What you need to know before using this script

Don't forget to install the PowerShell NetAPP DataONTAP Module.

Quota is only about DiskLimit on Qtree. Other kind of quota might come later if you need so (please ask).

You must have PowerShell 3.0

I've added strong check against bad Qtree name (escape or special char)

Every Button and forms are enabled depending on the validation process to avoid any mistake

I can't warranty anything for sure. But I'm using it every day and it's working perfectly

Don't forget to update both lines with your infos

$all_ctrl = @("CtrlNetAPP1","CtrlNetAPP2","CtrlNetAPP3","CtrlNetAPP4")

$narootpasswd = "your_root_password"

I'm opened to any advices, bug fixes or suggestions.

If you like it, please share and recommand. Thanks appreciated

Damned, I'm looking good

You must provide a value expression on the right-hand side of the '-' operator.

At C:\NetAPP_QQ_Manager.ps1:64 char:34

+         if(([int][char]$lettre) - <<<< notin $goodChar) {

    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParseException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression

Got this error when running ,It seem your "if condition have wrong expression" ?

[naulxk209]

found should replaced with -NotContains

[naulxk209]

Why i replaced the string $all_ctrl = @("NAC01","NAC02")

In the GUI controller box, dropdown list dont have any NAC01 or NAC02 in the list ?

[naulxk209]

sorry, its the # comment have to delete off.

Hello,

replaced the "notin" with "notcontains" on lines 64 and 84, uncommented the $all_ctrl and $narootpassword

Can see controllers but not volumes

Got error

Exception calling "AddRange" with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: items"

At C:\install\netapp\Quota_PowerShell\NetAPP_QQ_Manager.ps1:294 char:34

+     $CmB_Qtree_Vol.Items.AddRange <<<< ((Get-NaVol).Name)

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException

Any chance this tool can work with vFilers? (Maybe it does - but I got the same error for both filers and vFilers)

Thanks

HI Communities members,

Same issue.

The Volume list is empty

My netApp version: NetApp Release 8.1P3 7-Mode: Sat Aug 18 02:52:06 PDT 2012

how used the pff file?

Regards.

[lagenevoise]

Check GET-PSSnapIn

Working fine

BTW new error:

Au caractère C:\DSL\Download\NetApp\NetAPP_QQ_Manager.ps1\NetAPP_QQ_Manager.ps1:646 : 5
+     $MyReportarray.AddRange($QuotaReport)
+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ArgumentNullException

[museedulouvre]

Maybe an unexpected error when no qtree or quota exists... I'll check that

[museedulouvre]

pff file can be opened by "PrimalForms Community Edition" which help me buidling the GUI. Fantastic tool.

[guillaume_aime]

work perfecly with a filer but not with a vfiler in our structure

[CASPERMAN]

Can you identify what makes this require PoSh v3?  What breaks if I use PoSh v2?

[SRIVASTAVA_ABHI]

I'm getting volume list empty... also, appreciate if we could get this working with vfilers.
