After Connect-NaController, how can I recall to which filer/vfiler my session is established?

[pierrek]

Hi All,

When working interactively with the powershell toolkit, after a session has been established to a filer or a vfiler (tunneling) with Connect-NaController, is there an easy way (cmdlet,?) I can invoke later during my PS session to show the execution context of the commands I am typing?

I hope my question makes sense

Kind regards

Pierre

Hello, Pierre.  Unless you use the -Transient switch, Connect-NaController stores the connection context in a global variable, CurrentNaController.

PS C:\> Connect-NaController dunn

PS C:\> $global:CurrentNaController

Thanks Clinton,

This toolkit is great, we're currently testing it at a customer site for vfiler management and really it is filling a gap.

Kind regards
