How to get Volume Type using Powershell Toolkit

From the OnTap CLI, I can run this command to find out my volume type (it will be either RW or DP (for data protection)):

vol show -vserver VserverName -volume VolumeName -fields vserver,volume,state,type

 

vserver  volume   state  type

-------- -------- ------ ----

VserverName VolumeName online RW

 

 

I’d think that the Get-NcVol command should be able to retrieve that data, but that doesn’t seem to be the case:

 

PS E:\Powershell> Get-NcVol -Name $Mnemonic* -VServer VserverName | Select NcController,Vserver,Name,State,Type

 

 

NcController : ControllerName

Vserver      : VserverName

Name         : VolumeName

State        : online

Type         :  

 

 

The Type just comes back blank.  I think because it’s not actually an available Property of the volume.

 

PS E:\Powershell> Get-NcVol | Get-Member -MemberType Properties

 

 

   TypeName: DataONTAP.C.Types.Volume.VolumeAttributes

Does anyone know any other tricks to pull that info back through Powershell?
Other than using the Invoke-NcSsh command that is… the return data from that is such a pain to deal with.

Just to expand on what @mbeattie posted a bit, you can get the same info as the CLI using this bit of script:

 

Get-NcVol | Select Vserver,Name,State,@{ 'Name' = 'Type'; 'Expression' = { $_.VolumeIdAttributes.Type } }

Hope that helps.

Hi Jim,

 

Are these the droids you are looking for?

 

PS C:\> Import-Module DataONTAP
PS C:\> $credentials = Get-Credential -Credential admin
PS C:\> Connect-NcController -Name cluster1 -HTTPS -Credential $credentials | Out-Null
PS C:\> $volume = Get-NcVol -Vserver vserver1 -Name "volume1"
PS C:\> $volume.VolumeIdAttributes.Type
rw

Yes, those are indeed the droids I was looking for!  Thank you so much!

I did mark asulliva's follow-up as the accepted solution though, because he answered my follow-up question before I asked it 🙂  I was trying to figure out how to display those attributes along with the others, and that worked quite nicely.

Thanks everyone for your help!

How can i set security style ?

esxi

i know its VolumeSecurityAttributes but then how to get the dump for all volues is not clear

JimRobertson

For setting the security style, this worked for me:

 

$volume.VolumeSecurityAttributes.Sytle = "unix"

 



To get a list of the security type of all volumes:

Get-NcVol | Select Vserver,Name,State,@{ 'Name' = 'Type'; 'Expression' = { $_.VolumeSecurityAttributes.Type } }

With Powershell command , It does not list Security style I am getting type as blank

 

Get-NcVol | Select Vserver,Name,State,@{ 'Name' = 'Type'; 'Expression' = { $_.VolumeSecurityAttributes.Type } }

Not sure if this changed at some point or what, but the property is actually Style, not Type.  So, try this:

Get-NcVol | Select Vserver,Name,State,@{ 'Name' = 'Style'; 'Expression' = { $_.VolumeSecurityAttributes.Style } }

Also, for future troubleshooting, you can list out all the properties of an item and their values  like this:

$Vol = Get-NcVol VolName
$Vol.VolumeSecurityAttributes | Select-Object -Property *
