czheccom — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:10:08 GMT

hi，

After import the module ,I run the Show-Nahelp,it is normal.

And when i run the command Find-NaController ,the log messages were like this:

PS C:\> Find-NaController 192.168.100.212

“DataONTAP.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Discovery.FindNaController”的类型初始值设定
项引发异常。
所在位置行:1 字符: 18
+ Find-NaController <<<< 192.168.100.212

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], TypeInitializationExceptio
   n
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.TypeInitializationException

So any body here can help me to resolve the issue?

Thanks.

Hello, czh-eccom. I think we'll need a little more info, please:

What is the locale setting of your PowerShell host?
What type of device is at address 192.168.100.212?
Does the command work for other addresses in your environment?
Does the rest of the Toolkit work OK?
Immediately after the error occurs, what are the values of $Error[0], $Error[0].Exception, and $Error[0].Exception.InnerException?
Any additional info you can offer might be helpful.

What happens if you use quotes around the address, i.e. Find-NaController "192.168.100.212"

On execution a type initialization fails, but which one? What are the values of $Error[0], $Error[0].Exception, and $Error[0].Exception.InnerException? Does the Windows application log provide any clues? Have you tried this on any versions of Windows with languages other than 中文? That information would be helpful in tracking down the error you are experiencing.
