Compare-Object problems

sjallabais — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:51:04 GMT

Compare-Object does not seem to work on all Toolkit objects.

Examples:

Compare-Object (Get-NaNetPersistentConfig) (Get-NaNetActiveConfig)

Compare-Object (Get-NaLicense -controller $netapp1a) (Get-NaLicense -controller $netapp1b)

Both returns nothing when there are obvious differences.

Compare-Object (Get-NaOption -controller $netapp1a) (Get-NaOption -controller $netapp1b)

Works like it should.

I'm running Toolkit 1.4 and OnTAP 8.0.2RC1

Hi Sjalla,

You can provide more information to Compare-Object so it will understand what you want to compare.

For licenses you can specify the Service & Licensed properties:

PS C:\> Compare-Object (Get-NaLicense -contr $mcb) (Get-NaLicense -contr $mca) -Property Service, Licensed

Service Licensed SideIndicator

------- -------- -------------

disk_sanitization True =>

flex_clone False =>

disk_sanitization False <=

flex_clone True <=

And for the network config, you'll need to drill down a bit more into the object:

PS C:\> $net1 = Get-NaNetActiveConfig -Controller $mca

PS C:\> $net2 = Get-NaNetActiveConfig -Controller $mcb

PS C:\> Compare-Object $net1.Interfaces $net2.Interfaces -Property Interface,PrimaryAddresses

Interface PrimaryAddresses SideIndicator

--------- ---------------- -------------

e0a 10.61.132.11 =>

e0a 10.61.132.10 <=

e4c <=

e4d <=
