Powershell Close-NcCifsSessionFile not accepting value from Get-NcCifsSessionFile

[OZWALKERZ]

Hi Folk,

I'm trying to automate the closing/removing of CIFS file locks, and I'm running into problems with datat ypes.

In particular, I do a Get-NcCifsSessionFile which gives me a set of CIFSSessionFile objects, but when I try to pass the SessionID from one of those objects to the Close-NcCifsSessionFile it tells me value is too large for an INT64 (the close session applet is expecting an INT64, but the Get is returning a Decimal)

My code is essentially:

$SearchPath = "*CBR1PSCM01 TSM errors.xlsx" 

# get a list of files open on cluster
$CIFSSessionFileTemplate = Get-NcCifsSessionFile -Template
$CIFSSessionFileTemplate.Path = $SearchPath
$Files = Get-NcCifsSessionFile -Query $CIFSSessionFileTemplate


foreach ($f in $FileList)
    {
    Close-NcCifsSessionFile -Node $f.Node  -FileId $f.FileId -SessionId $f.SessionId -ConnectionId $f.ConnectionId 
    }

It I look at the type of the SessionId, it's decimal, and from what I see it IS too long for an INT64

#24 PS3 H:\> $f.SessionId.GetType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType 
-------- -------- ----                                     -------- 
True     True     Decimal                                  System.ValueType    

#23 PS3 H:\> Close-NcCifsSessionFile -Node $f.Node  -FileId $f.FileId -SessionId $f.SessionId -ConnectionId $f.ConnectionId 
Close-NcCifsSessionFile : Cannot bind parameter 'SessionId'. Cannot convert value "14120473681666951262" to type "System.Int64". Error: "Value was either too large or too small for an Int64."

I think this was working on an earlier version of OnTap, but it's not working with 9.2P1

NAS:     ONTAP 9.2P1

Toolkit:  V4.4  (DataONTAP module is 4.2.0)

PowerShell: 5.1

Is this a problem with the module?

(I'd be happy to know if there's another way to do it also!)

Cheers,

Stuart

Hello @OZWALKERZ,

Why not just pipe the object into Close-NcCifsSessionFile?

Get-NcCifsSessionFile -Query @{ Path = $SearchPath } | Close-NcCifsSessionFile -Confirm:$false

Hope that helps!

Good thought, but no.

I had already tried

Close-NcCifsSessionFile $f

with no luck, so I tried

$f | Close-NcCifsSessionFile

and they both get the same error that your suggestion got above

My guess is that the  Close-NcCifsSessionFile is expecting an INT value for the SessionId, but the Get-NcCifsSessionFile is returning a  Decimal - perhaps the get applet was updated to return a decimal, but the close applet wasn't updated to accept it?

Interesting, I had (successfully) tested the pipe method with ONTAP 9.1, but don't readily have a 9.2 system available.  I'll see if I can get something deployed and tested in the near future.

I suspect this may be a bug either in the PowerShell module or ZAPI itself.

[OZWALKERZ]

Thanks Andrew!

I had also thought it might be bug 🙂

Is there a method for raising a bug for the PowerShell module, or the API? (Or does that have to come from you guys?)

Cheers,

Stuart

Not sure if there is a way for someone external to directly create a bug, but I can take care of it.

Happy to send you some stickers for a "bug bounty", just PM me your mailing address!

Andrew

[OZWALKERZ]

Thanks Andrew!

Would the bug be visible to customers?  (If it's been created that is..)

I'd be interested in 'following' it 

Cheers,

I Just tried NetApp PowerShell Toolkit  V4.6 (on 9.2P3) and it's still complaining about not being able to convert to a INT64

Close-NcCifsSessionFile : Cannot bind parameter 'SessionId'. Cannot convert value 
"10342516544256614983" to type "System.Int64". Error: "Value was either too large or too small 
for an Int64."

The bug (1142906) is still open

Hi Guys,

(nearly) one year later and  I encountered the same bug .

I installed PSTK 4.6.0.

Any progess in this direction, maybe a new PSTK?

Hi folks,

I found a difference between a FAS2554HA and a FAS8040HA, both running Ontap 9.3P5.

On the smaller filer I could close a file with close-nccifssessionfile.

A typical SessionID is 394064967395194693 (18 digits)

On the bigger filer I got the SessionID-to-big-for-int64 error.

A typical SessionID is 16416183591719928754 (20 digits).

This might give a hint what goes wrong, but doesnt allow for a workaround. 

close-nccifssessionfile uses the wrong type:

PS> [Int64] 16416183591719928754
Cannot convert value "16416183591719928754" to type "System.Int64". Error: "Value was either too large or too small for an Int64."

Hitting this same bug.

Any fix in sight?

[Raoul_Schaffner]

Hitting the same bug with PSTK 4.3 on Windows Server 2012 R2 against ONTAP 9.6P5.

[Raoul_Schaffner]

Just checked: The bug is fixed in the recently released PSTK 9.7.1, maybe even earlier.

Cheers to all!
