Sporadic upload failures to ONTAP S3 NAS buckets (HTTP 500)
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- ONTAP S3
- S3 bucket type: nas
- Filesystem containing bucket: FlexGroup
- Upload path: inside qtree
- Quota: applied to the qtree to which uploads fail
Issue
- When attempting to use S3Browser to upload files into a qtree, sporadic failures occur
- S3Browser gives little info, a message of the following form:
- InternalError: We encountered an internal error. Please try again. TaskID: <number>
- A packet capture shows that the HTTP server returns STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR (HTTP status code 500) in response to the HTTP PUT request
- Upload attempts do not always fail. Therefore, repeating an upload may eventually allow it to succeed
