Hi all,

Environment:

I need Create a new lun by CLI.

Command:

naviseccli -h 10.23.33.80 lun -create -type NonThin -capacity 50 -sq gb -poolid 4 -sp A -l 33 -name "HOST- 33"

Error:

Error returned from the target: 10.23.33.80

CLI commands are not supported by the target storage system.

Question:

Why not supported?

Ok, update, but no Work.

Not work. Same error.

Error returned from the target: 10.23.33.80

CLI commands are not supported by the target storage system

I test in Control Station:

-------

/nas/sbin/navicli -h 10.23.33.80 getagent
/nas/sbin/classic_navicli -np -h 10.23.33.80 getagent 2>&1
Error returned from Agent
Agent not running

Could be a Service Stoped?

Are you certain that you are running the command against the SP IP and not the control station IP?

dynamox · Answer

misleading error message. i typically get 'Exception: Invalid server certificate: certificate not trusted.' if i send naviseccli commands to CS.

etaljic81 · Answer

I did that once or twice that's why I asked Glad you got it to work now!

Fabio_Hormigo · Answer

Bingo!

I´m use Control Station IP.

With IP of the SPA the command is correct!

From:

naviseccli -h 10.23.33.80 lun -create -type NonThin -capacity 50 -sq gb -poolid 4 -sp A -l 33 -name "HOST 9 - PROD - DRIVE C - LUN ID - 33"

To:

naviseccli -h 10.23.33.82 lun -create -type NonThin -capacity 50 -sq gb -poolid 4 -sp A -l 33 -name "HOST 9 - PROD - DRIVE C - LUN ID - 33"

Thanks ALL!!
