Hi, We are trying to append file permissions on to our CIFS shares. We want to add a permission for a group of users with read only access and also add a permission for a group of users with write access. We use ONTAP APIs to do it and have created a python script that would apply read-DL with read-permission(with propagate enabled), get the Job_UUID from the cluster and store it in a DB followed by applying write-DL with read+write-permissions(with propagate enabled), get the job_UUID from the cluster and store it in the same DB. the issue what we faced is: some of the subfolders and files had the read-DL permission applied, some had the write-DL permission applied, some subfolders having both read-DL and write-DL permission applied. Ideally the logic is to have both the read-DL and write-DL permissions applied for all subfolders and files underneath the parent share where we apply run the script. ( API calls ) One thing we noticed is, when we first apply the read-DL permissions (through API), wait for it complete and then execute the script for write-DL permission, it works. All files and sub-folders have both read-DL and write-DL permissions applied. is there a way we can apply read-DL permissions and write-DL permissions at the same time (parallely) on files and folders? Is this something the community has tried and implemented successfully ? or are there any known caveats? Is this an API issue or a known behaviour of how NTFS handles DACLs inheritance / propagation ? your help and pointers is highly appreciated.

# ONTAP Select Deploy Error on IBM Cloud Bare Metal with KVM ## Environment - **Bare Metal:** IBM Cloud (24 cores, 128GB RAM, 1x480GB + 4x7.68TB NVMe) - **OS:** IBM Red Hat 9.6 Minimal AMD64-6 - **Hypervisor:** KVM - **Deploy:** ONTAP Select Deploy on separate VSI - **Host IP:** 10.240.68.8 ## Problem When adding the KVM host to ONTAP Select Deploy, the host appears but shows no information (nodes, CPU, memory, management server). Clicking the host name shows: ``` Error in retrieving information for host "10.240.68.8". Reason: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'. ``` **API Error:** ``` GET /api/v3/hosts/{uuid}/storage/disks Response: {"error": {"code": "HostInfoErr", "message": "...NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'."}} ``` ## Logs from `/opt/netapp/log/kvmadmin.log` ``` 2026-02-20 18:04:41,044|DEBUG |host.py|812:execute_remote_command| Executing command:'lshw -xml -numeric' on host: '10.240.68.8' 2026-02-20 18:04:42,333|ERROR |storage.py|1449:get_pdevice_info| libvirt failed None : 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text' ``` The error repeats after Deploy executes `lshw -xml -numeric` via `qemu+ssh://root@10.240.68.8/system?no_tty=1`. ## Host Output (commands execute successfully) **Block devices:** ```bash # ls -l /sys/block nvme0n1 -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0/0000:03:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1 nvme1n1 -> ../devices/pci0000:bc/0000:bc:00.5/pci10001:00/10001:00:03.0/10001:02:00.0/nvme/nvme1/nvme1n1 nvme2n1 -> ../devices/pci0000:bc/0000:bc:00.5/pci10001:00/10001:00:05.0/10001:03:00.0/nvme/nvme2/nvme2n1 nvme3n1 -> ../devices/pci0000:bc/0000:bc:00.5/pci10001:00/10001:00:07.0/10001:04:00.0/nvme/nvme3/nvme3n1 nvme4n1 -> ../devices/pci0000:bc/0000:bc:00.5/pci10001:00/10001:00:01.0/10001:01:00.0/nvme/nvme4/nvme4n1 ``` **LVM status:** ```bash # pvs --options pv_name,vg_name,vg_fmt --noheadings --separator : /dev/nvme1n1:netap_pool:lvm2 ``` **Block devices tree:** ```bash # lsblk --ascii --output name,pkname,mountpoint --noheadings nvme0n1 |-nvme0n1p1 nvme0n1 |-nvme0n1p2 nvme0n1 /boot/efi |-nvme0n1p3 nvme0n1 /boot |-nvme0n1p4 nvme0n1 / `-nvme0n1p5 nvme0n1 nvme3n1 nvme2n1 nvme1n1 `-netap_pool-ontap_select_meta nvme1n1 nvme4n1 ``` ## Analysis - Deploy connects successfully via libvirt - All commands execute without errors on the host - The error occurs during XML parsing of `lshw -xml -numeric` output - Suggests the XML format from RHEL 9.6's `lshw` may differ from what Deploy expects ## Questions 1. Is ONTAP Select Deploy compatible with IBM Red Hat 9.6 Minimal? 2. Are there specific `lshw` or `libvirt` package versions required? 3. Is this a known issue with NVMe devices on IBM Cloud Bare Metal? 4. Any workaround or patch available? Has anyone successfully deployed ONTAP Select on IBM Cloud Bare Metal with KVM?

I accidentally update my nfs service kerberos keytab in a different machine with `ipa-getkeytab` command. After that nfs clients disconnected from the storage one by one. (after credentials are expired I guess). So I need to update kerberos keytab and register it to Ontap. I ran a command. vserver nfs kerberos interface enable -lif stor01 -vserver vs1 -keytab-uri http://url-to/kerberos.keytab Then I got this result. Error: command failed: Kerberos is already enabled on this LIF So I try to disable it first instead. vserver nfs kerberos interface disable -lif stor01 -vserver vs1 I typed admin username and password and 'y' to the following instruction. Warning: This command deletes the service principal name "nfs/stor01.in.kzmdstu.com@IN.KZMDSTU.COM" from the machine account on the KDC. Do you want to continue? {y|n}: I got this error. Error: command failed: Failed to disable NFS Kerberos on LIF "stor01". Failed to delete the account associated with the Kerberos service principal name. Reason: Kerberos Error: Unknown error. So I cannot enable nor disable. How can I inspect the problem?

Hi Team, We have 1.93TB volume on below aggregate. Which is already more than the aggregate total size. cluster1::> df -g -x vol1 Filesystem total used avail capacity Mounted on Vserver /vol/vol1/ 1975GB 1565GB 282GB 79% /vol1 vserver1 aggr1_data1 1800GB 549GB 1251GB 30% aggr1_data2 1800GB 1517GB 282GB 84% What is the disadvantage of having larger volume than aggregate? Could you please tell me what is the maximum volume size. How can I resolve capacity full?
