I am working on some automation using powershell and the powershell toolkit.  After creating a qtree and then its share, I am trying to set the 'ShareProperties' parameter, "browsable", which correlates to the checkbox in the UI for "allow client access to snapshot copies directory".   It fails saying, "ShareProperties parameter specified, which is not supported for REST call". 

I have tried it with Set-NcCifsShare and Add-NcCifsShare.  I am running the powershell module for NetApp.ONTAP Version: 9.16.1.2501 in PowerShell 7.5.1.

An example of the script.  If I take out the shareproperties piece, it works perfectly.

Set-NcCifsShare -Name $shareName -SymlinkProperties enable  -AccessBasedEnumeration $true -ShareProperties "browsable" -VserverContext $storageVM

Is there any way to set that option via PowerShell? 

Stop-NcSis : This operation is not permitted on a Vserver that is configured as the destination for identity discard Vserver DR.

I am trying to run Stop-NcSis but getting the above error. 

Please refer to the screenshot attached.

Also tried below cmd:

Invoke-NcSsh -Command 'set -privilege diag; vserver config override -command "vol efficiency stop -vserver test_DR -vol source"'

Error: unexpected argument "efficiency"  - please refer to screenshot.

Several ONTAP storage clusters are providing ONTAP Connection IDs larger than 64Bit Integer can support.  The commands are failing with this error:

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...

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

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

Hello all, Need some help.  I want to run the following:

volume snapshot show -fields create-time, size, state, is-constituent

Using the Ontap Powershell and redirect it to a local Excel format.  I can get connected to my Clusters using the Connect-NcController, just cannot get the syntax correct for the volume command.

Any help would be great. 

In the past, I've used Invoke-NcSSH to administer Ontap clusters from a central location.  i.e. I could pull the aggregate list from a cluster using a command like this:

Invoke-NcSSH -Controller ClusterName -Command "aggr show"

I also created a function to make the command shorter and allow me to run any OnTap CLI command on any cluster from a PowerShell window.  The problem is that it requires Putty >0.70 to be installed (no big deal), but it's really really slow.

I thought that Posh-SSH might work better, but you first have to establish a session, find the session ID, invoke a session to that session ID, then parse the output to get the data that I need.  This is what a Posh-SSH session looks like to do the same as what I'm doing with Invoke-NcSSH:

New-SSHSession -ComputerName ClusterName
Get-SSHSession
$var = Invoke-SSHCommand -SessionId 0 -Command "aggr show"
$var.Output

Does anyone have any fancy ways to make Posh-SSH work more like the way I was using Invoke-NcSSH above?  Essentially, I'd like to be able to run an OnTap CLI command from PowerShell using a single PS command.

Thanks in advance for any hints anyone can give me!

I am trying to run a PowerShell script to connect to multiple filers and do a 'get-ncvol'.  I have a scheduled task running from the Windows Task Scheduler that is running with a Group Managed Service Account. My script contains the username that I'm logging into the filer(s) with along with the password which is encrypted in a file (the encryption was done while running with the Group Managed Service Account).  I used the following to encrypt the password:

"password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Content "C:\myfiles\stuff\encryptedpassword.txt"

Then in my script, once again running as my Group Managed Service Account, I do the following:

$username = 'domain\id'

$password =  Get-Content "C:\myfiles\stuff\encryptedpassword.txt" | ConvertTo-SecureString

$hosts = Get-Content "C:\myfiles\stuff\filers.txt"

$cred =  $cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $password

$hosts | % { $filer = $_ Add-NcCredential -controller $filer -credential $cred }

foreach($cluster in $hosts)

 {

   Connect-NcController -name $cluster | Out-Null

   Get-NcVol | Export-CSV $filename -Append -NoTypeInformation

 }

When it tries to connect to the filer I get a "

Connect-NcController : Incorrect credentials for myfiler1

I can't figure out why the credential is incorrect.

I recently update our NetApp PSTK from 9.8 to 9.14.1.2401, and since the queries in my scripts are failing (see output below from 9.8 and 9.14).  OnTap version is 9.12.1P10.  Get-NcNetDeviceDiscovery is the only command I use the query with, so I don't know if it's all commands or just that one.

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error and how I can fix it?

It does work if I add -ONTAPI to the end of the command, but, from my understanding, that means it's reverting to ZAPI, and so will not work in future versions of OnTap, correct?

After searching the PowerShell Toolkit/module and forums, I've been unable to find this one. Is there a command that performs the equivalent of this CLI command?

vserver cifs domain discovered-servers discovery-mode [modify|show] ...

Can you point me to a definitive answer?

Thanks!

There is a field in the volume efficiencies called "auto-state" that does not seem to be accessible using standard PowerShell commands (Get-NcSis or Get-NcVolume). From the CLI, it is only visable in diag mode. Does anyone know any way to pull this information using PowerShell, other than using Invoke-NcSSH?

