Sometimes you delete and sometimes you don't

I was doing some testing, to see what happens when our software runs on a Centera Cluster in the GE mode, as opposed to basic.

I connected to the public EMEA3 cluster using the emea3profile3_rdqew.pea file for credentials. When I was doing some rollback tests, I could not delete my clips, even though the pea says that I can delete, and the cluster information we print out says so as well. After some testing on a different server process, and some searching for possible answers, I tried again, and then it worked, what's happening here?

Here is the result from my tests at noon, I could write & read data, but it would fail on delete:

Oct 22 12:03:27 arts[4036:13] NOTE-1 File created

Oct 22 12:03:29 arts[4036:13] NOTE-1 File pre-committed

Oct 22 12:03:37 arts[4036:13] WARNING

    Device [store1:Centera] raised exception while performing method [DeleteFile]

        Could not delete file

            Delete failed [0:C0GTAJ8RCIR73e3FAR1EP9DFUQRG414HTDB0ED0D11FFGF7J88PD5]

                [-10204] [FP_OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED] [The use of this operation is restricted (transid='VON1/22/DELETE_CLIP')]

When I tried again later in the afternoon I get:
Oct 22 16:21:04 arts[4036:13] NOTE-1 File created
Oct 22 16:21:30 arts[4036:13] NOTE-1 File pre-committed
Oct 22 16:21:54 arts[4036:13] NOTE-1 File deleted
Is this a normal on the test clusters, that sometimes it just feels not like working? Or am I missing something here? Unfortunately this process was running without any SDK logging, and now everything is fine again, so I have very little other information to go by.
Cheers,
-daniel

Hi Daniel - this is not normal behavior. It is possible that there were CentraStar updates being performed at that time or nodes were offline which prevented the deletion, or that the profile being used had temporarily had the Delete capability disabled.
