Malformed XML exception

tekaravind — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:25:27 GMT

ONTAP version is 7.3.1,
SDK- Java-manage-ontap-sdk-3.0

Below is the exception on invoking "volume-list-info" command:-

netapp.manage.NaProtocolException: Malformed XML
at netapp.manage.NaServer.invokeElem(NaServer.java:549)
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Expected "</mirror-status>" to terminate element starting on line 3.
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Parser2.java:3376)

Please suggest if there is any workaround for this issue.

Thanks

Hi Aravind,

Not sure if SAX XML parser is seeing additional < or > characters in volume-list-info response data. Could you please take the raw xml output of

volume-list-info command using apitest utility with -X option to check whether XML respose contains any additional < or > characters.

Thanks.
