit of a predicament. 

Hi,

when running get-ncjob we found, that there are missing information. So essential the Job-ID and JobName.

This was in older version not. As we have scripts which bases on this information, these scripts are not running anymore.

Any ideas what we can do, to get this run again.

We have downloaded the power shell toolkit for NetApp. And we are creating the failover failback scenario with the powershell scripts for NetApp. So I am not looking for the ONTAP native CLI commands. We are looking for the powershell command for reverse sync.
Please assist. 

i'm trying to get all cifs options from a svm via pstk (9.16.1.2501)

using option -ZapiCall gives me all the options with values.

Without this option there are only some options populated with settings, for most of them i see the value false.

studying the help for the command didnt reveal how to do this via rest.

Any help is appreciated.

Deal All,
I have installed ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit 9.15.1 to automate health check report. Executing below command does not show
used space both for aggregates and volumes
get-ncaggr

get-ncvol

I m using ONTAP version 9.12.x  but the ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit is at  9.15.1. 
m i missing anything ?  Appreciate you guidance.

PowerShell Toolkit 9.16.1を使用するためのシステム要件について確認させてください。
PowerShell Toolkitをインストール予定のWindows2022サーバは現在.NET Framework 4.8が導入されていますが、
システム要件に記載がある.NET Framework 4.7.2 以外は動作しないのでしょうか？

NetApp.ONTAP PowerShell ToolkitのインストールURLに下記記載があるのは確認済みとなっております。
https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/tools/tool-eula/ontap-powershell-toolkit

Operating System Version
Microsoft Windows PowerShell 5.1 or 7.3.4 or later
Microsoft .NET Framework .NET Framework 4.7.2
Microsoft Windows 8.1,10, Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 ,2022

Please let me check the system requirements for using PowerShell Toolkit 9.16.1.

The Windows 2022 server on which I plan to install the PowerShell Toolkit currently has .NET Framework 4.8 installed.

Will it only work with .NET Framework 4.7.2, which is listed in the system requirements?

I would like to know if it will work with .NET Framework 4.8.

I have confirmed that the installation URL for the NetApp.ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit contains the following information:

https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/tools/tool-eula/ontap-powershell-toolkit

Operating System Version

Microsoft Windows PowerShell 5.1 or 7.3.4 or later

Microsoft .NET Framework .NET Framework 4.7.2

We found what appears to be a bug or unintended behavior with add-ncnfsservice.

We want to create a new NFS service configuration on a vserver, but we want to have NFSv4.0 and NFSv4.1 disabled; only NFSv3 enabled.

We first obtain a default configuration:

$nfs_config = get-NcNfsService -template

If we examine the template values, we can see that NFSv3 is enabled and NFSv4 is disabled:
(I have shortened the output but I have attached the full output to my post)

PS> $nfs_config

Vserver GeneralAccess IsNfsv3 IsNfsv4 IsNfsv41 DefaultWindowsUser
------- ------------- ------- ------- -------- ------------------
            True       True    False   False

Using this template, I create a new NFS service on my SVM:
PS> add-NcNfsService -vservercontext XXXXXX -attributes $nfs_config

Vserver GeneralAccess IsNfsv3 IsNfsv4 IsNfsv41 DefaultWindowsUser
------- ------------- ------- ------- -------- ------------------
XXXXXXX     True       True    True     True

If I go to the OnTAP CLI and perform a "nfs show", it shows that v4.0 and v4.1 are enabled, which is not the desired config.

Please comment and provide a resolution for this.

I just upgraded the PowerShell Toolkit from 9.15.1.2407 to 9.16.1.2410. As it seems to happen with nearly every upgrade, it isn't working.

First, what happened to install.ps1? That made installations super easy and now it's gone.

Second, if I understand correctly, we should unzip the NetApp.OnTAP download, then unzip the underlying NetApp_OnTAP zip file, and finally copy the NetApp.OnTAP folder to the appropriate path, in our case "C:\Program Files (x86)\Netapp\NetApp PowerShell Toolkit\Modules" (that's where the existing folder is located).

I tried copying on top of the existing folder and replacing files, and I tried deleting the original folder and replacing it with the whole new folder. In both cases, when I run Import-Module NetApp.ONTAP I get the following. Anyone know the cause? The file it lists (OntapiPS.dll) is in the location it lists.

------------------------------------------------------------

Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Netapp\NetApp PowerShell
Toolkit\Modules\NetApp.ONTAP\OntapiPS.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from

Hello Team, 

Anyone please help me to find the command  for adding  existing snapshot policy to a volume 

I have tried with  " get-ncvol volume name  -Vserver  vserver name   |  Set-NcSnapshotPolicy   policy name" but failed 

 Also  I was trying  update-ncvol  as well , but could not  find snapshotpolicy name option there.

it looks like I am not using the current context?

I am using powershell tool kit 9.8.xx 

Thanking you in advance.

Regards,

Shyju.

I am trying to create a powershell script that will give me a list of every file in our cluster that is greater than 4GB.

The script must include file path information and output to a .txt file.

So far, I only have the bones of a script and I've been testing it on my work PC.

The final version will likely have to be run on the domain controller, but I am not sure how to build the script from the context of the DC.

$path = "C:\Users\LJONAH"
$sizeThreshold = 10
$outputPath = "C:\temp\OIS_large_files.txt"
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -File -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
Where-Object {$_.Length / 1MB -gt $sizeThreshold}| Select-Object FullName, @{Name="Size GB";Expression={ "{0:N0}" -f ($_.Length / 1GB) }} | Out-File -FilePath $outputPath

Hi everyone,
I would need to purge the volume-recovery queue in my script.
I can't find the cmdlet.
Can someone give me some advice please?
Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Bye
