Netapp Powershell monitoring

Question

I've installed the netapp powershell commands on the Orion server.  The Netapp toolkit can be found here https://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-6138.  I'm able to run the script below in a powershell window directly from the Orion server (replacing solarwinds variable ${IP} with actual filer name) and it runs properly.

Connect-NaController '${ip}'

$VolArray = get-navol | where {($_.name -notcontains ".snapsshot")}

foreach ($vol in $VolArray)

{

$name = $vol.Name

$percent = $vol.Used

# This is important - Solarwinds requires a "Unique identifier" for

# each value returned by a script. The line below creates an

# identifier for each result returned.

Write-Host "Statistic.$name :" $percent

}

Here is the error output in SAM

Through the process of using -Verbose outputs on the failing commands i was able to make this work by using another solarwinds variable

my modified code line that works is:

$connection = Connect-NaController $filername -credential ${Credential}
