help with Remove-NSInitiatorFromGroup

[uslacker99]

I'm having some issues running Remove-NSInitiatorFromGroup.

If I just import-module Nimble, I don't have the Remove-NSInitiatorFromGroup function available. if i run
". C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Nimble\Initiator.ps1", I can run it, but I get:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> remove-NSInitiatorGroupfromVolume -Initiator AliGranite -Volume milo
remove-NSInitiatorGroupfromVolume : Connect to unit first!
At line:1 char:1

• remove-NSInitiatorGroupfromVolume -Initiator AliGranite -Volume milo

• - CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
  - FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Remove-NSInitiatorGroupFromVolume
  
  

With get-command, I see:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-command remove*
CommandType Name ModuleName

---

Function Remove-NSInitiatorFromGroup
Function Remove-NSInitiatorFromGroup Nimble
Function Remove-NSInitiatorGroup
Function Remove-NSInitiatorGroup Nimble
Function Remove-NSInitiatorGroupFromVolume
Function Remove-NSSnapShot Nimble
Function Remove-NSVolume Nimble

Did Remove-NSInitiatorGroupFromVolume just not make it into the Nimble volume?

Thanks!

I really need to build up some directions around this, but, I also need to build up a test that would cover all actions.

What version are you running of the module and firmware?

I see it on the list you have there? when you do the Get-Command there is a -Module option, where you can tell it to only show items from the Nimble module

Also when you run it directly like that it wont ever be able to see the connection, since the connection object is stored internal to the module.

Thanks for the quick response.

The version of the module I'm using is 1.1.20140407.1024. The array version is 2.0.7.0-66112-opt.

Thanks!

Remove-NSInitiatorFromGroup will remove an IQN from an Initiator Group.
Remove-NSInitiatorGroupFromVolume will remove the Initiator Group from a Volume.

Both require you to connect to the Nimble first, using Connect-NSArray

I understand. It just appears that Remove-NSInitiatorGroupFromVolume is not available after I load the module. It is available if I source the initialize.ps1 file, but it doesn't seem to load with the module. :(

Open Nimble.psd1 (should be in the \Module\Nimble folder)

See if FunctionsToExport includes Remove-NSInitiatorFromGroup

When I added that function to the Module and pushed/pulled/whatever-github-calls-it I forgot to include an update to the psd1 file...

If Remove-... isn't there, you can add it and save the file. After that closing and re-opening PowerShell should fix it. If not, unload/reload the module.

I tried to update the psd1 on GitHub after I figured out it was missing, but it doesn't seem to have worked...

(I apologize if my earlier comment was patronizing, I wasn't sure which function you were talking about because this thread is named after one, but you were asking about the other...)
