Resolution
1. Check to see if owcimomd is running:
At the console, type "rcowcimomd status" If it comes back as "running" this resolution will not apply, and you should see TID# 3417215 for additional troubleshooting
2. If it is not running, try to restart it:
rcowcimomd start
Wait a few moments, and then try, "rcowcimomd status" If it comes back as "running" try the iManager operation again.
3. If it runs for a moment, and then goes to a "dead" or "stopped" status, follow the steps below:
Check the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, if it looks like the following:

Check the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, if it looks like the following:
------------------------------ passwd: compat nam group: compat nam hosts: files dns networks: files dns services: files ldap protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files ldap publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files nis aliases: files ldap passwd_compat: ldap group_compat: ldap -------------------------------4. Restart owcimomd and re-try to manage CIFS / AFP, etc.
That means that both NSS_ldap and LUM have both been enabled. These two options are mutually exclusive. Modify the file to look like this:
/etc/nsswitch.conf------------------------ passwd: compat nam group: compat nam hosts: files dns networks: files dns services: files protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files nis aliases: files ---------------------------
