Error creating new vserver with subtype dp-destination

[MadSANMan]

When I try and create a vserver using the New-NcVserver command with subtype dp-destination, it prompts me for the root volume information as shown in the first snippet of text below. But then it tells me I can't supply anything other then the vserver name, comment and ipspace. If I supply the root volume information with the command, I get the same error. If I leave the prompts to the root volume information blank as shown in the second snippet, it comes back with a different error. The command appears schizophrenic. Any ideas what's going on?

Hello @MadSANMan,

This appears to be a bug in the ONTAP PowerShell module.  The API docs state that root volume is required for all sub-types except dp-destination, so while PSTK has it as a required parameter, it shouldn't be for this sub-type.

I'll file a bug, thanks for finding this!  I'm happy to pay you with stickers if you're willing to PM me your address : )

January 2018 and I seem to be having the same issue.

I have only recently installed the Pwoershell tools, so I assume it should be the most recent version.. 4.3.0 April 2017. 

I'll check for a more recent version

Ok, found 4.5.0 so Ill give that a try
