Quota error check

Question

I'm copying a large number of folders from one server to another. Unfortunately the destination server has  the disk and the volume different (so I can't make a mirror copy with the same path..) With a little patience I can create the list of powershell commands to create the quotas on the destination server

New-FsrmQuota -Path "D:\Vol01\folder1" -Size2GB -Template "QMPA"

Using New-FsrmQuota  by "running" from  powershell ISE  I cannot clearly see/verify the errors (example: the folder does not exist or the path does not exist) especially if the quotas to set are a large number (as 800) 

I was wondering if there is a way with powershell to  verify errors and have a list of unexecuted quotas, the type of error and the corresponding powershell command.

Answer 1

I am receiving the error below:

"path","size","template"

"D:\Vol01\folder1","8GB"

"D:\Vol01\folder2","3GB"

"D:\Vol01\folder3","2GB"

Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Size'. Cannot convert value "8GB" to type "System.UInt64". Error: "Input string was not in a correct format."

Answer 2

It seems the size has to be converted manually. Please see if this works. Sorry I don't currently have a server to test the script.

$entries = "C:\entries.csv"

Import-CSV -Path $entries | foreach-object {

    Try {      

        # PowerShell command that might generate an error

        New-FsrmQuota -Path $_.path -Size $($_.size/1) -Template "QMPA" -ErrorAction Stop  
    } 

    Catch {      

        # Log the error message to the log file     

        Add-Content -Path $LogFile -Value $("[" + (Get-Date) + "] " + $_.Exception.Message) 

    }

}

Thank you very much Ian_Xue,

it is working now.

[02/07/2024 08:44:20] 0x80045303, The specified object already exists.

[02/07/2024 08:44:20] 0x80045303, The specified object already exists.

[02/07/2024 08:44:20] 0x80045303, The specified object already exists.

unfortunately this type of outcome does not help me to understand which folder generated the error.

it is possible have more details of the error (for example would be enough to have also the line below the error that says: : +New-FsrmQuota -Path "D:\Vol01\folder1" -Size 8GB)

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> New-FsrmQuota -Path "D:\Vol01\folder1" -Size 8GB

New-FsrmQuota : 0x80045303, The specified object already exists.

At line:1 char:1

+ New-FsrmQuota -Path "D:\Vol01\folder1" -Size 8GB

Answer 4

You can simply add the path to the log file like this.

$entries = "C:\entries.csv"
Import-CSV -Path $entries | foreach-object {
    $entry = $_
    Try {      
        # PowerShell command that might generate an error
        New-FsrmQuota -Path $_.path -Size $($_.size/1) -Template "QMPA" -ErrorAction Stop  
    } 
    Catch {      
        # Log the error message to the log file     
        Add-Content -Path $LogFile -Value $("[" + (Get-Date) + "] " + "[" + $entry.path + "] " + $_.Exception.Message) 
    }
}

I have one line more but the error should be "The specified object already exists" and not Access is denied as I can see on the log (below)

[02/08/2024 10:28:57] [D:\Vol01\folder1] 0x80070005, Access is denied.

[02/08/2024 10:28:57] [D:\Vol01\folder2] 0x80070005, Access is denied.

[02/08/2024 10:28:57] [D:\Vol01\folder3] 0x80070005, Access is denied.
