powershell toolkit 9.13 1.2306 get-NcQuota is not working correctly for all volumes

[silvassy]

hello all, while trying to do some data collection I stumbled into get-NcQuota not working.

Researching here I found a few ways to use the old zapi style call which works fine, but for ongoing what might be the issue with the REST Api call that is breaking?  and will it be fixed?

I have anonymized the details, but I have many volumes where the rest type call that will ether show 0-3 replies then give  the error below.  I have a select few volumes where the output is as expected for REST (which is not good, but at least something)

"Get-NcQuota: The input string '-' was not in a correct format."

details:  cli output, then powershell with REST, then powershell with zapi

I did some testing using just RESTapi calls via swaggerUI and for the same volume that works there, but the toolkit using REST fails.

what is the path to get this corrected?

Hi Silvassy, Could you please share the debug logs for both ZAPI and REST using the 'Set-Natoolkitconfiguration debug' command? Providing this information will help us gain a deeper insight into the problem. -Saharsh

Hi silvassy, We are able to identify the issue, we will address and resolve this in the upcoming 9.15.1 PSTK release. Thanks, Saharsh

Is there any public bug tracker for these issues?

I am running into many issues with the rest based calls and it would be good to know if they are known bugs or not.

Also it does not seem like the rest calls are  fully equivalent for everyday use yet.  and are even slower than the zapi based calls.
