ONTAP PowerShell commands run in debug mode.

All of my ONTAP PowerShell commands are, by default, running in debug mode. The commands all work, they are just prefaced with debug trace information. I'm running DataONTAP 9.8.0 & NetApp.ONTAP 9.13.1.2306. Sample output follows:

connect-nccontroller -Name johnnacm01 -Credential $(Get-Credential)

what about the following variable? default is "SilentlyContinue"

PS C:\temp> $DebugPreference
SilentlyContinue
PS C:\temp>

Thanks for the reply, Christian...

did that solve your problem? was that the right approach? If not, than I can't help you any further 😞

Hi Christian, unfortunately it did not. The odd thing is if I run the same ONTAP cmdlets from Powershell ISE they work fine, it's only when I run them from a Powershell window they run in debug mode.

Hi David,

Have you tried turning off debug logging?

Set-NaToolkitConfiguration -LogLevel OFF PARAMETERS -LogLevel <String> The log level. Possible values: DEBUG, ERROR, WARN, OFF.

Hope that helps
