The following table gives you detailed information about the most common errors that you might encounter when using SnapDrive for UNIX:

Error code Return code Type Message Solution

Error code	Return code	Type	Message	Solution
`0000-001`	NA	Admin	`Datapath has been configured for the storage system <STORAGE-SYSTEM-NAME>. Please delete it using snapdrive config delete -mgmtpath command and retry.`	Before deleting the storage system, delete the management path configured for the storage system by using the `snapdrive config delete -mgmtpath` command.
`0001-242`	NA	Admin	Unable to connect using https to storage system: 10.72.197.213. Ensure that 10.72.197.213 is a valid storage system name/address, and if the storage system that you configure is running on a Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, add the host to the trusted hosts (options trusted.hosts) and enable SSL on the storage system 10.72.197.213 or modify the snapdrive.conf to use http for communication and restart the snapdrive daemon. If the storage system that you configure is running on clustered Data ONTAP, ensure that the Vserver name is mapped to IP address of the Vserver's management LIF.	Check the following conditions: Ensure that the storage system you are connected is a valid storage system. If the storage system that you are trying to configure is running on Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, add the same to the trusted hosts, and enable SSL on the storage system or modify the `snapdrive.conf` file to use HTTP for communication; then restart the SnapDrive daemon. If the storage system that you are trying to configure is running on clustered Data ONTAP, ensure that the Vserver name is mapped to the IP address of the Vserver's management logical interface (LIF).
`0003- 004`	NA	Admin	`Failed to deport LUN <LUN-NAME> on storage system <STORAGE-SYSTEM-NAME> from the Guest OS. Reason: No mapping device information populated from CoreOS`	This happens when you execute the `snapdrive snap disconnect` operation in the guest operating system. Check if there is any RDM LUN mapping in the ESX server or stale RDM entry in the ESX server. Delete the RDM mapping manually in the ESX server as well as in the guest operating system.
`0001- 019`	3	Command	`invalid command line — duplicate filespecs: <dg1/vol2 and dg1/vol2>`	This happens when the command executed has multiple host entities on the same host volume. For example, the command explicitly specified the host volume and the file system on the same host volume. Complete the following steps: Remove all the duplicate instances of the host entities. Execute the command again.
`0001-023`	11	Admin	`Unable to discover all LUNs in Disk Group dg1.Devices not responding: dg1 Please check the LUN status on the storage system and bring the LUN online if necessary or add the host to the trusted hosts (options trusted.hosts) and enable SSL on the storage system or retry after changing snapdrive.conf to use (http/https) for storage system communication and restarting snapdrive daemon.`	This happens when a SCSI inquiry on the device fails. A SCSI inquiry on the device can fail for multiple reasons. Execute the following steps: Set the device-retries configuration variable to a higher value. For example, set it to 10 (the default value is 3) and execute the command again. Use the `snapdrive storage show` command with the -all option to get information about the device. Check if the FC or iSCSI service is up and running on the storage system. If not, contact the storage administrator to bring the storage system online. Check if the FC or iSCSI service is up on the host. If the preceding solutions do not solve the issue, contact technical support.
`0001-859`	NA	Admin	`None of the host's interfaces have NFS permissions to access directory <directory name> on storage system <storage system name>`	In the `snapdrive.conf` file, ensure that the `check-export-permission-nfs-clone` configuration variable is set to `off`.

For example, when creating a Snapshot copy, the disk group consisted of X number of LUNs and after making the copy, the disk group can have X+Y number of LUNs. What to do: Use the command again with the `-f` (force) flag.
`0001-185`	NA	Command	`storage show failed: no NETAPP devices to show or enable SSL on the filers or retry after changing snapdrive.conf to use http for filer communication.`	This problem can occur for the following reasons: If the iSCSI daemon or the FC service on the host has stopped or is malfunction, the `snapdrive storage show -all` command fails, even if there are configured LUNs on the host. What to do: Resolve the malfunctioning iSCSI or FC service. The storage system on which the LUNs are configured is down or is undergoing a reboot. What to do: Wait until the LUNs are up. The value set for the `usehttps- to-filer` configuration variable might not be a supported configuration. What to do: Complete the following steps: Use the `sanlun lun show all` command to check if there are any LUNs mapped to the host. If there are any LUNs mapped to the host, follow the instructions mentioned in the error message. Change the value of the `usehttps- to-filer` configuration variable (to “on” if the value is “off”; to “off' if the value is "`on”).

