Hey All,
Mainly documenting this here in case anyone else runs into this.
I was testing out a WFA command to rename a node and was getting errors about NonInteractive mode when testing the command.
Output from the command test:
20:29:20.316 INFO [Rename Node] ### Command 'Rename Node' in 'POWER_SHELL' ###
20:29:22.863 INFO [Rename Node] Get-WfaCredentials -Host primary_cluster
20:29:22.894 INFO [Rename Node] Credentials successfully provided for 'primary_cluster'
20:29:22.941 INFO [Rename Node] Connect-Controller -Type CLUSTER -Name primary_cluster -Credential System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -Vserver

20:29:25.097 INFO [Rename Node] Connected to cluster node
20:29:25.113 INFO [Rename Node] Renaming node 'test' with new name of 'test2' on Cluster 'primary_cluster'
20:29:25.191 ERROR [Rename Node] Windows PowerShell is in NonInteractive mode. Read and Prompt functionality is not available.
20:29:25.300 ERROR [Rename Node] Failed executing command. Exception: Windows PowerShell is in NonInteractive mode. Read and Prompt functionality is not available.
I ran the code from the Windows server itself and the error was apparent - it's trying to confirm the action:
PS C:\Program Files\netapp\wfa\posh> rename-ncnode -name primary_controller-01 -NewName test
Rename node
Are you sure you want to rename node primary_controller-01 to test?
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): PS C:\Program Files\netapp\wfa\p
osh>
PS C:\Program Files\netapp\wfa\posh>
So I ended up adding '-Confirm:$false' to the command code and things work properly now.
Here's the PoSH code for the node rename if anyone needs it. Super simple but might save someone a few minutes of work.
param (
[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="Cluster IP Address")]
[string]$Cluster,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="Old Node name")]
[string]$OldNodeName,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage="New Node name")]
[string]$NewNodeName
)
# connect to controller
Connect-WfaCluster $Cluster
# rename the aggregate
Get-WFALogger -Info -message $("Renaming node '" + $OldNodeName + "' with new name of '" + $NewNodeName + "' on Cluster '" + $Cluster + "'")
Rename-NcNode -Name $OldNodeName -NewName $NewNodeName -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop
