Hi there, per the FAQ it shows that linux/mac/android/iOS are not supported platforms. I have a customer asking if MAC will ever be supported in the future?

Hello @RSG,

Support for non-Windows platforms is not currently on the roadmap, but interest in having the toolkit moved to .NET Core (for Linux compatibility) is being tracked.

Please reach out to me internally (my username at netapp.com) for more details.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: missed above reply ><

As the Netapp Powershell Toolkit is dependant on Microsoft PowerShell I am curious when Netapp will be supporting Microsoft Powershell Core.

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell

I don't have macOS or a Linux to try this but has anyone tested PS Core + Netapp PSTK?

Maybe you could have a go at it.

Looks like Microsoft will be pushing hard on the PS core editions to make PS more platform indepentanded, hoping Netapp will follow.

I'm having exactly the same issue you're having. In our standard we do have a doulbe Allow NTFS permissions entry and this sort of "bug" is not allowing me to set permissions they way I want to and need to do it through Windows instead, making it 10 times slower.. Did you sort it by any chance?

Thanks

Hi,

Considering Microsoft are no longer developing Windows PowerShell and are putting all future development efforts into PowerShell Core, I think the question of whether or not the NetApp PowerShell Toolkit needs to be refreshed to work with PowerShell Core is self evident, and the customer want for it doesn't need to be 'tracked'.

It's better to get started now, rather than trying to work with the angry hords banging at the door.

PowerShell Core 6.0 has just been released RTM (Early Jan 2018) and VMware has surpassed the v1.0 milestone for their PowerCLI Core release - https://labs.vmware.com/flings/powercli-core

I'm looking forward to being able to begin migrating my lab build code which uses Windows, VMware and NetApp PowerShell modules to PowerShell Core in the future. The NetApp Toolkit is now the last piece of the puzzle.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Steve.

Is there any intent to publish the toolkit via Powershell-Get - either on a public repository or a privately hosted one?

I am extremely interested in seeing this on Powershell Core as Linux is the only viable means for me to execute powershell scripts against my customer's environments.

Hello @duggulaxmi,

There is a blog post here which may help.  Also, a number of other NetApp PowerShell 101 posts here.

Hope that helps.
