Issue

SCW reports a critical error similar to the following example in the Windows Application Event log.

Example 1:

Critical SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: entry doesn't exist at System.Management.Automation.Internal.PipelineProcessor.SynchronousExecuteEnumerate(Object input, Hashtable errorResults, Boolean enumerate) at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalPipeline.InvokeHelper() at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalPipeline.InvokeThreadProc()

Example 2:

Critical SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: entry doesn't exist at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineBase.Invoke(IEnumerable input) at SnapDrive.Nsf.Common.PowerShell.PSHelper.RunCommand(Command command,IEnumerable input)

Example 3:

Critical SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] The running command stopped because the preference variable ""ErrorActionPreference"" or common parameter is set to Stop: =================================================================================== | This cmdlet must be directed to a data vserver. You are currently connected | | to the cluster admin vserver.

at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineBase.Invoke(IEnumerable input) at SnapDrive.Nsf.Common.PowerShell.PSHelper.RunCommand(Command command, IEnumerable input)

Outputs similar to the following example can be seen in the SCWDebug.log.

Example 1:

Verbose SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] ex.Message : The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: entry doesn't exist Verbose SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] No retry condition match found or max retry reached.
