Error running .msi installer for toolkit: NetApp_Powershell_toolkit_4.3.0 

"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing package. This may indicate problem with package. The error code is 2738" 

I've download several times with same results.

Any clues?

Hello @Ssmartodd,

Do you have any previous versions of the PSTK installed to your system?  If so, try to remove all of them before installing the current version.

Also, I found this article and this one, which may be useful.

Hi Kanan,

Support for PowerShell 2.0 has been withdrawn starting with Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit 3.3. Please update to PowerShell 3.0 or above (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh847837.aspx has instructions for different Windows versions) in order to use the cmdlets.

If you're using a previous version of the toolkit, all cmdlets can be used with PowerShell 2.0 - individual cmdlets are PowerShell version agnostic.

Hope this helps,
Aparajita

[KANNAN_PRAKASH]

Could you help me with the cmdlets which can be used with power shell 2.0

[swe]

Me too can not get to the download page. It responds with 401 - Unauthorized Access.

I have registered with a company email address and supplied SystemID for a NetApp unit.

I am also logged in at the site (or else I would not be able to write this).

Please advice or publish a working download link, or send it as a PM.

Thanks & regards

Hi,

I hope somebody can help with what is probably quite a simple query. I have a FAS3240HA with no CIFS license and would like to use PowershellONTAP. When I try connecting I get an RPC error and from searching online, it appears that I need to run cifs setup to resolve. Is this something I should be able to do without a CIFS license? Or is there another way I can overcome this without running CIFS Setup?

Thanks,

Lee

[Aparajita]

Hello Lee,

Without knowing what the exact RPC error is, it is difficult to suggest a resolution.

But a workaround would be connecting using HTTP/HTTPS (syntax below). 

Connect-NaController <controller name or ip> -HTTPS

Hope this helps!

Hi, i can't download tool...i have "Unauthorized access"...
Can you help me?

[Aparajita]

Were you logged in to your NetApp Support account when you got the "Unauthorized access" error? The toolkit download requires you to be logged in to http://mysupport.netapp.com.

[frhell]

I'm logged into mysupport, but i have always Not authorized...

[JH]

Is you email address yhoo or gmail? If it is NetApp wants a company email address.

[frhell]

I installed the tool kit and when i try to import eh module i get this:

PS C:\> Import-Module DataONTAP
Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly
'file:///C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\DataONTAP\OntapiPS.dll' or one of its dependencies.
Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)

What did I do wrong?

[JIATI0111]

Randy, did you get your PowerShell Toolkit 3.2.1 successfully installed? I got same error whoile loading , even tried providing pull path.  Thanks, Timothy.

[Aparajita]

Hi JIATI0111,

 
I encountered a similar problem once - the culprit turned out to be blocked dll-s. Have you checked if the toolkit's files are blocked? (Right-click on the DLL file PowerShell throws the error for, select properties and see if an "Unblock" option appears. Select that to unblock the file)

 
Do let me know if this helps,
Aparajita

[Aparajita]

Hi Randy,

Can you try importing the module with the full-path (`Import-Module <install-path>\DataONTAP`)?

The default install path is "c:\Program Files(x86)\NetApp\DataONTAP" (or c:\Program Files\NetApp\DataONTAP in case of 32-bit Windows).

Let me know if this doesn't solve the issue.

- Aparajita

[LITTLEREDCAR]

i tried the full path and i get this error message

[LITTLEREDCAR]

Uninstalled/Reinstall .Net 4.5 --> Reinstalled Powershell Module 321.MSI

Thanks
