Unable to Disable SVM Auditing Due to Missing Audit Consolidation Job
Applies to
- Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP(Optional)
- ONTAP 9.17.1PX
Issue
Attempts to disable auditing on an SVM (vserver) fail with an error similar to:
Error: command failed: Failed to disable auditing for Vserver "svm1". Reason: Audit consolidation job not present for the Vserver and one of the possible reasons might be SnapMirror break operation in Vserver DR setup. Retry after some time.
Additional symptoms:
vserver auditshow indicates auditing is enabled.- The consolidation job is missing from the job schedule (
job show *cons*returns no entries). - Audit logs are not being moved to the audit log directory.
- The operational state in the internal database (
debug smdb table vserver_audit_config_db show-fields opstateshows as “normal”). - No SnapMirror relationships or volume full conditions are blocking the operation.
