Initialize-NaController can't connect to Filer

Hello,

i have some trouble with Initialize-NaController.

the Problem (testet with 7-Mode Ontap 8.01. Simulator):

the simulator has on e0c an DHCP Address ( 172.22.40.12 )

to change hostname and IP address on e0a i use

Initialize-NaController -DhcpAddress 172.22.40.12 -Gateway 172.22.1.1 -Hostname mysim -PrimaryInterfaceAddress 172.22.115.77

but i can't connect to this IP:

Initialize-NaController : Controller setup for controller '172.22.40.12' returned error Die Verbindung mit dem Remoteserver kann nicht hergestellt werden.

Bei E:\Daten\Projekte\Canon\powershell\allgemein\netapp\setNaHostnameIP.ps1:26 Zeichen:24

+ Initialize-NaController <<<< 172.22.40.12 mysim 172.22.1.1 -Password $PW -Verbose

+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (172.22.40.12:String) [Initialize-NaController], Exception

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Controller setup for controller '172.22.40.12' returned error Die Verbindung mit dem Remoteserver kann nicht hergestellt werden.,DataONTAP.PowerShell.SDK.

Cmdlets.Turnup.InitializeNaController

the german message means "Can't connect to remote server ...."

but a Connect-NaController works fine.

meybe i have misunderstand this command but it should work...

Thanks,

Mike

Hey Mike,

Initialize-NaController doesn't currently work with 8.0.1 7-mode... We're looking into it now stay tuned, and thanks for reporting your issue.

Hello Glenn,

Thanks for the quick response.

Is there an other way to set hostname via PowerShell?

My first idea to use Invoke-NaSsh -Command "hostname newhostname" doesn't work.

(set hostname via rsh is not allowed 😞 )

best regards

Mike
