Get-Resourcepool does not easily allow you to view current settings or permissions. This is very clever, any idea on how to retrieve and log the settings of a current Resource pool?

I followed your directions. Everything went fine until I went to add graphs for the netapp through the cacti interface. I get this: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JAq6A3RG-oF-xA-xyj1jhdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink As you can see, it won't let me add a graph because the data query is returning 0 rows. If I run the data query from the command line as the cacti user, it works and I get data back from the netapp. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Dan Andrew,
