cDot volume names do not align with node local commands

[DARREN_REED]

Looking at a cluster running 8.2.1P1, I notice that sometimes volume names as reported by the "qtree status" from the 7-Mode shell do not align with the volume names reported in the cDot CLI (or anywhere else for that matter.)

e.g. (names changed to protect the guilty)

cluster01:: > node run -node local qtree status testvol0(1)

Volume Tree Style Oplocks Status
-------- -------- ----- -------- ---------
testvol0(1) unix enabled normal
testvol0(1) database_undo001 unix enabled normal

cluster01:: > node run -node local vol status testvol0(1)

sis fractional_reserve=0

Containing aggregate: 'cluster01c01_aggr2'

cluster01:: > volume show -volume testvol0(1)

Why does this variation exist?

Why isn't there a 1:1 correlation between volume names between all parts of cDot?

You are using () in the volume name? trying using quotes around it in the cdot command - might be interpreting the () as regex.

In cDOT is it possible to have volumes in different vServers that have the same name. This must somehow be mapped to the underlying D-Blade (nodeshell). So the first volume you create for any vServer with a certain name usually gets this name 1:1 mapped to the D-Blade, but as soon as you create another volume with the same name (but in a different vServer) the system has to rename that second volume.

But generally you really really shouldn't look at the volume names on the D-Blade (and NEVER EVER change anything volume- or aggregate-related on the nodeshell!) as the cluster makes certain it does everything correctly. Eventually the possibility to see volumes on the nodeshell will go away anyway since it is not really needed anymore
