One-Liner Function to Convert ONTAPI to DataONTAP PowerShell Cmdlet

I’ve done similar things (to the titular task) in the past, but not as a one-liner before. I like one liners!

This one liner can be used to convert the ONTAPI for a Clustershell Command into the PowerShell cmdlet:

Function Get-NcPS{Param([String]$I);Foreach($N in Get-NcHelp){[System.Array]$N.Api|Foreach{If($_.count -gt 0){If($_.contains($I)){$N}}}}}

Here’s an example of it in use. I wanted to find out if there is a Cmdlet in the DataONTAP PowerShell Toolkit that does the same as the Clustershell “security audit log show”. Alas there is not.

cluster1::> set d

cluster1::*> show-ontapi -command "storage aggregate show"

  (security login role show-ontapi)

ONTAPI                      Command

--------------------------- ----------------------

aggr-get-filer-info         storage aggregate show

aggr-get-iter               storage aggregate show

aggr-options-list-info      storage aggregate show

aggr-verify-list-info       storage aggregate show

cluster1::*> show-ontapi -command "security audit log show"

  (security login role show-ontapi)

ONTAPI                      Command

--------------------------- -----------------------

audit-log-get               security audit log show

audit-log-get-iter          security audit log show
