Try it with a directory and not with a file?

Are all of your nodes connected to the network?  Or do you have NANON or NANOAN configuration?

Running Isilon OneFS in "Not All Nodes On Network" (NANON) and "Not All Nodes On All Networks" (NANOAN) configurations

sluetze, yes I tried doing the entire ctptest directory just to see what would happen, but got the same message about cptest not being a directory...

oyo44, all nodes definitely have access to the same network over 10GigE... I'm not isolating a given node and am not doing a split network at this time (using the gigabit connections).  I'm not using LACP either, each node has 2 independent 10GigE connection paths.

My network has pretty strict firewall rules in place, and I've only opened up the smartconnect pool0 that I consider the mgmt pool (with access to SSH and WebGUI).  I'm initiating the archive via one of the addresses on this pool0 as root (system access zone), I assume it doesn't care about any of the other access zones I have defined.

Thanks Phil, that did it.  I see now that I needed to define a VALID file pool policy for my files/directory before I could manually archive it.  Your file must meet the criteria you set for the policy even to manually archive.  I figured regardless of the policy if I tell it to archive, it would archive.  Apparently not.

Interestingly enough, once I had a valid policy that "not a directory" error went away on archive (both firing the job and doing it manually).  However, when I did a recall of the files, I got the "not a directory" message again in the logs, but the recall appears to have worked just fine.  Not sure what that message is trying to say, but once things are set correctly, it seems not to matter much if it appears in the logs or doesn't.

Thanks again, saved me a call into support.

Could you file a SR via support anyway for the wrong Error-Coding / Error-Message?

Imho they should file a bug for this.

Yes, I can do that but before I do is there anywhere else I should check logs for this operation to see if a better error is thrown?  I was looking in /var/log/messages.  Since I don't get much there when the operation is a success (on archive) I wonder if it is logged somewhere else as well?  Anyone know?

Ryan_CSULB,

do a ls -lo on Isilon and if a files shows sstubbed, then it's archived.

Example:

# ls -lo
