First of all, all kudo's go to Olivier Masson. I only contributed minor improvements.
New improvements are :
- NonInteractive Mode
- Intelligent Resource Selection
- Log4Net logging
But Olivier made some awesome improvements as well such as backup / restore and cloning an svm.
When I finally managed to make the script non-interactive, we built a new module (cmdlets such as New-SvmDr, Update-SvmDr, Invoke-SvmDrActivate, ...)
And around the cmdlets, we finally built WFA workflows.
The NonInteractive & Wfa modes assume a symmetric setup (same vlan's & ip's)
But if that doesn't work, you can simply setup the relationship with the CLI (which is interactive) and then continue with WFA. Both work together.
The 2 github links :
Both are well documented and are very much worth a try !
Hey there,
ReplyDeleteI have a quick question for you if you don't mind.
So I'm trying to create a workflow that will populate the volume name off of exisiting varibles that the user defines, such as SVM, Cluster and CIFS name.
For example "ffs_$cluster$svm$cifs"
Have you done this, and if so how did you go about it?
Cheers,
Nick.
the best way is to create a constant and give it value ("ffs_" + $cluster + $svm + $cifs)
Deletethis is an mvel expression. Then use that constant as your volumen name.
Everywhere you can type, you can use mvel (which is a java expression language). you can calculate, concatenate, replace, use if-then-else, ...
