volume-clone-create not working

gasparuben — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:50:18 GMT

Using ZEDI I have generated following code to generate a clone on C-mode cluster:

require 5.6.1;
use lib '/opt/netapp-manageability-sdk-5.0R1/lib/perl/NetApp';
use strict;
use warnings;
use NaServer;
use NaElement;

my $s = new NaServer('Cname', 1 , 15);
$s->set_server_type('FILER');
$s->set_transport_type('HTTPS');
$s->set_port(443);
$s->set_style('LOGIN');
$s->set_admin_user('vsadmin', 'XXXXXX');

my $api = new NaElement('volume-clone-create');
$api->child_add_string('junction-active','true');
$api->child_add_string('junction-path','/ORA/dbs03/PEPE');
$api->child_add_string('parent-snapshot','snapscript_31102013_195117_92');
$api->child_add_string('parent-volume','postgres03');
#$api->child_add_string('space-reserve','true');
#$api->child_add_string('use-snaprestore-license','<use-snaprestore-license>');
$api->child_add_string('volume','pepe');

my $xo = $s->invoke_elem($api);
if ($xo->results_status() eq 'failed') {
    print 'Error:\n';
    print $xo->sprintf();
    exit 1;
}

print 'Received:\n';
print $xo->sprintf();

This is failing with error:

$ perl /tmp/clone.pl

Error:\n<results reason="Aggregate aggr4_c01n02 does not exist" status="failed" errno="14420"></results>

aggr4_c01n02 is the containing aggregate of the parent volume. It definitely exists. The filer is running Ontap 8.2P3. I am connecting to the cluster using a lif.

Thanks for your support.

Hi,

Just to say I have tried with the latest version of Zapi and still it fails with same error:

[oracle@dbsrvg407 bin]$ perl /tmp/clone.pl

Error:\n<results reason="Aggregate aggr4_c01n02 does not exist" status="failed" errno="14420"></results>

The aggregate does exist.

c02::> aggr show

Aggregate Size Available Used% State #Vols Nodes RAID Status

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

aggr4_c01n02

130.7TB 85.25TB 35% online 12 dbnasb402 raid_dp,

Thanks for your time,

Ruben

Hi Ruben,

You need to assign the aggregate to the vserver in order to use volume creation commands (including clones) in vserver/vsadmin context.

c02::> vserver modify -vserver <vsname> -aggr-list aggr4_c01n02, ...

Make sure to note the aggregates already assigned to the vserver and add them to the command so you don't accidentally remove assigned aggregates.

c02::> vserver show -vserver <vsname> -fields aggr-list
