Hey all - So, I have some questions regarding start-nadiskupdate and start-nashelfupdate. I've written a simple script to copy the firmware files from our http server over to each filer...  #### cls $file = read-host "enter File list" $ftype = read-host "enter file you want to copy" $Hosts = gc $file $Hosts | % { $filer = $_ Write-Host "Copying $ftype to filer" $_ copy-item -path "\\httpserver\c$\home\http\firmware\$ftype" -destination "\\$filer\etc$\software" -force } ### I've also done it this way as well - ## $warningpreference = "SilentlyContinue" #### Reset registry key ## Set credentials $pwd = Read-Host "enter password" cls $password = ConvertTo-SecureString $pwd -AsPlainText -Force $cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "northamerica\jgoldfar",$password $file = read-host "enter File list" $Hosts = gc $file $Hosts | % { #Write-Host Connecting to controller: $_ $c = connect-nacontroller $_ -https -cred $cred Write-Host "Copying All.zip to filer" $_ Invoke-NaSsh -command "software get http://httpserver/firmware/all.zip -f" } ### I prefer option 1.  So, let's say we get the firmware files to the software directory.   Now I wanted to play around with get-nadiskupdate and get-nashelfupdate. I was surprised to know that these cmdlets don't actually do some sort of software install all.zip or all_shelf_fw.zip.   So, when I ran get-nadisk | start-nadiskupdate - I saw in the messages file that all disks are updated.  Obviously, it didn't do a software extract. Am I now forced to go back to connecting via https and issuing the commands via ssh?   I didn't find a powershell cmdlet that will do software install.  Also - as per the man page on start-nadiskupdate - I tried this. PS C:\powershell> start-nadiskupdate start-nadiskupdate : Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value At line:1 char:1 + start-nadiskupdate + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (uswsns015a:NaController) [Start-NaDiskUpdate], ArgumentNullException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ApiException,DataONTAP.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Disk.StartNaDiskUpdate I'm using version 2.1. Thanks all in advance. ... View more

So this is a basic simple question, when using the convertto-formattednumber cmdlet it nicely formats the data into either TB, GB, MB, etc....   I've been looking at the cmdlet and seeing if there is a way to make the output consistent in either all GB or TB, etc.. I've been unsuccessful. What i've done so far, it's ugly, but it's my desired result is something like this.. get-navol | Select Name,Aggregate,@{E={[Math]::round(($_.Totalsize/(1024*1024))/1024,2)};Name = "Total Size (GB)"},@{E={[Math]::round(($_.sizeused/(1024*1024))/1024,2)};N = "Used (GB)"},@{E={[Math]::round(($_.Available/(1024*1024))/1024,2)};N = "Available (GB)"} | Sort Aggregate | ft -autosize The only reason why i'm doing this is quick calculation to excel to figure out free space on the aggrs quickly.. you can just add them up in excel if you pipe to export-csv Just curious if there was an easier way ...

Mad props to Glenn Sizemore for the foundation.... This will give me the output i want to see when i'm looking for igroups and lun mappings.   The important thing here is whether or not your initiator is logged in or not.  That was key for us..  FYI - you can feed a txt file full for filers if you want. Please comment and let me know if we can improve on this. #### Code##### $hosts = @("filer1","filer2") $hosts | % {               Write-Host "`n`tConnecting to Filer: $_"    $filer = $_     Write-Host "`t-------------------------------------------------------"            $c  = Connect-NaController $_               $igroups = Get-NaIgroup               $LunInfo = Get-NaLun -Terse | Get-NaLunMap | Group-Object Name               foreach ($igroup in $igroups) {                   Write-Host "`n`tigroup Name: " $Igroup.Name                   Write-Host "`t`tOS_Type: " $Igroup.type                   Write-Host "`t`tProtocol: "   $Igroup.protocol                   $initiators = $igroup.initiators | Select -expandproperty 'initiatorname'              $initiators | % {                $name = $_                if ($name -ne $null) {                         if ((Confirm-NaLunInitiatorLoggedIn -Initiator $name) -eq $false) {                 Write-Host "`t`t`tInitiator Not logged in: " $name                     }                         else                     {                         Write-Host "`t`t`tInitiator Logged in: " $name                     }                             }                 Else                     {                         Write-Host "`t`t`tNo initiators assigned to Igroup"                     }                 }       # Write-Host "`t`tinitiators: " $(($igroup.initiators|Select-Object -ExpandProperty InitiatorName) -join " ")                   Write-Host "`t`tLuns  --------------------------------------------------" #"# LUN ID   LUN Path"           foreach ($lun in ($LunInfo| where {$_.Name -eq $igroup.Name} | select -ExpandProperty Group)) {                   Write-Host "`t`t`tLUN:" $lun.lunID ":" $lun.path                                }                              }     Write-Host "`n`tEnd of Filer: $filer "    # Close    } ...

So, this is most likely a user error, but i've upgrade to v2.1 ran, show-nahelp and i'm returned with " PS C:\test> show-nahelp WARNING: Could not find help files " So, i figured it was me, I did a complete uninstall of the toolkit (uninstall.ps1) and then I reinstalled it and executed the command again.  Same result.  now I know the files are there b/c i'm browsing to it file:///C:/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/Modules/DataONTAP/webhelp/cmdlets.html what gives?  ...
