PowerShell cmdlet for Add/Get NFS repository

[gbgb67]

I'm looking at B&R v10 and the new ability to create NFS repositories. I'm playing with it in my environment, but the NFS repositories don't show up at all when running Get-VBRBackupRepository. Is this a known issue? Any idea when support for NFS repositories will be added to the PS modules? Thanks!

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

It's working fine in my lab. Nothing needs to be added in future versions from my point of view. And just to make sure: you see the NFS repository in the VBR console?

Code: Select all

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "multistorage-nfs"

If you paste your code and the error messages (if any), then maybe someone can help you.

Hi @gbgb67,

Adding to what Hannes stated, Nfs should also be available for Add-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet as well:

Code: Select all

Add-VBRBackupRepository -Type Nfs

With option above you will have the corresponding parameter set specific to Nfs repositories. Check it out in Powershell ISE.

Thanks,
Oleg

Thank you for the responses. I think I just assumed the issue was NFS related because that was what I was testing.

After playing around with it a little bit, it appears to be related to scaled-out repositories.From testing the NFS repo's show up fine, but once I add a repository to a scaled-out repo, it no longer shows up in the results for "Get-VBRBackupRepository" (no error). I'm probably missing something, but is this expected behavior? If so, is there a cmdlet to see repos that are part of a scaled-out repo?

Thanks!

Add the "-ScaleOut" parameter to see the repo itself.

For the SOBR extents, use "Get-VBRRepositoryExtent"
