Netappdocs module is something new to me.. Is that something internal? I've never seen that before so I can't assist with the troubleshooting

This is a NetApp internal tool.

I believe the storage-disk-get-iter API is new as of DOT 8.1.

Does anyone have an older version of NetappDocs that doesn't call that API?

Since this is internal, I can't see, but let me ask you this.. what are you trying to accomplish and maybe I can assist?
