no vserver option in New-NcSnapshotPolicy cmdlet?

djwarner2929 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 20:54:00 GMT

I'm trying to automate creating snapshot policies with Powershell. It looks like the New-NcSnapshotPolicy cmdlet doesn't have a vserver option. So when I run it, all policies are created under the cluster vserver. The cli command of snapshot policy create has the vserver option. Any ideas why I can't do the same with Powershell? I have toolkit 4.1 with CDOT of 8.3.1. Thanks.

Hello,

This options is not available event with the last PSTK 4.0.0.231

Here the help of the cmdlet:

NAME
    New-NcSnapshotPolicy

SYNOPSIS
    Create a new snapshot scheduling policy.

SYNTAX
    New-NcSnapshotPolicy [-Name] <String> [-Schedule] <String> [-Count] <Int32> [-Prefix <String>] [-Enabled [<Boolean>]] [-Comment <String>]
    [-SnapmirrorLabel <String>] [-Controller <NcController[]>] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-ZapiRetryCount <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    Create a new snapshot scheduling policy.

PARAMETERS
    -Name <String>
        The name of the snapshot scheduling policy which has to be created. This cmdlet creates a snapshot policy and adds a schedule to it.
        The maximum length of this string is 256 characters.

    -Schedule <String>
        First schedule to be added inside the policy. At least one schedule has to be added to create a policy.

    -Count <Int32>
        Retention count for the snapshots created by the first schedule. The count of all the snapshots to be retained for this policy cannot
        be more than 255.

    -Prefix <String>
        Snapshot name prefix for the first schedule. Prefix name should be unique within the policy.

    -Enabled [<Boolean>]
        Status of the snapshot policy indicating whether the policy will be enabled or disabled. If set to true, the policy will be enabled.

    -Comment <String>
        A human readable description associated with the snapshot policy. The maximum length of this field can be 255 characters.

    -SnapmirrorLabel <String>
        Label for SnapMirror Operations. Maximum length of this field is 31 characters.

    -Controller <NcController[]>
        A clustered Data ONTAP controller to receive this cmdlet, as embodied by an NcController object. This parameter is returned by the
        Connect-NcController cmdlet. If not specified, the value in the global variable CurrentNcController is used. In the latter case, if
        CurrentNcController contains a collection of NcController objects, this cmdlet is invoked on each controller in succession.

    -PipelineVariable <String>

    -ZapiRetryCount <Int32>

    <CommonParameters>
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
        about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

Is there any chance to see this option in the futur?

TIA
