Volume Efficiency auto-state setting with PowerShell?

[azure elbow]

There is a field in the volume efficiencies called "auto-state" that does not seem to be accessible using standard PowerShell commands (Get-NcSis or Get-NcVolume). From the CLI, it is only visable in diag mode. Does anyone know any way to pull this information using PowerShell, other than using Invoke-NcSSH?

This is the command to view it in the CLI (while in diag):
vol efficiency show -volume vol1 -fields auto-state

I'm asking because we have workflows in WFA that are failing when we try to set the efficiencies on volumes that have been "deprioritized".

Hello, you can try to get it using the ontap Rest-Api private cli and the invoke-restmethod and some dev work in order to pack everything. It works great if you are in a ontap version that support rest-api. the netapp powershell library does offer the private cli access unfortunately.

Thanks, @violet spruce, I'll give that a try.
Apparently there is now an auto-promote feature in OnTap 9.12.1, so this may not even be an issue (hopefully).

That's a new, where did you see this? (auto-promote for deprioritized volumes with 9.12.1)

FYI for anyone following this or anyone that finds this later, Matt Beattie from NetApp gave some examples of the Passthrough CLI that @violet spruce mentioned above in this Community thread. Worked great for me, so hopefully it will help some of you out as well.
