Invoke-NcSsh failing with ONTAP 9.3

[drwoodberry]

 I have just upgrade a lab controller to 9.3 so I could test some deployment scripts. Part of my scripts issue "Invoke-NcSsh" commands because a commandlet is not working as intended or does not exsist. I had originally thought it was an issue with the 4.4 verion of the powershell toolkit. I upgraded to 4.5 and I am still getting the same error.  See error below:

"Invoke-NcSsh : An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine."

Everything works from 9.0 - 9.2P1, but not in 9.3.

Any help would be great.

Good catch, I can confirm i'm seeing the same thing in 9.3RC1 as well.  I assume when I upgrade our lab to GA, it will be the same thing.

My error is this.

invoke-ncssh : An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.

We are probably just missing a new security setting in 9.3 that needs to be tweaked..

I am hoping that is the case. I am working now to re-write the commands with current cmdlets and a lot of piping.

Curious if anyone else has experienced this and maybe found a work around or a security change that is needed.

Hello everyone,

I verified this behavior yesterday and created a bug for it (1136301).

Please let me know if I can help!

Please post when an update or workaround has been determined.

This would seem to be the same issue currently with 8.2.5 7-mode .... see the following post ...

http://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Cloud-and-Virtualization-Discussions/Invoke-NaSsh-not-working-anymore-with-DOT-8-2-5-7-mode/td-p/133511

There is a workaround code example in the 8.2.5 7-mode thread posted by skellner using Invoke-NaSystemAPI (page 2).  I changed the "Na" to "Nc" and it works without any other modifications.

While this still needs to be fixed obviously - the other post gives more details on the issue and hopefully a stop-gap workaround for most.

If you are affected by this, I suggest to open a support case and ask the support engineer to attach the case to the internal bug 1136301 (mentioned by Andrew). This way the customer impact is more visible to engineering and the issue can be correctly prioritized.

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to let you all know that PowerShell Toolkit 4.5P1 has been released with fixes for the Invoke-NaSsh and Invoke-NcSsh cmdlets.  You can get the new version here.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I will be testing this shortly.
