Situation
While reviewing volumes, some volumes may show "Unable to read attribute value; Result = 163." instead of CIFS or AFP information.
Resolution
If the resource is hosted on an OES2/OES11 Linux server, ensure that the "NCS:Volumes"and "NCS:NCP SERVER" are:
- present on the object, and
- contain the correct information (i.e. value)
- login to iManager
- select the "View Objects" icon (the spyglass)
- on the tree tab, browse down to the cluster in question and click on it.
the clustered resources will now show in the right pane - click on the resource in question (i.e. DATA_SERVER object)
- from the list of "valued attributes", ensure that for "NCS:Volumes"
- the attribute exists in the list, (if not, highlight it in the "unvalued attributes" window and use the arrow to add it to "value attributes"), and
- the value points to the proper volume object.
- from the list of "valued attributes", ensure that for "NCS:NCP SERVER"
- the attribute exists in the list, (if not, highlight it in the "unvalued attributes" window and use the arrow to add it to "value attributes"), and
- points to the virtual server object and not to a physical cluster node.
Additional Information
