Get-NcEfficiency vs Restricted volumes

[PHILIPALBERT]

Hi,

I noticed that when I have a restricted volume the cmd Get-NcEfficiency fails.

PS Prompt> Get-NcEfficiency

Get-NcEfficiency : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At line:1 char:17
+ Get-NcEfficiency <<<<
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (liauc94:NcController) [Get-NcEfficiency], NullReferenceException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ApiException,DataONTAP.C.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Toolkit.Efficiency.GetNcEfficiency

Is this a normal behavior?

Thanks

Well, the same behavior happens to me...so I would say it is "normal".  Is it the intended or desired result, probably not : )

I'll open a bug for this...thanks for pointing it out!

I was just wondering if I was the only one having that issue.

Thanks!

Was there ever a bug filed for this?  I there an existing work around in place?  When  i try to run Get-NCEffiicnecy i get the same results, unsure if its a bug within the toolkit or something within my code.

$cdot_aggregates = Get-NcAggr | ?{ $_.Name -notlike "*root" }

Hello @Alcazar,

This was created as bug id 986240.

You could exclude the root aggregates and get only online aggregates using this query...

Get-NcAggr -Query @{ AggrRaidAttributes = @{ IsRootAggregate = $false; State = "online" } }

Likewise, the same works for volumes to return only non-system volumes...

Get-NcVol -Query @{ VolumeStateAttributes = @{ IsVserverRoot = $false; IsNodeRoot = $false; State = "online" } }

Which should eliminate the issue of returning aggregates which the Get-NcEfficiency cmdlet can't operate against.

Hope that helps.

Andrew
