Support for UNIX

wippel — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:06:33 GMT

I'm missing cmdlets for a better UNIX support.

Is there a possibility for a reverse lookup, to get the hostname for an IP?

Is ther a posibility to get the hosts of a netgroup?

The NETAPP commands used for this purpose are YPWHICH and YPMATCH in addition to YPCAT and YPGROUP.

Why does Test-NaNfsExportPermission not support qtrees in its path?

PS R:\> Test-NaNfsExportPermission -host 10.200.29.210 -path /vol/vol1/? -permission root
True

Hello, wippel. I have captured your unix requests for consideration in a future release. Thanks for the suggestion.

As for Test-NaNfsExportPermission, it should work with qtrees:

PS C:\> Set-NaNfsExport /vol/vol2/testqtree -Root 10.61.167.61

PS C:\> Test-NaNfsExportPermission -Path /vol/vol2/testqtree -Host 10.61.167.61 -Permission root

True

Test-NaNfsExportPermission doesn't support wildcards as your example suggests, but you could get the same result like this:

PS C:\> Get-NaNfsExport | ? {$_.Pathname -LIKE "/vol/vol2/*"} | Test-NaNfsExportPermission -Host 10.61.167.61 -Permission root

True

Hello, Josef. I do, but that wouldn't seem to matter. The API docs don't mention any qtree limitations.

PS C:\> foreach ($export in (Get-NaNfsExport)) { Write-Host $export.Pathname ":" (Test-NaNfsExportPermission -Path $export.Pathname -Host 10.61.167.61 -Permission root) }
