error with Get-NcAggr

Hello,

I've got an error

Get-NcAggr : Error converting value "inf" to type 'System.Nullable`1[System.Int64]'. Path 'space.efficiency.ratio', line 62,
position 20.
At C:\scripts\netapp.ps1:83 char:20

', line 62, position 20.,DataONTAP.C.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Aggr.GetNcAggr

My toolkit version

PS C:\Windows\system32> get-natoolkitversion

Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
9 12 1 2302

OnTAP version 9.12.1P3

How can I solve that? I've seen someone talked about ZAPI. I need to force that in the Toolkit?

thanks

Hi Maurizio,

Disclosure: I am a netapp employee but work on the PS/MSP side.

I came across this post searching for my own answers and your mention of ZAPI made me wonder if they just forgot to document a switch in the connect-nccontroller help... Sure enough, i found it via Get-Command:

((Get-Command Connect-NcController).parametersets).parameters | ft name,parametertype,aliases,helpmessage Name ParameterType Aliases HelpMessage ---- ------------- ------- ----------- Name System.String[] {Filer} Port System.Nullable`1[System.UInt16] {} Credential System.Management.Automation.PSCredential {Cred, Creds} HTTPS System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter {} HTTP System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter {} EnableSSLValidation System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter {} Transient System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter {} Vserver System.String {} Timeout System.Nullable`1[System.Int32] {} Connection timeout value in milliseconds. Only applies to HTTP/HTTPS. Add System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter {} ZapiCall System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter {ONTAPI} Use this to create Zapi connections to controller. Default would be REST for filers 9.6 and higher ApplicationName System.String {AppName} SSLVersion System.String {}

So just add the switch -ZapiCall; to your Connect-NcController command:

Connect-NcController "<clustername>" -Credential "<credentials>" -ZapiCall

The difference even when connecting to a 9.12P5 cluster (also im using the same PS module version as your are):

With -ZapiCall

I've noticed a lot of other breaking differences as well.
