As Katie said, is there an ACL on the data already? That can certainly cause your display to give the appearance that nothing changed, when in fact the chmod was either ignored or the change you requested was merged in as an ACE into the ACL.
Look at it with ls -le /path , or if you have an ACL, and do an ls -l or ls -ld look for a plus sign to indicate that a REAL ACL exists and that the POSIX bits represented are synthetically generated based upon the ACL.

It's possible to have chmod denied or ignored for files with an ACL.
In the Web GUI check under Protocols -> ACLs
[Edit to add: The buttons are still clickable in the forum after copy-pasting from the actual GUI

Hello chughh27 ,
I am a bit confused by your question, can you clarify? I am able to apply this change to Isilon on the CLI:
mycluster-2# chmod -b -R 2755 /ifs/data/ktjoh
mycluster-2# ls -alh /ifs/data/ktjoh
total 4
drwxr-sr-x 2 root wheel 0B Oct 25 18:28 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root wheel 45B Oct 25 18:28 ..
mycluster-2# ls -led /ifs/data/ktjoh
drwxr-sr-x 2 root wheel 0 Oct 25 18:28 /ifs/data/ktjoh
OWNER: user:root
GROUP: group:wheel
SYNTHETIC ACL
0: user:root allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_write,dir_gen_execute,std_write_dac,delete_child
1: group:wheel allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_execute
2: everyone allow dir_gen_read,dir_gen_execute
Granted, I do not have any data in this directory, but it should be applicable here. Is there something else you are looking to do?

Hello Katie,
Thanks for reply. Is there any bug as I am using onefs 7.1.0.5 and same command (chmod -b -R 2755) is not making any changes.
What version of onefs have you tried ?
Thanks
