new-ncvol fails when directly connected to vServer as vsadmin

jerroldb — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:49:01 GMT

When trying to create a volume when directly connected to a vserver as vsadmin the volume create fails indicating the aggr does not exist (see error below). Tested on additional vservers with different aggregates, same error. Is New-NcVol not supported as 'vsadmin'?

Hi Jerry,

Is the target aggregate part of the Vserver's aggregate list?

PS C:\> Get-NcVserver beam01 | select Vserver, VserverAggrInfoList

Vserver VserverAggrInfoList

------- -------------------

beam01 {aggr1}

You can modify the aggregate list using Set-NcVserver:

PS C:\> help Set-NcVserver -Parameter Aggregates

-Aggregates <String[]>

The list of aggregates assigned for volume operations. These aggregates could be shared for use with other

vservers.

Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false

-Steven

Thanks - so simple. Overlooked the aggregates were not delegated for volume creation.

Thanks,

Jerry
