Powershell cmdlet for Flexcache creation in latest ONTAP version.

Logesh — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:38:37 GMT

As per latest PowerShell tool kit 9.14.1.2401, Cmdlet "New-NcFlexcache" shows Flexcache feature is not supported in ONTAP 8.3, so this cmdlet works in ONTAP 8.2 or lower only.
I would like to know how to use FlexCache from PowerShell for latest ONTAP versions.

Details:

PS > Get-help New-NcFlexcache -full

Hi,

If there is no CmdLet available to perform the task you want to achieve or a CmdLet only works with a particular version of ONTAP you can always use the Private REST CLI to invoke a CLI command via HTTPS.

PS C:\> Get-Help Invoke-NcCli NAME Invoke-NcCli SYNOPSIS For using the private CLI passthrough with the ONTAP REST API SYNTAX Invoke-NcCli -Command <String> [-Query <String>] [-Body <String>] [-Fields <String>] [<CommonParameters>] DESCRIPTION For using the private CLI passthrough with the ONTAP REST API. This cmdlet is supported with Rest. RELATED LINKS REMARKS To see the examples, type: "get-help Invoke-NcCli -examples". For more information, type: "get-help Invoke-NcCli -detailed". For technical information, type: "get-help Invoke-NcCli -full". For online help, type: "get-help Invoke-NcCli -online"
