First Time On This Discussion, a General Question On Shelfs and on Powershell Cmdlets

PhillipUdel — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:06:53 GMT

I am working on powershell scripts for netapp to configure and verify against a baseline. Is there a good Fourm for Questions and Contrubitions?

For Example: I created a function that returns the results of Invoke-NcSsh as a Object instead of a string.

I am also working on a replacment for Invoke-NcSsh that does not require putty. Should be much faster...

I also have a Shelf question. Assume that I have a Cluster on the other side of the planet, and I need to know the shelf ID for the base and the extra shelf. without putting eyes on the hardware how can I deturming what hardware has what ID?

Thanks inadvance.

Phil

As to your shelf question, a couple options come to mind:

1. The Cluster Viewer component of Active IQ, which can show you a Stack Diagram that will include a diagram with shelf IDs, serial numbers, disks, etc.

2. The Visualization portion of a Config Advisor data collection job (Run data collection for the cluster in question, click on View & Analyze, and then click on the cabling diagram under the "Visualization" header. *Note*: You will need to check the box to "enable visualization and device details" within the Config Advisor settings menu to get this data
