Error again with this new version of Powershell Toolkit

PerhapsCloud — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:49:36 GMT

Used to be able to expand a QTree quota with the following command without any problems:

set-NcQuota -path /vol/vol1/qtree1 -DiskLimit 150gb

Now with the new version it stopped working, keeps throwing an error of:

"Group parameter neither specified nor set"

Did anybody have that problem and knows a fix?? Thanks

Hi,

Which version of the PSTK are you running (See "Get-NaToolkitVersion") and which ONTAP version. If you are using the latest PSTK version have you tried using the "-ontapi" parameter when connecting to your cluster?

Hi Matt,

I'm using 9.12.1 for the PSTK. My ontap however is 9.11.x, do they have to match?

I've already used the -ontapi parameter and still getting the same error.

Hi,

No they don't have to match, just helps to troubleshoot. Sounds to me like a bug in the PSTK. Looking at the "Set-NcQuota" CmdLet it's using the following ZAPI:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <netapp xmlns="http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin" version="1.160"> <quota-set-entry> <disk-limit></disk-limit> <file-limit></file-limit> <perform-user-mapping></perform-user-mapping> <policy></policy> <qtree></qtree> <quota-target></quota-target> <quota-type></quota-type> <soft-disk-limit></soft-disk-limit> <soft-file-limit></soft-file-limit> <threshold></threshold> <volume></volume> </quota-set-entry> </netapp>

As a workaround have you tried using the native REST API in a function rather than using the CmdLet in the PSTK? It looks like the equivalent REST API for the Set-NcQuota CmdLet is:

/storage/quota/rules

{ "files": { "hard_limit": "100", "soft_limit": "80" }, "qtree": { "id": "1", "name": "qt1" }, "space": { "hard_limit": "1222800", "soft_limit": "51200" }, "svm": { "name": "svm1" }, "type": "user", "user_mapping": "on", "users": [ { "name": "fred" } ], "uuid": "264a9e0b-2e03-11e9-a610-005056a7b72d", "volume": { "name": "fv" } }
