Volume Efficiency auto-state setting with PowerShell?

[JimRobertson]

There is a field in the volume efficiencies called "auto-state" that does not seem to be accessible using standard PowerShell commands (Get-NcSis or Get-NcVolume). From the CLI, it is only visable in diag mode. Does anyone know any way to pull this information using PowerShell, other than using Invoke-NcSSH?

This is the command to view it in the CLI (while in diag):

vol efficiency show -volume vol1 -fields auto-state

I'm asking because we have workflows in WFA that are failing when we try to set the efficiencies on volumes that have been "deprioritized".

Hello Jim,

There is a Netapp efficiency check script that is supported by this community
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/NetAppEfficiencyCheck/1.4

I am not sure if the "auto-state" attribute is listed among the outputs in the latest version 1.4.

I hope this leads you in the right direction

auto-state will show if a volume is deprioritized, only available in diagnostic mode so have to get it through SSH

Please check the below lib for "auto-state"

Hi Jim,

Here's an example of using the ONTAP REST CLI. You can either use ZAPI or REST API to invoke a CLI command. The following link has examples of both (you would just have to change the command in the example)

Hope that helps
