How to change a flexclone security style via Powershell?

teebee — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:12:11 GMT

Sorry if this thread is misplaced not sure where to put Powershell questions...

I'm running Powershell cmdlets 9.9.1 (latest version) What I'm trying to accomplish is this.

I have a CIFS volume. I create a snapshot. I make a flexclone and mount it up. Everything is good there.

However I want to change the security style on the flexclone from NTFS to UNIX .

I have gone through every cmdlet that I believe is applicable and can't spot how to make this change any assistance would be appreciated. It's easy on a brand new volume but can't seem to find how to change the security style on an already existing volume.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use the "Update-NcVol" CmdLet with a query and attribute template. For example:

$q = Get-NcVol -Template Initialize-NcObjectProperty $q VolumeSecurityAttributes $q.VolumeSecurityAttributes.Style = "ntfs" $q.Vserver = "vserver1" $q.Name = "cifs_data_001" $a = Get-NcVol -Template Initialize-NcObjectProperty $a VolumeSecurityAttributes $a.VolumeSecurityAttributes.Style = "unix" Update-NcVol -Query $q -Attributes $a

Hope that helps
