PowerShell Module

Volume Collection snapshot was added to the new-nssnapshot

also is anyone using this on 2.0.7.0?

I just updated and it seems like it broke the new-nsvolume?

Hey Justin,

Can you add Set-NSVolumeACL?

I've tried to use $acl = Get-NSVolumeACL <vol>

$acl.InitiatorGrp = "<new acl>"

$acl.set

But it doesn't update the properties on the Array. 

It will update the value of the object in PowerShell, can be demonstrated by running $acl before and after the $acl.InitiatorGrp...  Also, $acl.set doesn't throw an error.

I believe Justin already included a way to update the ACL for Nimble Volumes.

Add-NSInitiatorGroupToVolume -InitiatorGroup (String) -Volume (string) -Access Volume

Justin,

I am wanting to update arrays to 2.x, are we safe to utilize the same module?

Right!

Thanks,

[jrich52352]

Its not safe but im working on the module now, because I need it too. I should hopefully have something posted by tomorrow.

I dont know why, but i've stopped getting emails when there are new messages so i apologize about the delays!

i'll have to poke around my profile

Hi Justin

I am trying to replicate the volume collection can it be done? Ive tried doing it but it just creates the volume collection snapshots and does not replicate it.

Ive tried -replicate as a common parameter but doesn't work

New-NSSnapshot -name repl -VolumeCollection xxxxxxxxxxxx -replicate

Thanks

    New-NSSnapshot [-Name] <String> [-VolumeCollection] <String> [-Description
    <Object>] [-Online] [-Writable] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    Takes a new snapshot of a specified volume, allowing you to control if its
    writeable and if its online or not.

I didnt impliment any replication functionality, because I didnt have any way to test it.

I dont work at the same company any more and dont currently have access to any nimble storage to write/test any additions.

I hope to get access to a unit in the not to distant future.

Hi Justin,

I wonder if its as easy as adding another switch like online and writeable in the snap ps script just call it replicate not really sure as I am not a powershell expert so would appreciate any help and I can test it here, might be useful for other users too. At the moment I've written another script using the powershell ssh module but would rather use this method if we can get it working.

Thanks

So, the CommonParameters has to do with cmdletbinding, and its for stuff like -verbose

As far as adding replication, thats not a feature of the snapshot, so it would end up as a separate cmdlet.

its probably not too horrible to write, but without having access to a pair of units, I wouldnt be able to test it.
