Problem with Powershell Toolkit version 9.11.1 on cluster using Data ONTAP 9.11.1P5

I posted this on a different board originally, but I think it belongs here maybe?

I have a sandbox cluster running 9.11.1P6 that I used to test a Powershell script I developed using the 9.11.1.2208 version of the PowerShell Toolkit. The following line works in the sandbox:

$destpath = ($vserver+":"+$destinationvolume)

$sminfo = Get-NcSnapmirror -Destination $destpath

$sminfo then contains all the parameters relating to a specific snapmirror relationship which I use for automation. FYI, I connect to the controller at a previous point in the script and the variables are all set correctly. However, when I try to run the same script against a production cluster running Data ONTAP 9.11.1P5, it fails and $sminfo returns an empty object. I have tried adding -ONTAPI and -ZapiCall but that did not work. For business reasons I cannot upgrade the production cluster for several months so I need to find out if there is a problem with my script or a problem with P5. I checked the ONTAP release notes and cannot find anything specific to this problem. Any insight would be appreciated.

Sorry there hasn't been much interest in your question here. Can I suggest that you ask over in the NetApp Discord? There's an ontap-api channel that might be helpful. http://netappdiscord.com
