Get-NcVol & Set-NcVol - how to set and display the volume COMMENT

Hello,

Actually with the Ontap shell client you can set or display a volume's comment.

volume show -volume XYZ

And you get a list of properties and one of those is a "Comment".

How can you display (or set) a volume comment with the "powershell ontap toolkit 9.6"?

At my knowledge there is no such property in the get-ncvol & set-ncvol CMDLET.

Is it even possible to use that property with the toolkit?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards,

Didier

Found it ... it is in the VolumeIdAttributes hash table.

For the archives, here it is:

Get-NcVol | select name,state,totalsize,used,available,dedupe,aggregate,vserver, @{N='Comment';E={$_.VolumeIdAttributes.Comment}} | ft -autosize
