NetApp agents error messages

The following table contains a list of error messages for the VCS agents for NetApp.

Table: NetApp agents error messages

Message

Description

Failed to open connection to filer %s.

Make sure that the VCS Helper service account has is a domain user and is part of the administrator's group on the local host and the filer.

Make sure the private network is functioning properly. Verify you can ping the IP used for the private storage network. This is the IP defined the StorageIP attribute of the NetAppFiler resource.

Failed to initialize ONTAPI on system

The agent could not find the file NTAPADMIN.DLL on the system. Verify the file exists in the %VCS_HOME%\bin directory

Invalid attributes exist in the configuration

Some agent attributes have not been defined or have been defined incorrectly. Verify the configuration definition for the agent.

ONTAP API called failed for object_name on filer_name.

The specified API failed on the specified object. See the NetApp ONTAP API documentation for information about the associated error message

Volume %s on filer %s is not a SnapMirror replicated volume

Verify replication is set up on the specified volume.

Multiple snapmirror destinations for a volume is not supported by this agent. 'snapmirror status' for volume %s on filer %s returned multiple status entries. Administrative intervention required

There should be only one destination per source volume.

Initialize VLibNetAppHost::Initialize() failed. (error_type: %s, error_code: 0x%s)

The agent could not detect the iSCSI or the FC Initiator on the host.

Make sure that you have installed and configured Microsoft iSCSI Initiator or an FC Initiator on each node.

Failed to connect/disconnect virtual disk. (error_type: %s, error_code: 0x%s. error_message: %s)

This could occur because one or more of the following parameters are defined incorrectly in the VCS configuration:

  • Filer name

  • Volume name/LUN name

  • Share name

  • Storage IP

Verify the configuration definition of the resource. Make sure each attribute is defined correctly.

Unable to create/delete online lock file %s. Error code %s,

Make sure you have write permissions on the specified directory.
