Error creating vserver subtype dp-destination with PowerShell Toolkit

MadSANMan — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:30:29 GMT

I'm trying to script DR vserver creation on a FAS we have at our DR site using the PowerShell Toolkit. When I try and create the vserver using the New-NcVserver command with subtype dp-destination, it prompts me for the root volume information as shown in the first snippet of text below. But then it tells me I can't supply anything other then the vserver name, comment and ipspace. If I supply the root volume information with the command, I get the same error. If I leave the prompts to the root volume information blank as shown in the second snippet, it comes back with a different error. The command appears schizophrenic. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

PS> New-NcVserver -Name dr_01234fs01 -Subtype dp-destination
cmdlet New-NcVserver at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
(Type !? for Help.)
RootVolume: dr_01234fs01_root
RootVolumeAggregate: aggr1_dd_netapp02_02
RootVolumeSecurityStyle: NTFS
New-NcVserver : Cannot specify options other than Vserver name, comment and ipspace for a Vserver that is being configured as the destination for Vserver DR.
