(RPC: Timed out) when creating volumes

VJAYRAGHAVAN — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:32:13 GMT

Hi,

We are getting RPC timeout errors when we try to create new volumes. Please find the error message when i try to create the volume

N0905800::*> volume create -vserver N905800-T-PII -volume vj_test_rpc_time_out_error -aggregate N0905800_02_D0905010_01 -size 20GB -state online -type RW -space-guarantee none -percent-snapshot-space 0 -unix-permissions 775 -snapshot-policy none -user MQM -group MQM
[Job 25861] Operation cleanup

Error: command failed: [Job 25861] Job failed: RPC: Timed out

We I check the EMS log it looks like all the LS mirrors are failing with the below error message.

error="Volume config database write failed (RPC: Timed out)."

I have checked my cluster quorum and I am not seeing any issues.

I have also tried to create volumes in different Nodes and different Vserver and i still get the error.

Has anyone seen this error before? Can someone help me to fix it.

We are running NetApp Release 8.2.1P3 Cluster-Mode

Regards,

Vijay

sure looks like an RDB replication issue to me

You may check the output of "cluster ring show" from advanced privilege mode to see if an RDB ring is healthy or not.
