Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

madden — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:03:40 GMT

Hi,

I tried to reclaim space on a NetApp LUN and get:

PS C:\Users\administrator.NLTESTLAB> Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim -path W:

Reclaim volume free space

Are you sure you want to reclaim free space on volume W:\?

[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim], ArgumentException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : QuickReclaimVolume failed,DataONTAP.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Windows.InvokeNaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim

I verified the drive letter is indeed a NetApp LUN:

PS C:\Users\administrator.NLTESTLAB> Get-NaHostDisk -DataOntap

W:\ 4 50.0 GB sdt-fas270-top:/vol/sdt_win_real2/w_drive

I tried a reclaim on another LUN (on the caffeine controller above which runs 8.0) and it worked fine. The failure occurs on a FAS270 controller running 7.3.6P5.

Any tips to troubleshoot?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Try checking the disk model in WMI: [wmi](Get-NaHostDisk -Disk 4).DiskWmiPath

It should look something like this:

Partitions : 1

DeviceID : \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE4

Model : NETAPP LUN SCSI Disk Device

Size : 2198888778240

Caption : NETAPP LUN SCSI Disk Device

Thanks!

Steven

Hi Beam,

Chris was kind enough to post this problem on my behalf. I tried your suggestion but getting the below error:

PS H:\> (Get-NaHostDisk -Disk 4).DiskWmiPath

Get-NaHostDisk : Non-negative number required.

Parameter name: byteCount

Here is my Diskpart from the ost machine. Disk 3 to 7 are NetApp LUN's

Take a look at the disk in WMI (you can do this without Get-NaHostDisk):

PS C:\> [WMI]'\\.\root\cimv2:Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4"'

Partitions : 1

DeviceID : \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2

Model : NETAPP LUN SCSI Disk Device

Size : 2198888778240

Caption : NETAPP LUN SCSI Disk Device

The model and caption should give us some clues. If they do not look different than the one above, the full listing of the WMI object may tell us something: [WMI]'\\.\root\cimv2:Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4"' | fl *

Any resolution?

I've been running into this issue ever since the space reclaim cmdlet was available and

would like to see the cmdlet actually work.

Note, I am running this on Windows Server 2003 Standard, SP2. The windows_gpt

LUNs (7.12TB and 15.9TB) are on a FAS2040 running OnTap 8.0.2.

Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit 2.3.

SnapDrive v6.4.1 space reclaim does, oddly enough, work

Hi JConde,

No resolution just yet but have support ticket logged and currently working with them to find the problem. What version a Data ONTAP is your filers running? 7.3.x?

Hi Austin,

Is the windows server a VM?

VMWare ESXi Host Version?

VMWare vCentre Version?

VMware RDM or VM iSCSI?

NetApp Powershell toolkit version?

SnapDrive Version?

Have you tried SnapDrive Reclaim?

Type of Partiton on Windows Host? GPT or MBR? How many? (Diskpart can help get this info)

Windows Space used = ??

LUN Space used = ??

You can also do a test while you are doing the Space reclaim to make sure it is accessing the LUN by using the below powershell cmdlet:

PS H:\> Invoke-NaSysstat -Lun /vol/VOLUME_NAME/qtree_NAME/LUN

PADMANTECH — Tue, 14 May 2013 22:24:24 GMT

Hi Austin,

Thanks for the info. I've not run the "invoke-nahostvolumespacereclaim" cmdlet from a 2003 box but see from an older release of Netapp Powershell Toolkit 1.6 that it supports Server 2003 Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit 1.6 - NetApp Community.

There was a lot of work done to the "invoke-nahostvolumespacereclaim" cmdlet in the Netapp powershell toolkit version 1.7 release to support CSV LUN's and with this version I can not see any mention of support for Server 2003.

You can get your NetApp Powershell Toolkit version by running:

>Get-NaToolkitVersion

If your version is 1.7 or higher I would try to revert it to 1.6 and see what happens.

Also, is there any reason for not installing SnapDrive? It's a free tool i'm pretty sure and add's a lot of benefits for managing your LUN's on all Windows servers but i'd say especially Server 2003. I'm pretty sure it does not require downtime to install unless it requires some MS Patches to be installed but check the Install Guide.

-Jason

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

joseconde — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:47:56 GMT

Tried toolkit v1.6, same error. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of installing executables on

production servers without a lot of red tape and was hoping that this cmdlet would work

under Server 2003. Bummer - would have been real handy if it worked...

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

LORDGOLDNEYES00 — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:52:07 GMT

I am using version 2 of the toolkit, I haven't tried 1.6 but it sounds like the error will be the same. I am installing snapdrive but it involves 3 hotfixes, a restart and an install on each 2003 server. This is a lot more work and hard to do in a production environment.

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

LORDGOLDNEYES00 — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:52:22 GMT

Do you have a link to the 1.6 install?

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

joseconde — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:55:55 GMT

You'd think NetApp would make it easy to find but I had no such luck.

Fortunately, I had a copy of it already saved off on my local hard drive.

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

beam — Thu, 16 May 2013 16:14:01 GMT

Quick update: the issue you are running into with Windows Server 2003 is caused by a WMI query that references a column that does not exist in Server 2003. This causes the cmdlet to be unable to retrieve the disk model, which in turn leads to the "Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP" error. Look for a fix in a future release of the Toolkit.

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

LORDGOLDNEYES00 — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:17:23 GMT

Thank you for that information. Does snapdrive have the same issue?

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

ChanceBingen — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:25:44 GMT

SnapDrive should work.

Re: Failure: Invoke-NaHostVolumeSpaceReclaim : Target volume is not a LUN hosted by Data ONTAP.

r_paauw1000 — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 07:36:06 GMT

Is your LUN connected as a mount point? If so, you need to provide the path to the mount point, instead of just the driveletter.