`0001- 476`	NA	Admin	`Unable to discover the device associated with <long lun name> If multipathing in use, there may be a possible multipathing configuration error. Please verify the configuration and then retry.`	There can be many reasons for this failure. Invalid host configuration: The iSCSI, FC, or the multipathing solution is not properly setup. Invalid network or switch configuration: The IP network is not setup with the proper forwarding rules or filters for iSCSI traffic, or the FC switches are not configured with the recommended zoning configuration. The preceding issues are very difficult to diagnose in an algorithmic or sequential manner. What to do: NetAppIt is recommends that before you use SnapDrive for UNIX, you follow the steps recommended in the Host Utilities Setup Guide (for the specific operating system) for discovering LUNs manually. After you discover LUNs, use the SnapDrive for UNIX commands.
`0001- 486`	12	Admin	`LUN(s) in use, unable to delete. Please note it is dangerous to remove LUNs that are under Volume Manager control without properly removing them from Volume Manager control first.`	SnapDrive for UNIX cannot delete a LUN that is part of a volume group. What to do: Complete the following steps: Delete the disk group using the command `snapdrive storage delete -dg <dgname>`. Delete the LUN.
`0001- 494`	12	Command	`Snapdrive cannot delete <mydg1>, because 1 host volumes still remain on it. Use -full flag to delete all file systems and host volumes associated with <mydg1>`	SnapDrive for UNIX cannot delete a disk group until all the host volumes on the disk group are explicitly requested to be deleted. What to do: Do either of the following: Specify the `-full` flag in the command. Complete the following steps: Use the `snapdrive storage show -all` command to get the list of host volumes that are on the disk group. Mention each of them explicitly in the SnapDrive for UNIX command.
`0001- 541`	65	Command	`Insufficient access permission to create a LUN on filer, <exocet>.`	SnapDrive for UNIX uses the `sdhostname.prbac` or `sdgeneric.prbacfile` on the root storage system (filer) volume for its pseudo access control mechanism. What to do: Do either of the following: Modify the `sd-hostname.prbac` or `sdgeneric. prbac` file in the storage system to include the following requisite permissions (can be one or many): NONE SNAP CREATE SNAP USE SNAP ALL STORAGE CREATE DELETE STORAGE USE STORAGE ALL ALL ACCESS NOTE: If you do not have `sd-hostname.prbac` file, then modify the `sdgeneric.prbac` file in the storage system. If you have both `sd-hostname.prbac` and `sdgeneric.prbac` file, then modify the settings only in `sdhostname.prbac` file in the storage system. In the `snapdrive.conf` file, ensure that the `all-access-if-rbacunspecified` configuration variable is set to “on”.
`0001-559`	NA	Admin	`Detected I/Os while taking snapshot. Please quiesce your application. See Snapdrive Admin. Guide for more information.`	This error occurs if you try to create a Snapshot copy, while parallel input/output operations occur on the file specification and the value of `snapcreate-cg-timeout` is set to urgent. What to do: Increase the value of consistency groups time out by setting the value of `snapcreate-cg-timeout` to relaxed.
`0001- 570`	6	Command	`Disk group <dg1> does not exist and hence cannot be resized`	This error occurs when the disk group is not present in the host and subsequently the command fails. What to do: Complete the following steps: Use the `snapdrive storage show -all` command to get all the disk group names. Execute the command with the correct disk group name.
`0001- 574`	1	Command	`<VmAssistant> lvm does not support resizing LUNs in disk groups`	This error occurs when the volume manager that is used to perform this task does not support LUN resizing. SnapDrive for UNIX depends on the volume manager solution to support the LUN resizing, if the LUN is part of a disk group. What to do: Check if the volume manager that you are using supports LUN resizing.
`0001- 616`	6	Command	`1 snapshot(s) NOT found on filer: exocet:/vol/vol1:MySnapName>`	SnapDrive for UNIX cannot accept more than one Snapshot name in the command line for performing any Snapshot operations. To rectify this error, re-issue the command with one Snapshot name. This is a syntax error which indicates invalid use of command, where a Snapshot operation is attempted with an invalid Snapshot name. To rectify this error, complete the following steps: Use the `snapdrive snap list - filer <filer-volume-name>` command to get a list of Snapshot copies. Execute the command with the `long_snap_name` argument.
`0001- 640`	1	Command	`Root file system / is not managed by snapdrive`	This error occurs when the root file system on the host is not supported by SnapDrive for UNIX. This is an invalid request to SnapDrive for UNIX.

NA	NA	NA	`FS fails to be mounted after reboot due to unavailability of LV.`	This happens when LV is not available after the reboot. Hence the filesystem is not mounted. What to do: After the reboot, do vgchange which brings LV up and then mount the file system.
NA	NA	NA	`Status call to SDU daemon failed.`	There are multiple reasons for this error to occur. This error indicates that the SnapDrive for UNIX job related to a specific operation has failed abruptly (child daemon ended) before the operation could be completed. If the storage creation or the deletion fails with "Status call to SnapDrive for UNIX daemon failed", it could be because of failing call to ONTAP to get the volume information. volume-get-iter zapi might fail. Retry the snapdrive operations after sometime. SnapDrive for UNIX operation might fail while executing "kpartx -l" while creating partitions or other operating system commands due to the inappropriate `multipath.conf` values. Ensure proper values are set and no duplicate keywords exist in `multipath.conf` file. While performing SFSR, SnapDrive for UNIX creates temporary Snapshot which might fail if the maximum number of snapshot value has reached. Delete the older snapshots and retry the restore operation.
NA	NA	NA	`map in use; can't flush`	This error occurs if there are any stale devices left behind when trying to flush the multipath device during the storage delete or disconnect operations. What to do: Check if there are any stale devices by executing the command `multipath` `-l egrep -ifail` and ensure `flush_on_last_del` is set to 'yes' in the `multipath.conf` file.

