Glenn, you can correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe he has to iterate through the objects with a for loop so for example foreach ($route in $routelist) { write-host "destination:"  $route.destination } If you want it as a variable, you need to set it like $var = $route.destination and then if you want to do an if statement it would be if ($var -eq "default") { "put code here" } Hope I didn't confuse you ...

Unless I'm misunderstanding.. I agree with Beam.  There is no audit log on the vfiler.  All logs reside on the controller's /etc$ directory   The get-nasystemlog will query the logs in the etc$ on the filer themself. ... View more

Glenn - Excuse my oversight.. I See that you have piped in $initiators Once I adjusted this line - $Initiators | Add-NaIgroupInitiator -igroup $igroup.name  -Controller $dstcontroller -confirm:$false it's working like a charm.. I did  man on it and saw that it accepts pipeline input. So, what's the technical reason why my code will fail?  Is it because it's an array and the cmdlet doesn't know how to interpret it?  Just curious... ... View more

Ah.. Ok, i'm getting a frustrated as i've looked at your examples, but i'm unable to replicate the initiators... Here is the code extracted and modified a little. $sourcecontroller = Connect-NaController source $dstcontroller = Connect-NaController destination $igroups = Get-NaIgroup -Controller $sourcecontroller ## Loop through existing $igroup info foreach ($Igroup in $igroups) {    if ($Igroup.name -eq "testigroup")    {     #WRite-out command for testing igroup creation"     Write-Host "`nCreating Igroup:" $Igroup.name "On controller" $dstcontroller     Write-Host "--------------------------------------------------------"     New-NaIgroup -Name $Igroup.Name -Type $Igroup.type -protocol $Igroup.protocol -controller $dstcontroller -confirm:$false         ## write-out command for testing adding initiators"     $Initiators = $iGroup.Initiators | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'InitiatorName'      Add-naigroupinitiator -igroup $igroup.name -initiator $Initiators -Controller $dstcontroller -confirm:$false -whatif     Write-Host "`n" } } That will create an igroup without issue but the Add-naigroupinitiator spits up errors at me.  Add-NaIgroupInitiator : Cannot convert 'System.Object[]' to the type 'System.String' required by parameter 'Initiator'. Specified method is not supported. At C:\Powershell\sg colo\igroupcreationAnode.ps1:32 char:55 +     Add-naigroupinitiator -igroup $igroup.name -initiator <<<<  $Initiators -Controller $dstcontroller -confirm:$false -whatif     + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Add-NaIgroupInitiator], ParameterBindingException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgument,DataONTAP.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Igroup.AddNaIgroupInitiator now if i manually just enter one initiator it works.. but it doesn't handle the mutliple initators well.   Also in your code example, I'm not seeing where you add any initiators Your posted code has this. # Add any missing initiators from the source $Initiators = $I.Initiators | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'InitiatorName' $IGroup.Initiators | Where-Object { $Initiators -notContains $_.InitiatorName } | Add-NaIgroupInitiator -Igroup $I.InitiatorGroupName ` -Controller $DestinationController Did I miss something?   Can add-nainitiator not handle multiple initiators.  like add-naigroupinitiator -igroup testigroup -initiator 50:01:43:80:05:67:55:4e,50:01:43:80:05:67:5b:0c -Controller dstcontroller what gives here? ...

Glenn and team: So i'm just playing out with the output a little before the next step, but I have a ?         foreach ($lun in ($LunInfo| where {$_.Name -eq $igroup.Name} | select -ExpandProperty Group)) {                     Write-Host "`t`t`tLUN:" $lun.lunID ":" $lun.path                                 }  I was looking at $luninfo, and i'm not quite sure how you got $lun.lunid and $lun.path.. And the reason I ask is b/c I tried do something like if ($lun.lunid -ne $null) { Write-Host "`t`t`tLUN:" $lun.lunID ":" $lun.path     } else {write-host "No active mappings"} But my results were not what I thought they would be.. all thoughts are well appreciated. thx ...

Glenn - Yuu absolutely rock right now.!!  I loved your note on replicating igroups to another filer b/c that is essentially what I want to do...  I had thoughts of doing it your way but I figured i would be safe and dump to a file and then run another script.. From a reporting standpoint your script kicks butt!.. But if I'm going to replicate everything to another filer, igroups, lunID's, mapping etc, I'm going to need to put it in a little different format.. Where was I going wrong with my original script?  A few ?'s for you.  I see you ran -Group Name for this line - $LunInfo = Get-NaLun -Terse | where-object {$_.path -notlike "*sv*"} | Get-NaLunMap | Group-Object Name   I'm just curious as to why you did grouping by name?  is that so it truncates the initiators?  Also, when you use select-object, I understand expandproperty - but -join does what?  Also, i'm not quite sure what you're doing with this - Write-Host ("`t`t`t  {0:0}      {1}" -f $lun.lunid, $lun.path) what's {0:0}     {1} and -f   I did a man on write-host but it didn't lead me to it.. Also, since you are the expert, and I need to replicate this entire configuration, I was going to try to dump it to a file and then read through the file to build the scripts I need for our DR filer.  Is that totally off base? Thanks in advance.. ... View more

Yeah.. i went through that as well.. Your code still prodocues my same problem Name   LunID Initiators ----   ----- ---------- igroupname 11    {50:01:43:80:05:67:55:4e, 50:01:43:80:05:67:5b:0c, 50:01:43:80:05:67:5a:e4, 50:01:43:80:05:67:55:54...} The reason I need to do all this is b/c i need to setup an exact same filer with igroups and lun mappings for DR.. it's a long story.. but i thought i was on easy streat until i noticed the initiators truncated I'm taking the output of these commands and i'm parsing through the output to do eventually create a command new-naigroup -name $name -protocol $protocl -type $type I can pretty much get to dthat, it's all the rest of the automation that's coming along. ... View more

Hmm.. Ok, I have  a fundamental bug in the script which I just caught.. If you have more than 4 initiators in the output gets cut off.. So then i tried to change the following line # $igroup = Get-NaIgroup to     $igroup =  get-naigroup | select Name,type,Protocol -expandproperty Initiators And now my initiators are blank... upon output.. I'm not quite sure why that is happening..  I see them their in $igroup, so why when I try to parse them So, then I realize that we need to change this line    Write-Host "`t`tinitiators: " $i.initiators         $iinitiators = $i.initiators to write-host "`tInitiators: " $i.initatornames       But then it messes up the output.. What im ultimately looking for is for all the initiators to be on the same line separate by a space so then I can work with the output. any guidance or direction would be great. thx ... View more
