Connect to the Isilon system using Computer Management, connect to another computer, IP of the system zone, Shared folders, shares, properties and try to set permissions for the share/security there. If there is no share for folder production, create a share and then set the Security permissions and you can delete the share later.
OR ssh to isilon, while in cli list the users and groups. "isi auth users list" and "isi auth groups list" make sure they are there, then set the ownership using "chown user1:production /ifs/data/production" and set the permissions using "chmod xxx /ifs/data/production" where xxx is the unix permissions.
I have come across this issue in the past when I configured isilon cluster to use with data domain as a backup location and was able to change the permissions thru cli.
adding users or groups using Computer Management did not work. Same error.
I checked users and groups with "isi auth users list" and "isi auth groups list". The customers local Isilon users and groups do appear there. After creating a folder with windows explorer I did set the ACLs with "chmod +a group GROUPNAME allow generic_all /ifs/FOLDERNAME". After that they appear on security permission in windows explorer. It is even possible to change the user rights and inheritance settings. Also it is possible to remove the user using windows explorer. Adding users with windows explorer is still not possible. That's a workaround for me to get the system working, but the customer is not amused about it.
