Automate Lun Serial change after head swap or nvram change using Powershell Toolkit

[dlmaldonado]

This is a powershell script which automates the process of reverting a filers lun serial numbers after a head upgrade or a NVRAM change. Requires Data ONTAP Powershell Toolkit.

After the files are generated, put the files somewhere in the filers /etc directory and use the DataONTAP "source" command to call them when it's time.

Based on Romeo Theriault's .pl script: https://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-2369

Which was based on Karel Verhelst's .vbs script: https://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-1754

Run this script ahead of time against the filers you will be upgrading.

For each filer you run it against it will create three files:

   filername_lunoffline

   filername_lunserial

   filername_lunonline

It will output these files in same directory as the script is executed.

It will check if these files exist before creating new ones and will delete them if they do exist.

Place these three files somewhere in the /etc directory of the root vol of the filer and after the head upgrade, use the filers source command to run the files.

   Example:

   source /etc/scripts/filername_lunoffline

   source /etc/scripts/filername_lunserial

   source /etc/scripts/filername_lunonline

Version 2 - Uses the .NET AppendAllText method of the System.IO.File class to produce output files with "LF" (Unix-type) Line Feed line breaks. (Instead of CR + LF (Windows-type) Carriage Return + Line Feed breaks.)
