get-ncsis is not returning full list of volumes

StevePutre — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 15:05:43 GMT

I am using the following releases:

PSTK 9.13.1

OnTAP 9.10.1p12

Using get-ncsis to list out all volume efficiencies on the cluster works as expected with ONTAPI:

get-ncsis -ontapi returns about 400 results (roughly the number of volumes in the cluster).

However, get-ncsis (no options; uses REST) returns only four volumes. It seems to be the same four volumes every time.

On a different cluster (same OnTAP release), the ONTAPI call returns all volumes, but the REST call returns 10 fewer volumes

Any idea why this may be happening?

The REST call to get volumes does not return all of the volumes.

The following types of volumes are reported:

– RW, DP and LS volumes
– FlexGroup volume
– FlexCache volume
– FlexClone volume
– FlexGroup constituent

The following volumes are not reported:

– DEL and TMP type volume
– Node Root volume
– System Vserver volume
– FlexCache constituent

See: DOC /storage/volumes

Please let me know if that is the reason behind the differences in the volumes reported.

No that does not appear to be the issue. There are about 400 volumes in the cluster, of type RW and LS. The ONTAPI version of get-ncsis correctly returns all of them, but the REST version returns only 4 volumes. I am running the cmdlet without any options other than '-ontapi'.

Ok, let me reach out to the Powershell Toolkit team and see if they have an answer to this.

Hi Steve
I attempted to replicate the issue at my environment but, I was unable to do so. Could you please share the debug logs of the cmdlet using Set-NaToolkitConfiguration debug ? It will be great help for me to analyze the issue .
