WFA - Get Finder result in "Return Parameters"

Hello,

 

Is there any possible way to get the Finder Results in Return Parameters.

An example:

- I am selecting a Resource Pool From OnCommand Unified Manager which has a list of Aggregates. and the volumes is created on one of the aggr based on the Finder results.

how it is possible to know which aggregate has been chosen for a volume, so i can later send it over an email.

 

Second connected question:

- i would also like to mention the LIF from aggr's home node in an email, so that NFS exports can be performed form the Home Node of a volume.

 

All these is selected by Filter and we are not allowing operatos to select aggr or node manually.

 

Thanks,

Sheel

Hi Sheel,

          IIRC, you can get the volumes hosting aggr by volumevariable.aggregate.name

I also think you should be able to do it similarly for lifs as well.

Hello Adai,

 

Thanks for the Reply, but i might be doing something wrong in this case.

i tried the following two but did tn worked.

 

 '(volume1.name).aggregrate.name'

 volume1.aggregrate.name

 

do you have any examples?

Hi Sheel,

                      Here is an example from my workflow. 

findVolume is a command definition variable of a No-Op Command that runs a finder to get a volume.

Others are just parameters/attributes of the volume dictionary item. BTW this is for cluster data ontap.

Thanks Adai,

 

Works for me, but still looking for a possibility to get the LIF's associated with a Node on which an volume is created.

The volume is created in an aggregate which belongs to a node inside a specific vserver.

 

When you create the volume, you probably have a vserver and an aggregate dropdown. With SQL on a new variable like $home_node_data_lif amd previously having a NFS LIF naming convention of vserver_name_nfs_lif1 for node1. vserver_name_nfs_lif2 for node2 , etc, you could do SQL on the variable level with this query:

 

SELECT
*
FROM
cm_storage.logical_interface
WHERE
protocols LIKE '%nfs%'
AND
name LIKE '${VserverName}_nfs_lif1'
