Error When creating Flexclone through PS

brandon_hilyer · ‎2010-10-21

$Filer = "netappfiler2"
$narootpasswd = "randompass"
################################

$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "randompass" -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "root",$password
Connect-NaController netappfiler2 -Credential $Cred

New-NaVolClone -ParentVolume /vol/aspdbdtvdr2 -CloneVolume /vol/eqxdbdr01_newb -Controller $Filer

the error I receive, its seems the controller connects but something else is going

New-NaVolClone : Incorrect credentials for netappfiler2.

Hello, Brandon. The value of $Filer in your code is just a string, which isn't what the -Controller argument of Toolkit cmdlets expects. See this post for examples.

Try something more like this:

$FilerName = "netappfiler2"
$narootpasswd = "randompass"
################################

$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "randompass" -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "root",$password
$Filer = Connect-NaController $FilerName -Credential $Cred

New-NaVolClone -ParentVolume /vol/aspdbdtvdr2 -CloneVolume /vol/eqxdbdr01_newb -Controller $Filer
