Thanks for the quick reply.

Could not get much help.. following is the snippet where I am getting the error:

if ($filer_type eq "ontap-cm"){
                $out = $s->invoke( "quota-add-entry",
                            "disk-limit","$disklimit",
                            "quota-type","user",
                            "quota-target","$uid",
                            "volume","$volume");

                        if ($out->results_status() eq "failed"){
                                print($out->results_errno());
                                print($out->results_reason());
                         }
}
else{
                $out = $s->invoke( "quota-add-entry",
                            "disk-limit","$disklimit",
                            "quota-type","user",
                            "volume","$volume",
                            "quota-target","$uid",
                            "qtree","$qtree" );
               

                        if ($out->results_status() eq "failed"){
                                print ($out->results_errno());
                                print($out->results_reason());
                        }
}

The snippet works perfectly fine when the filer type is "ontap" but throws an error when filer type is "ontap-cm"

The error message is "13005 Unable to find API: quota-add-entry ".

Any help/lead would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rahul

The "quota-add-entry" API must be directed at a SVM/vserver. Make sure you're either connecting to the SVM admin LIF, or doing vserver tunneling from the cluster LIF.

Hope that helps.
