I have been using the cmdlet Get-NaCIFSShareAcl to extract and save the permissions for the CIFS shares on a filer running 7.3.6, that filer has now been upgraded to 8.0.2P3 and it seems that the underlying API that this cmdlet uses is not available yet in the 8.x versions of OnTAP.
Is there a workaround ?
I had been capturing the Shares and their permissions so that they could be recreated against the snapmirrored volumes at our BC/DR site when both testing our apps (VMware SRM) or in the case of a real failover.
It has been said that we should be using vFilers to do this but I do not believe we have the appropriate licences to do so and I am not sure they would work in the SRM Test-bubble scenario in any case.
Any suggestions considered

Hi, Glen. One workaround, albeit an inconvenient one, is to send a CLI command using Invoke-NaSsh. The missing APIs return in Data ONTAP 8.1.
PS> Invoke-NaSsh cifs shares

As stated, not convenient but as we will not be going to 8.1 in the near future I'll try this approach. Thanks.