Detected I/Os while taking snapshot. Please quiesce your application. See Snapdrive Admin. Guide for more information.

This error occurs if you try to create a Snapshot copy, while parallel input/output operations occur on the file specification and the value of snapcreate-cg-timeout is set to urgent.

What to do: Increase the value of consistency groups time out by setting the value of snapcreate-cg-timeout to relaxed.

0001- 570

Command

Disk group <dg1> does not exist and hence cannot be resized

This error occurs when the disk group is not present in the host and subsequently the command fails.

What to do: Complete the following steps:

Use the snapdrive storage show -all command to get all the disk group names.
Execute the command with the correct disk group name.

0001- 574

Command

<VmAssistant> lvm does not support resizing LUNs in disk groups

This error occurs when the volume manager that is used to perform this task does not support LUN resizing.

SnapDrive for UNIX depends on the volume manager solution to support the LUN resizing, if the LUN is part of a disk group.

What to do: Check if the volume manager that you are using supports LUN resizing.

0001- 616

Command

1 snapshot(s) NOT found on filer: exocet:/vol/vol1:MySnapName>

SnapDrive for UNIX cannot accept more than one Snapshot name in the command line for performing any Snapshot operations. To rectify this error, re-issue the command with one Snapshot name.

This is a syntax error which indicates invalid use of command, where a Snapshot operation is attempted with an invalid Snapshot name. To rectify this error, complete the following steps:

Use the snapdrive snap list - filer <filer-volume-name> command to get a list of Snapshot copies.
Execute the command with the long_snap_name argument.

0001- 640

Command

Insufficient privileges: user does not have read access to this resource.

This issue is seen in SnapDrive for UNIX 5.2.2. Prior to SnapDrive for UNIX 5.2.2, the vsadmin user configured in SnapDrive for UNIX needs to have 'vsadmin_volume' role. From SnapDrive for UNIX 5.2.2, the vsadmin user needs elevated access roles, else snapmirror-get-iter zapi fails.

What to do: Create role vsadmin instead of vsadmin_volume and assign to vsadmin user.

0001-016

Command

Could not acquire lock file on storage system.

Snapshot creation fails due to insufficient space in the volume. Or due to the existence of .snapdrive_lock file in the storage system.

What to do: Do either of the following:

Delete file /vol/<volname>/.snapdrive_lock on storage system and retry snap create operation. To delete the file, login to storage system, enter advanced privilege mode and execute the command rm /vol/<volname>/.snapdrive_lock at storage system prompt.
Ensure sufficient space is available in the volume before taking snapshot.

What to do: Use volumes with the exported active file system path.

0001-476

Admin

Unable to discover the device. If multipathing in use, there may be a possible multipathing configuration error. Please verify the configuration and then retry.

There are multiple reasons for this error could occur.

The following conditions to be checked: Before you create the storage, ensure zoning is proper.

Check the transport protocol and multipathing-type in snapdrive.conf file and ensure proper values are set.

Check the multipath daemon status, if multipathing-type is set as nativempio start multipathd and restart the snapdrived daemon.

FS fails to be mounted after reboot due to unavailability of LV.

This happens when LV is not available after the reboot. Hence the filesystem is not mounted.

What to do: After the reboot, do vgchange which brings LV up and then mount the file system.

Status call to SDU daemon failed.

There are multiple reasons for this error to occur. This error indicates that the SnapDrive for UNIX job related to a specific operation has failed abruptly (child daemon ended) before the operation could be completed.

If the storage creation or the deletion fails with "Status call to SnapDrive for UNIX daemon failed", it could be because of failing call to ONTAP to get the volume information. volume-get-iter zapi might fail. Retry the snapdrive operations after sometime.

SnapDrive for UNIX operation might fail while executing "kpartx -l" while creating partitions or other operating system commands due to the inappropriate multipath.conf values. Ensure proper values are set and no duplicate keywords exist in multipath.conf file.

While performing SFSR, SnapDrive for UNIX creates temporary Snapshot which might fail if the maximum number of snapshot value has reached. Delete the older snapshots and retry the restore operation.

map in use; can't flush

This error occurs if there are any stale devices left behind when trying to flush the multipath device during the storage delete or disconnect operations.

What to do: Check if there are any stale devices by executing the command

multipath

-l egrep -ifail and ensure flush_on_last_del is set to 'yes' in the multipath.conf file.
