Re: vfiler create and configure fails though vfiler was created

skellner · ‎2012-06-21

During workflow execution I get the following error. Although execution fails the vfiler is created successfully. I assume it has something to do with the alias creation on the interface. I used the same command in another workflow where the interface had no ip adress before and that worked. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks in advance

On the system the vfiler looks loke this

running

ipspace: its

IP address: 7.242.234.107 [vif3-231]

So everything fine actually

I found the error. In the command the interface is assigned to the ipspace without any pre check. If the interface is already assigned to the ipspace the api call throws an error. I cloned the command and changed the section with the ipspace. The interface now only will be assigned to the ipspace if it is created within the workflow.

Not sure, but another issue I see is that it looks like you called the command specifying an AdminHostIpAddress but not specifying an AdminHostName. According to the docs, both are mandatory for Set-NaVfilerAdminHost.

It's strange that the command would continue after the IP address assignment "error" condition occurred as if the catch didn't catch it and throw the error then, but then does fail the command with basically the same error condition. Odd.

Thanks,
