NetApp ONTAP As Built Report is a PowerShell module which works in conjunction with AsBuiltReport.Core.

AsBuiltReport is an open-sourced community project which utilises PowerShell to produce as-built documentation in multiple document formats for multiple vendors and technologies.

Please refer to the AsBuiltReport website for more detailed information about this project.

Below are the instructions on how to install, configure and generate a NetApp ONTAP As Built Report

The ONTAP Storage As Built Report supports the following ONTAP versions;

• ONTAP 9.x
  • Tested on v9.5, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9.1, 9.10.1, 9.11.1, 9.12.1, 9.13.1, 9.14.1, 9.15.1

This report is compatible with the following PowerShell versions;

Each of the following modules will be automatically installed by following the module installation procedure.

These modules may also be manually installed.

Open a PowerShell terminal window and install each of the required modules as follows;

Install-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.NetApp.ONTAP

If you are unable to use the PowerShell Gallery, you can still install the module manually. Ensure you repeat the following steps for the system requirements also.

1. Download the code package / latest release zip from GitHub

2. Extract the zip file

3. Copy the folder AsBuiltReport.NetApp.ONTAP to a path that is set in $env:PSModulePath.

4. Open a PowerShell terminal window and unblock the downloaded files with

   $path = (Get-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.NetApp.ONTAP -ListAvailable).ModuleBase; Unblock-File -Path $path\*.psd1; Unblock-File -Path $path\Src\Public\*.ps1; Unblock-File -Path $path\Src\Private\*.ps1

5. Close and reopen the PowerShell terminal window.

Note: You are not limited to installing the module to those example paths, you can add a new entry to the environment variable PSModulePath if you want to use another path.

To generate a NetApp ONTAP Array report, a user account with the readonly role of higher on the AFF/FAS is required.

The NetApp ONTAP Array As Built Report utilises a JSON file to allow configuration of report information, options, detail and healthchecks.

A NetApp ONTAP Array report configuration file can be generated by executing the following command;

New-AsBuiltReportConfig -Report NetApp.ONTAP -FolderPath <User specified folder> -FileName <Optional>

Executing this command will copy the default ONTAP report JSON configuration to a user specified folder.

All report settings can then be configured via the JSON file.

The following provides information of how to configure each schema within the report's JSON file.

The Report schema provides configuration of the NetApp ONTAP report information.

The Options schema allows certain options within the report to be toggled on or off.

The InfoLevel schema allows configuration of each section of the report at a granular level. The following sections can be set.

There are 3 levels (0-2) of detail granularity for each section as follows;

The table below outlines the default and maximum InfoLevel settings for each section.

The Healthcheck schema is used to toggle health checks on or off.

There are a few examples listed below on running the AsBuiltReport script against a NetApp ONTAP Array target. Refer to the README.md file in the main AsBuiltReport project repository for more examples.
