dellemc_isilon_filesystem and Isilon account

the error message:
172.20.62.29 | FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Creation of Filesystem ifs/SIMPSONVILLE/Tier2/rpo-30min/fs123 failed with error: { errors : [ { code : AEC_FORBIDDEN , message : Unable to set ACL or mode. -- operation not permitted. } ] } "

I use a local account on the Isilon named ansible which is identical to root except the UID. If I connect to the Isilon with the root account, it works. So this is a permission issue with the ansible account on the Isilon. What does it need? It is a member of system admin and security admin as root does.

I appreciate any insights you may have. Thank you.

Hi @Mokrina ,

Thanks for the inputs. It is a pre-requisite that certain permissions need to be set for user before trying this operation.

And in spite of that we are seeing some intermittent issues in creating a file system with non root users which is documented as a known issue in

Release notes.https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerscale/blob/master/docs/Release%20Notes.md 

In these scenarios, recommend you to use root user.

Thanks

Hey folks, are there any plans to fix this?

It doesn't seem like a good idea to use root account for Ansible access.

Hi @John_TW @isi_not_so_easy 

On discussion with OneFS team, granting ISI_PRIV_IFS_RESTORE privileges through a role to the custom user should enable the creation of filesystem with acl permissions. This seems to work for me. Could you please check the same?

Thanks,
Jennifer.
