NetVision by NetVision - 3rd party security application
Situation
Error 672 when updating NDS on an existing Pool/Volume or creating a new Pool/Volume in NSSMU or iManager.
The Pool/Volume exists on the disk but no corresponding NDS objects are created in the tree.
The Pool/Volume exists on the disk but no corresponding NDS objects are created in the tree.
Resolution
Disable NetVision and then update NDS for an existing Pool/Volume or create the new Pool/Volume.
Additional Information
An LDAP trace shows the authentication completed but fails on the NDAPAddEntry (-672) and NetVision following. NetVision enforces its own rights so even though the server1.admin has the correct eDir rights the object did not have the correct NetVision rights. NetVision blocks the creation of the volume object. Disabling NetVision allows for the object creation.
