All

I am trying to work on a simple workflow for creating a symlink. I am attaching the WFA command I created which works fine, but the trouble is when I insert this into creating a new workflow and matching the variables. I am very new to this WFA and it is confusing after this step. Can anyone help me create this workflow so I can learn and progress.

All I am trying to do is a symlink creation using New-NaFileSymlink PS

For my needs my first selection should be a vFiler and then choose the corresponding qtrees/volumes on that particular vFiler.

My command summary

New-NaFileSymlink /vol/vol_cifs/ftp_qtree /vol/ftplinks/ftpid

FTPID - ftpid (input by the user)

FTPVolumeName - ftplinks

Qtree Name - ftp_qtree

VFilerName - vfiler1

Volume Name - vol_cifs

MY COMMAND INFO ( for some reason I cant attach my dar file)

param (

[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="Volume name")]

[string]$VolumeName,

[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="Qtree name")]

[string]$QtreeName,

[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="vFiler name")]

[string]$VFilerName,

[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="Array name or IP address")]

[string]$Array,

[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="FTP Volume Name")]

[string]$FTPVolumeName,

[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="FTP ID")]

[string]$FTPID

)

# connect to controller

Connect-WfaController -Array $Array

# Set QtreePath

$QtreePath = "/vol/" + $VolumeName + "/" + $QtreeName

$FTPpath = "/vol/" + $FTPVolumeName + "/"+ "/" +$FTPID

New-NaFileSymlink $QtreePath $FTPpath

Can you please paste a screen shot of the screen where you are exactly facing the problem?

I know of a Professional Service Engineer that is now the Principal Technical Architect that is very skilled with Powershell scripts like these. His name is John Fullbright. You could try e-mailing him at John.Fullbright@netapp.com & see if he has a moment to review your script. I'm sure a script like this would be very trivial for him.

Here is a link to his forum profile as well: https://communities.netapp.com/people/fjohn
