I'm just curious if i'm missing something. destination volume is required in both those cmdlets. Well with svm-dr the command on the CLI is snapmirror resync vservername: or snapmirror update vservername: if you try to run invoke-ncsnapmirrorupdate it will fail b/c there is no destination volume, or if you try a volume you will get it's a member of a constituent. I know this must be something simple, Anyone?

Tell them they are wasting cycles. If you have a 7-mode system still, you can setup a quick http server on there, set root, create a share, put it there, and then use it that way, and then turn it off when you are done. That's what we do. We don't have time to explain to mgmt what they do not understand

In the olden days of 7-mode it was nice with http, but it was also easy to just drop image on etc$ either via export or cifs share, BUT with cDOT, in my honest opinion, that goes out of the window. The below is directly from the Netapp Guide. Copy the software image (for example, 91_q_image.tgz) from the NetApp Support Site to the directory on the HTTP or FTP server from which the image will be served.

^^ I'm not doubting what you say. But i've been around PS toolkit since 1.0, and some of my older scripts for 7-mode were so much easier. That's purely my opinion. I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure why they have all the extended attributes, but in my opinion, I should be able to do this. (just an example) get-ncvol | ? {$_.vserverdrproperties -ne "protected"} | update-ncvol "protected" The whole building a command hash table to update seems quirky to me. Again, that's just my opinion. Back in the day when Cliff knight was writing it, we would have correspondence with him, but he told me a while ago he moved on to other roles. Believe me I appreciate all the hard work that went into PS toolkit, but I feel like there has to be improvement. I can write the exact same code you have below, but the point is, for most guys, they want to be able to do traditional PS. That reminds me of Quest AD cmdlets before MS released their own. They just feel quirky to me. I will gladly have a call with you if you would like.

I'm having trouble understanding because we can't see the entire code. I ran you're code and it does work in my lab exactly as you stated. If it's part of a larger script, it all depends on how your variables are defined, whether scoped properly. If you are not willing to share the entire script, than, at least for myself, I cannot assist

I've made this in the past, but i'm hoping we can make some headway on this Feature Request. I've been an active user since PSTK 1.0, and i'm confused as the direction that was taken with cDOT. I'm not a developer, but I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. For example, if we want to query a vserver for volumes that aren't part of drprotection I do something like this C:\powershell> get-ncvol -Vserver vserver1 | select name,@{n='protection';e={$_.VolumeVserverDrProtectionAttributes.vserverdrprotection}} | ? {$_.protection -ne "protected"} That's all well in good, but I should ne able to pass this to an update command, not update-ncvol where we have to build queries to fix this. Am I totally missing something here?

Yeah, i did that, but I'm still having some issues where it's giving me the following error. "Failed to apply the source Vserver configuration. Reason: Apply failed for Object: root_direct_mounts Method: baseline. Reason: Failed to create or determine if a junction exists within volume "vserver_root". Error occurred with the remaining junction path of "/vol/uhome01" for the given path of "/vol/uhome01" Reason: Junction create failed (2)" wierd to me.. b/c I can access the primary volume

To All - I'm just curious how others are solving this problem. Prestaging a new SVM-DR. Migrating a TDP Volume into the primary online SVM, breaking it, so now the volume is r/w on primary. The SVM-DR relationship will not pick up the new volume, even with a break and resync. What is the proper workflow to set this up?

That sounds pretty easy... Just start with get-nchelp. or show-nchelp... There are commands in there that will get you started. But you can also look into OCUM reporting for management as well

Ok, when you downloaded and installed data ontap, when you downloaded it, did you right click properties, and select "unblock". At least at my company I find that i need to do that. If the module is loaded locally, i'm not sure why it is taking this long

You don't need to, It's pre-loaded Open up a PS window and without loading data ontap you should be able to type get-natoolkitversion and see if that comes up

Here was my result Seconds : 1 Milliseconds : 573 Also, with the later versions of dataontap it should be in your psmodulepath so you don't have to import the module. I commented this out in my profile a while ago - #import-module dataontap Type this $env:PSModulePath The output should have this line in there. C:\Program Files (x86)\NetApp\NetApp PowerShell Toolkit\Modules\ The common misnumber has been consistent from the last version as well. I just ignore it for now.

IMHO, if you are creating a mixed protocol share, the permissions should be controlled from within windows. This is standard practice in my mind. If the volume is set to unix security style, than the share will be everyone full and you should be able to browse without issues.

First, let me preface by saying I would wait until P1 is released. The reason I would recommend to go to 8.2.5 is for several reasons. THey tightened up security with SSL and also an option to turn off SMB 1.0. Also, it will be Netapp's last release on the 7mode platform ever. So, this code base 8.2.5. will be the last engineering supported code for the life of 7mode

A 2020 has been eol for a while now. I hope you aren't planning putting that in production. You are talking about a 10yr old system. There is not even support for this and doesn't even allow any code higher than 7.3.7. Are you sure it's a 2020?

I will let you know how I make out with the testing on single-node with the SIM. I'm specifically working with Development on this D patch.

the cluster database was out of qourum continuously. Then once we thought we had it up, we lost one nodes back-end cluster network. We also had to increase vol0, which isn't a big deal. We pushed 9.1 OVA"s 3x, clustered them in the config, and then managed to blow it up each time. Hence, whey I need to keep it on single-node for testing