This is the command to view it in the CLI (while in diag):

vol efficiency show -volume vol1 -fields auto-state

I'm asking because we have workflows in WFA that are failing when we try to set the efficiencies on volumes that have been "deprioritized".

Trying to move over scripts from using module version 9.10 --> 9.14. Running the command 

Set-NcNetPortBroadcastDomain -Controller $primaryCluster -Name <broadcast domain> -AddPort <node:broadcast domain> 

doesn't add any ports to a broadcast domain. Using -ontapi works, but whenever that becomes deprecated how would we run this? 

Hi, I have a problem during an restore the path changed during a command?

I am trying to set the "snaplock-expiry-time" of a bunch of snapshots using the ONTAP Powershell toolkit...

Ontap 9.13.1P2, Powershell Toolkit 9.13.1.2306

I get the snapshot created value with the Get-NcSnapshot, then add 30 days with the $snapexpdate = $snapshot.Created.adddays(30)

I verify that the variables have been set correctly.

I then use the Set-NcSnapshotSnaplockExpTime with the -ExpiryTime $snapexpdate and the command executes OK.

Only thing is that this sets the "expiry-time" of the snapshot and not the "snaplock-expiry-time" which is not the same thing...

How do I set the "snaplock-expiry-time" of my snapshots?

Of cause I have the correct license (ONTAP One), snaplock compliance clock has been set, and snaplock has been set on the volume... and I am able to set the snaplock-expiry-time from both the commandline and GUI...  not apparently not via Powershell... ?

Is this a bug?  And is there other ways to set this?

Hello together,

we have a problem with the PowerShell Kit and Session IDs for CIFS.

We are running PowerShell Kit 9.13.1.2306 and OnTAP Version 9.12.1P3

We have a two node cluster and one SVM running on Node A have the problem when the corresponding LIF is also on Node A.

The error:

When we try to run the cmdlet "Get-NcCifsSessionFile -Vserver xxx" we encounter an error, that the Session ID is out of range from INT64.

Workaround:

When we move the LIF of the SVM to Node B, there is no error anymore.

Back to Node A, the Session ID is again greater than INT64.

On the OnTAP CLI the session ID can be checked with: 

vserver cifs session show

Does anyone knows about that behaviour or has a solution? 

Maybe it is possible to decrease the range for CIFS session ids?

Hey there

Since upgrading to Netapp Ontap Powershell Toolkit 9.11.1.2208 from PStoolkit 9.10.1.2111, AD login does not work anymore on our controllers:

However, when using PStoolkit 9.10.1.2111, AD login works without issues (even after reverting back from PStoolkit 9.11.1.2208). When using local accounts, the connection works without issues. Setting the option -https also does not help.

Hello,

I'm trying to get the new 9.12.1 Netapp.ontap powershell module to work but I'm having some difficulties.

I've used an older version of this on different servers before and it's worked fine. However on this new version running on server 2016 it errors when I try to do any sort of modify commands.

I can successfully log into the cluster and execute get commands fine, but when I try to do any sort of modify commands I get an error about allowing unencrypted access.

It just seems strange to me, I would think the array or powershell would either allow all traffic or none if it was truly something with encryption I wouldn't expect it to differentiate between get and modify commands.

I've attached a screenshot for reference.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi there

This might be a PS issue more than a NetApp issue, yet I will give it a try here 🙂

I'm trying to do a list of snapshots on volumes that are older than a specific date...

I connect OK to the cluster, and I can go a get-ncvol with no issues.. but when I try to add pipes to it, so to get the snapshots, it complains... 

so this works OK:

$volumes = get-ncvol

But this fails:

$snapshots = get-ncvol | get-ncsnapshot

And this also fails:

$oldsnapshots = get-ncvol | get-ncsnapshot | where-object {$_.created -lt "$maxsnapshotdesiredage"}

Finding old snapshots...
get-ncsnapshot : Volume parameter neither specified nor set

Hello friends, hope you're all safe and well!

I'm having a problem where automation scripts using NetApp Powershell Toolkit are running successfully, but upon first cluster login triggers an 'invalid ssh login' event confirmed in ontap logs, however all commands complete successfully returning desired data.  Functionally, the login error appears to be a false positive because the command completes.

History and t-shooting steps:

This started happening on multiple clusters after I generated new self signed SSL certs, as previous certs had expired.  Confirmed credentials used are correct and all previous caches were cleared.  I also cleared the certificate cache used by putty but no behavior change.  Same behavior occurs sourcing Invoke-NcSsh from a completely different server which was never used for netapp automation;  I installed the latest putty msi and latest netapp powershell toolkit, and ran Invoke-NcSsh command (output below) which completed successfully, yet still triggered an 'invalid ssh login' event.

