new-ncvol fails when directly connected to vServer as vsadmin

[jerroldb]

When trying to create a volume when directly connected to a vserver as vsadmin the volume create fails indicating the aggr does not exist (see error below).  Tested on additional vservers with different aggregates, same error.  Is New-NcVol not supported as 'vsadmin'?

Hi Jerry,

Is the target aggregate part of the Vserver's aggregate list?

PS C:\> Get-NcVserver beam01 | select Vserver, VserverAggrInfoList

Vserver                                                     VserverAggrInfoList

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

beam01                                                      {aggr1}

You can modify the aggregate list using Set-NcVserver:

PS C:\> help Set-NcVserver -Parameter Aggregates

-Aggregates <String[]>

    The list of aggregates assigned for volume operations.  These aggregates could be shared for use with other

    vservers.

    Required?                    false

    Position?                    named

    Default value

    Accept pipeline input?       false

    Accept wildcard characters?  false

Thanks - so simple.  Overlooked the aggregates were not delegated for volume creation.

Thanks,

Jerry
