Automate Creation of New V-Servers with Powershell with ls mirrors

[#1]

I have been working on some scripts to allow the rapid creation of vservers where we can also create ls mirrors on all nodes.

Here is what I have come up with so far.

I have set this up using a text file with one or more vservers to create first line is required.

name,RootVolumeSecurityStyle,rootvolumeaggregate,NameServerSwitch,NameMappingSwitch,Language,Create_ls

vs01_vmware_de,ntfs,n1_aggr1,file,file,en_us.utf_8,true

vs02_nfs_de,ntfs,n2_aggr2,file,file,en_us.utf_8,true

# The script assumes import-module dataontap ; connect-nccontroller mycluster

$vservers = import-csv vservers.csv

$vservers | foreach {

new-ncvserver -name $_.name -RootVolume $($_.name+"_root") -RootVolumeAggregate $_.rootvolumeaggregate -NameServerSwitch $_.NameServerSwitch -RootVolumeSecurityStyle $_.RootVolumeSecurityStyle -NameMappingSwitch $_.NameMappingSwitch -Language $_.Language

}

#Query the Cluster and look for aggr1 to add the ls mirror to that aggreagate

$q = Get-NcAggr -Template

$q.Name = "*aggr1*"

#Loop through the vservers

#Loop through the aggregates queried

#Append _ls to the Name of the root volume

#remove dashes in the name

# I static set the volume size to 100m

$vservers | foreach {

if ($_.Create_ls -eq $true){

foreach ($ag in (Get-NcAggr -Query $q).name){

$lsvs = $_.name + "_" + (Get-NcAggr $ag).nodes.replace("-","_") + "_LS"

new-ncvol -Name $lsvs -Size 100m -Type dp -Aggregate $ag  -JunctionPath $null -VserverContext $_.name | out-null

New-NcSnapmirror -Source ("//" + $_.name + "/" + $($_.name+"_root")) -Destination ("//" + $_.name + "/" + $lsvs)  -Type LS |Set-NcSnapmirror -Schedule 5min |out-null

}

# After all mirrors have been added initialize the mirrors

Invoke-NcSnapmirrorLsInitialize ("//" + $_.name + "/" + $($_.name+"_root"))

}}

Enjoy,

John
