From the above cases all the test is ran in few sec difference against same filer and of-course there is no changes to the filer in between this test.

some of the API calls are successful some are not. How we can explain this and where to look for some information.

Any type of information will be helpful.

thanks in advance.

Hi - we have same issue here. In our case it's a vfiler we're connecting to - but the same "sometimes fails" and "sometimes succeeds" behaviour is seen from consecutive calls to:

./apitest.pl -h vfiler01 system-get-version

Very strange - very much like to hear if you found an explanation & workaround.

Thx...
