Hi,

i use PowerShell Library NetApp.ONTAP 9.11.1.2208 and im succesfull connected.

Now i want to create a share and always got this error:

Add-NcCifsShare -Name Scan -Path vol_Daten/Scan

error is:

Add-NcCifsShare : HomeDirectory parameter specified, which is not supported for ONTAPI call

I try many other options but nothing works. My target is 9.7P19

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

No one is using Powershell to create shares?

Then I'll answer my own question.
The problem is was Powershell NetApp.Ontap version 9.11.1.2208. After downgrade to version 9.10.1.2111 creating a CIFS share works without problems.
Should you test software yourself before release? But there are also cooks who do not taste their own food...
