NetApp PowerShell Toolkit 9.12.1.2302 / "New-NcVol" -language parameter broken/not working

[MarcelM]

Hello *,

after upgrading NetApp PSTK to latest version 9.12.1.2302 on our win 2012R2 script host and running some dr scripts i noticed a possible error/bug in "New-NcVol" command.

When using the parameter -language PS runs the new new-ncvol command without any errors but no volume will be created. I tried every possible combination but no volume wil be created. When leaving out the parameter volume will be created but we need to have a different language from svm root volume.

Can anyone confirm the same problem when using -language?

Currently it seems like every version of PSTK has its own big bugs which leaves them nearly unusable.

I ran into the same issue with 9.14. Did you find a solution for this meanwhile?

Hello,
luckily we are still running ONTAP 9.9.1 and 9.10.1 so i force my PS scripts to use NetApp PSTK at version 9.10.1.2111 and this helps us use every command we need without any errors.

Import-Module NetApp.ONTAP -MaximumVersion 9.10.1.2111 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

We did not try to use PSTK 9.14.1 yet - i was looking forward to this version but after your info it seems like every new version still has some errors. When we cant use the language parameter we cant script volume creation... maybe hope for PSTK 9.15.1....

Hi Marcel, could you please share us the debug logs of the command execution, it will help us to identify the issue. You can enable the debug logs using "Set-NaToolkitConfiguration debug" command.

I attached the log using the latest 9.14 Toolkit.

Hello Sahrash

Do you have any news about this issue? Will it get fixed in pstk 9.14 or any other release?

When using the PSTK command, we suggest utilizing the REST method. To troubleshoot the issue, please try removing the -ZapiCall parameter and let us know if the problem persists. In the meantime, attempt to reproduce the issue using ZAPI.
