What is the best source to download "NetApp PowerShell Toolkit"? What I know is the best source is https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/tools/tool-eula/powershell-toolkit, this is currently PSTK for complete API coverage ONTAP 9.8. But when is a new version released to match the latest ONTAP versions? As far as I know the PSTK version should match the ONTAP version to have good API coverage, is this still a good rule of thumb?

I do know that there's a version here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/NetApp.ONTAP/9.12.1.2302

But why is this not available on the support site of Netapp? Is this not a "real" Netapp version but a 3rd party release?

Also with "NetApp ONTAPI (ZAPI) will reach end of availability (EOA) in ONTAP 9.14.1 and newer expected January 2024" does this affect PSTK support?

Cheers,
Arthur

That module from the gallery is official. The 'owner' is a member of the team that manages that module. That discrepency has been sent up the chain for review.

I suspect that the other SDKs are also delivered through the standard channels of the respective language. For example, the Python module thru pip here:
https://pypi.org/project/netapp-ontap/

PyPI
netapp-ontap

A library for working with ONTAP's REST APIs simply in Python

For some reason, after 9.8, they changed the URL for the PowerShell toolkit. The latest available from this URL is 9.12, and this appears to get updated as new versions are released: https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/tools/tool-eula/ontap-powershell-toolkit

I don't know why they don't reference this from the old URL. I opened a ticket about it a while back, but they still appear to be separate links.

#

Also, all the references from the support site take you to the 9.8 page (if you search for it, or if you click the link under "Tools"). Can anyone on here help to get that fixed? It makes it look like 9.8 is the latest version available.

Thank you both for clearing up the confusion I had. Also nice to see python tooling, will point my colleague to that URL.

AFAIK the newest PSTK is always on PSGallery so that you can install it without fiddling with downloads etc.
