Hi all,
I have been using the new version of PSTK 9.14.1 for a few days because I thought the previous bugs had been fixed.
But I will still have to use the switch "-ONTAPI" when connecting to the Netapp Cluster to get correct values.
Example:
CMDLET get-nccifsshare
Some wrong or no values are returned if the connection to the cluster is established without the ONTAPI switch and REST-API queries are used:

In Addition I checked the return values of a direct REST-API call with System Mananger:
Here the important value of vscan_profile is correctly "no_scan" other than "standard". It means, the cluster is delivering the correct values to the REST-API call:
"name": "volume1",
"uuid": "028baa66-41bd-11e9-81d5-00a0986138f7"
},
"vscan_profile": "no_scan"
}
Kind regards

Solved! See The Solution
Hello Holger,
Please send us the debug logs using Set-NatoolkitConfiguration debug command it will help us to understand the problem. Kindly drop a mail on ng-ontap-pstk-queries
Hi,
Can you please provide us the debug logs of the same, this will help us to understand the issue more efficiently.
You can enable the debug logs using Set-NatoolkitConfiguration debug command.
I'll try this. But I do not publish it here. Can I open a technical case for that?
I tried this.
Here is some output without confidential data (CLI-command with % char to blank names):
It's strange that NetApp.Ontapi.OntapiUtils is mentioned here.
Kind regards,
Holger

Hello @saharsh
Can you please explain why, since this is a "community", that this "accepted solution" was taken offline and not shown here??
I'm using PSTK 9.15, and clearly, this stuff is STILL broken. Trying to run Add-NcCifsShare with the parameters that are clearly defined in 'get-help' as " This parameter is supported with Rest only", and NONE of them are set, and they fail SILENTLY. I found another thread here that was years-old where the OP described essentially the same thing when running PSTK 9.12, and the solution was to downgrade PSTK. That's not a solution. Or is the doco for this kit what's broken, in that it tells users to do things that are clearly broken. When I attempted first to use the -ShareProperties parameter, I received the error "Add-NcCifsShare: ShareProperties parameter specified, which is not supported for REST call". Ok, then I'll use the parameters defined in 'get-help' as "This parameter is supported with Rest only". They all fail miserably, and silently. -Oplocks, -ChangeNotify, -ShowSnapshot. Every one is a big, fat NOPE. I then tried to use Connect-NcController with the -ApplicationName to ONTAPI or HTTPS to try the -ShareProperties parameter, yet still receive the RestApi error. What gives?
