you can do it a little differently and you aren't creating a credential object.  You should do that ## Define Global PWD $password = read-host "Enter Root password" -assecurestring #$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "*" -AsPlainText -Force $cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "root",$password And dont' have to connect directly to the vfiler to get the volumes, you can connect to the filer and use where-object to filter for your vfiler $nacontroller = connect-nacontroller -name $netapp -cred $cred get-navol | ? {$_.vfiler -eq "$vfiler"} Do a search, i have posted an excel dashboard that should dump this out ...

20 would be my absolute top with 3TB drives.  You are burning 2 drives.. hence other 2 are for spares. Rebuild time would be 27+hrs.   Tread lightly with larger drives, that's all i'm saying.. ... View more

Kathy, It all depends on your need.  Do you need to grow your current aggregate.  Can you easily migrate volumes to another aggregate. As the drives get larger, i always get a little leary on having such big raid groups with sata disks.  I've been burned when i lost a 40TB aggr with rg 20 disks on a triple disk failure due to the moos drive issue a few years back. Also, do the drives right size down when you mix and match? I think they do. I vote for new aggregate with smaller rg's. But, I tend to be more risk adverse ... View more

Jeremy, Ok, I back tracked a little.. I rebooted the server, reimported the module, and then I was prompted with snapcreator module not loaded properly.  So I downloaded the 4.1 toolkit and installed that. Now, i'm getting prompted with the following error An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://WFAserver:8080/services/v1/EngineService/. This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server. Now, quick question, since this is our lab environment, snapcreator server is running on the WFA server as well, just a different port.  IIs that ok? ... View more

thanks.. a reboot fixed this and i confirmed a path is there .. This all happened since i tried to install snapcreator for wfa.  I'm failing miserably.  I have another thread on that.. I will try to update that... ... View more

Ok, here is from the WFA log -  There's much more, but this is the gyst.  I've replaced the ip with 1.1.1.1.  Now just to confirm, when i created the datasource, I put the admin/password for snapcreator.
