Please help a serious newbie to powershell. 🙂 Thanks to a lot of plagiarism from this community I was able to put together powershell line that outputs exactly what I need to see in the format I want to see it. It outputs snapshots older than 14 days and their sizes in GB: Get-NaVol | Get-NaSnapshot | where-object {$_.AccessTimeDT -le $Now.AddDays(-14) -and $_.Dependency -eq "" } | select TargetName,Name,Created,Total,CumulativeTotal,Dependency | ft @{Expression={$_.TargetName};Label="Volume";Width=20},@{Expression={$_.Name};Label="Name";Width=25},@{Expression={$_.Created.ToShortDateString()};Label="Created";Width=12},@{Expression={ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $_.Total DataSize "0.0"};Label="Total";Width=10},@{Expression={ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $_.CumulativeTotal DataSize "0.0"};Label="Cumulative";Width=10},@{Expression={$_.Dependency};Label="Dependency"} This works perfectly if I run it as a standalone line after I have already connected to a filer. But if I put it it in  the most simple of loops it errors out - I cannot for the life of me figure out why: $pass="p@ssword" $user = "root" $NetappList=("90.0.0.2","90.0.0.3") $password = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force $cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $user,$password $WarningDays = 14 foreach ($np in $NetappList) {     Connect-nacontroller $np -Credential $cred     Get-NaVol |     Get-NaSnapshot |     where-object {$_.AccessTimeDT -le $Now.AddDays(-14) -and $_.Dependency -eq "" } |     select TargetName,Name,Created,Total,CumulativeTotal,Dependency |     ft @{Expression={$_.TargetName};Label="Volume";Width=20},@{Expression={$_.Name};Label="Name";Width=25},@{Expression={$_.Created.ToShortDateString()};Label="Created";Width=12},@{Expression={ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $_.Total DataSize "0.0"};Label="Total";Width=10},@{Expression={ConvertTo-FormattedNumber $_.CumulativeTotal DataSize "0.0"};Label="Cumulative";Width=10},@{Expression={$_.Dependency};Label="Dependency"} } Output and error: Name                 Address           Ontapi   Version ----                 -------           ------   ------- 90.0.0.2             90.0.0.2          1.15     NetApp Release 8.1RC3 7-Mode: Wed Feb 15 19:28:21 PST 2012 out-lineoutput : The object of type "Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatStartData" is not valid or not in the correct sequence.

I understand that there might be an (unsupported) way to get system manager 2.0 to run on 64 bit linux. If anyone has a procedure for this I'd sure appreciate seeing it - my customer is trying to hack the package with no luck - and since 64 bit linux is all they run it's hard to talk them out of trying this  - with everyone understanding that it is fully unsupported. Past that - is this on the roadmap? Most people are running 64 bit these days - isn't it just a new compile? Thanks, Graham ... View more
