PowerShell Toolkit 9.12.1 - Issue with Invoke-NcSnapMirrorUpdate (wrong snapmirror updated)

MRoney — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:50:23 GMT

I have a PowerShell script that worked with the PSTK version 9.8 but I am unable to get working with 9.12.1. It appears that I am unable to properly call the Invoke-NcSnapMirror* commands.

In the code, I retrieve a list of all snapmirrors on two FAS systems and present the user with a grid to select one to work on.

After selection, I validate the snapmirror select and I am able to call Get-NcSnapMirror using the retrieved selection data to see the status of the snapmirror.

But when I use the same variables to perform any Invoke-NcSnapmirror command, it works on the wrong snapmirror.

I added -ONTAPI to the command and it works correctly.

Here is the relevant code that does not work:

Wr G "3) Get SnapMirror List and select replications to reverse..."; ""

$SML = Get-NcSnapMirror -Controller $apfas -ErrorAction stop| select SourceVserver, DestinationVserver, Status, IsHealthy, TransferSchedule, SourceLocation, DestinationLocation, MirrorState, NcController, Policy, PolicyType, Vserver | sort SourceLocation
$SML += Get-NcSnapMirror -Controller $fpfas -ErrorAction stop| select SourceVserver, DestinationVserver, Status, IsHealthy, TransferSchedule, SourceLocation, DestinationLocation, MirrorState, NcController, Policy, PolicyType, Vserver | sort SourceLocation

$GridArguments = @{
OutputMode = 'Single'
Title = 'Please select a SnapMirror replication to revserse and click OK'
}

$SnapMirror = $SML | Out-GridView @GridArguments
if ( $SnapMirror -ne $null ) {

Wr G "SnapMirror Selected:"
$SnapMirror | Format-List

if ( $SnapMirror.NcController.Name -eq $fpfas.Name) {
$DstCtrl = $fpfas
$SrcCtrl = $apfas
} else {
$DstCtrl = $apfas
$SrcCtrl = $fpfas
}

$DstLoc = $SnapMirror.DestinationLocation
if ( $DstLoc -eq $null ) { Write-Error 'Destination Location Not Found' -ErrorAction Stop}
$Schedule = $SnapMirror.TransferSchedule
#$DstSVM, $DstVol = $DstLoc -Split ":"

$SrcLoc = $SnapMirror.SourceLocation
if ( $SrcLoc -eq $null ) { Write-Error 'Source Location Not Found' -ErrorAction Stop}
#$SrcSVM, $SrcVol = $SrcLoc -split ":"

Wr G "";Wr G "Get Status of SnapMirror Selected:"
Get-NcSnapMirror -Controller $DstCtrl -Destination $DstLoc | Format-List -Property *

Invoke-NcSnapMirrorUpdate -Controller $DstCtrl -Destination $DstLoc -Source $SrcLoc -ErrorAction stop

To make the code work, I simply change the last command by adding "-ONTAPI" to it.

Am I doing something wrong with RESTAPI?
