Getting below error while trying to call Qtree Rename API. Why is the SVM going in lock status ?

PATCH /api/storage/qtrees/9fee2a62-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/1025?return_timeout=120 : {"export_policy":{"id":xxxxxxxxxxxx,"name":"default"}} :: Error: This SVM is temporarily locked from changes while recording the configuration baseline. Try again in a few minutes or manually stop configuration replication by running "vserver config-replication pause" and retry the command.

Hi@kanotramohit ,

I suggest that you create a NetApp case for investigation as the NetApp KB lists this as normal behavior https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/Ontap_OS/OS-KBs/SVM_is_temporarily_locked_from_changes_while_recording_the_configuration_baseline

CAUSE

Vserver creation/modification initiates the baseline reconfiguration.
The SVM is temporarily locked for changes while recording the configuration baseline.

SOLUTION

No action is required. API call will succeed when the vserver configuration is unlocked.
Try again in a few minutes or manually stop configuration replication by running vserver config-replication pause and retry the command.
