Hi All

 

My first play with cDOT. I am trying to create a volume on the node server. I keep getting an error saying Error: command failed: This operation is not allowed on a node Vserver.

Do you have to have a vserver to be able to create any data volumes?

 

thanks

Hi,

yes every volume belongs to a vserver. No vserver no data 😉

Clustered Data ONTAP has 3 types of vservers (now renamed as Storage Virtual Machines or SVMs) ie, admin type, node type and data-serving type. The first two are purely for management and cluster operation, where the last one is the only data serving vserver. All data volumes must be associated with a data vserver. You can see the current vserver types in your cluster by issuing the command:

 

cluster :: > vserver show -fields Vserver,Type
