Hi All,

My Community Conversations Can Be Seen Here As Well

I am working on Quota creation part and noticed it is working on SERVER_A , but the same code is failing on SERVER_B. post those failing I checked manually and it is working file with same account. Please find the error message below.

=========ansible.cfg File Running From AAP===============

two thing to watch out is, 1) file creation was successful , in both cases without any issue , but failing while quota creation. 2) SERVER_A is at onefs 9.2.1.15 ----- successful SERVER_B is at onefs 9.4.0.14 ----- failed

I believe there was a bug in the OneFS API with version 9.4.x.x to the effect that quota API queries didn't return a key "description" for quota in the JSON response if no description was available in the quota entry; in the API spec this key is defined as required, thus classes from the Python SKD are expecting it and they fail in this case with an error like "Invalid value for description, must not be None"; it has been fixed on OneFS 9.5;

Hello @Javedkhansiddiqui,

Please use the latest version of the Isilon SDK (0.3.0.1). This issue has been resolved for version 9.4.x.x as well.