Powershell copy & paste:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Import-Module DataONTAP
PS C:\Windows\system32> $creds = Get-Credential

cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Credential
PS C:\Windows\system32> Invoke-NcSsh -ControllerName [xx ommitted xx] -Command "version" -Credential $creds

NcController : [xx ommitted xx]
Value :

Last login time: 9/30/2021 17:22:51

Unsuccessful login attempts since last login: 1

NetApp Release 9.6P5: Fri Dec 13 18:21:56 UTC 2019

OnTap logs:

Message: security.invalid.login: Failed to authenticate login attempt to Vserver: [xx ommitted xx], username: admin, application: ssh.

Notice the 'Unsuccessful login attempts since last login' in the powershell output above.

Details:

-User is 'admin'.

-Using putty binary file to SSH into the cluster does NOT trigger an invalid login alarm - the alarm only occurs with powershell 'Invoke-NcSsh'.

-I followed documented steps for deleting and regenerating self signed SSL certs and assign them to the cluster vserver, but this problem has been happening ever since I did this.

Has anyone run into this before?  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks so much!

-Ben

Hello,

I just upgraded from version 9.10.1.2111 to version 9.11.1.2208 of the PowerShell Toolkit. After the upgrade, all of my PowerShell scripts fail with the message shown below. Any ideas as to the cause? I reverted to the VMware snapshot I took before upgrading and verified I can run the exact same commands pre-upgrade without any errors.

Connect-NcController : The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

FullyQualifiedErrorId : HttpConnectionFailed,DataONTAP.C.PowerShell.SDK.ConnectNcController

Has anyone has luck with the DataONTAP Docs and running this command?

I am running this against ONTAP 9.2P1 clusters and it is not generating a diagram within the Word DOC output?

PS C:\> Get-NtapClusterData -Name 'cluster1' | Format-NtapClusterData | Out-NtapDocument - WordFile 'D:\Output\cluster1.Docx' -ExcelFile 'D:\Output\cluster1.xlsx'

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade the NetApp PowerShell Toolkit from version 9.7.1 to 9.9.1, and I am finding it to be mind-numbingly confusing. First, I extracted the zip file to the download folder and tried running install.ps1 as described in the Installation Guide on page 7. I got the following error:

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

Suggestion [3,General]: The command install.ps1 was not found, but does exist in the current location. PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\install.ps1". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.

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

I tried the recommended syntax of .\install.ps1 and got this:

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

.\install.ps1: File C:\Users\!tthomas1\Downloads\NetApp.ONTAP\Install.ps1 cannot be loaded. A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file..

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

Since that wasn't working, I manually exported the zip file to the appropriate Program Files location and ran this command:

Import-Module "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\netapp_ontap\NetApp.ONTAP\NetApp.ONTAP.psd1"

It results in the following error. Note I am running as admin.

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

Import-Module: The following error occurred while loading the extended type data file:, C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\netapp_ontap\NetApp.ONTAP\DataONTAP.Type.ps1xml: The file was skipped because of the following validation exception: File C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\netapp_ontap\NetApp.ONTAP\Data
ONTAP.Type.ps1xml cannot be loaded. A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the

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

I then abandoned the installation guide and went to the following post:

https://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Virtualization-Discussions/NetApp-PowerShell-Toolkit-9-9-1-2106-released/m-p/167519

I tried the Install-Module command and got the following. After entering "Y", nothing happened.

The last release I installed was an extremely simple executable. This is frustrating to say the least. Can someone assist?

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea about what minimum permissions is required to connect to ontap? 

I am using the default readonly role and every read command that I have tried works.
However in the auditlogs I keep getting an Insufficient privileges.

The Connect-NcController tries to write to a file  /etc/powershell.

The audit log shows the following :

<netapp version='1.0' xmlns='http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin'><system-cli>^M <args>^M <arg>node</arg>^M <arg>run</arg>^M <arg>controller-a</arg>^M <arg>-command</arg>^M <arg>wrfile</arg>^M <arg>/etc/powershell</arg>^M <arg>;</arg>^M <arg>node</arg>^M <arg>run</arg>^M <arg>controller-a</arg>^M <arg>-command</arg>^M <arg>wrfile</arg>^M <arg>-a</arg>^M <arg>/etc/powershell</arg>^M <arg>// File generated by the Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit: powershell.usagelog.version=1: powershell.usagelog.lastupdated=1644250226: powershell.cmdlet.CONNECTNCCONTROLLER.count=1: powershell.cmdlet.GETNCVOL.count=1: powershell.usagelog.timestamp=1644250226: </arg>^M </args>^M <priv>advanced</priv>^M </system-cli></netapp>^M :: Pending:

Running Ontap 9.11,    I can't get quota reports on AD user targets.    Everything appear blank for QuotaTarget.    

Using the CLI works fine and shows the users.
