(courtesy of knargi  )   There have been instances where the R/O flag on a domain is not properly cleaned up after a SIQ policy is deleted.  the various 'isi sync..' commands don't appear to solve this, so it may be necessary to manually remove the domain restriction from the directory in question.   Note, the following steps should ONLY be performed when under supervision by Isilon support and/or escalations:     SSH as root into the cluster in question run:  isi domain list --long You will get some output with all of the domain ID’s and it will tell you if its locked by smartlock or syncIQ. isi domain list –long   ID    | Root Path   | Type              | Override Ret. Date | Default Min. Ret. ------+-------------+-------------------+--------------------+------------------ 65536 | /ifs/target | SyncIQ | None               | None   Find the domain ID of the job that you want to remove and then run the following command /usr/libexec/isilon/isi_domain –x   In this example /usr/libexec/isilon/isi_domain –65536   That should clear the R/O flag on the directory, and allow R/W activity on the folder.
Although SyncIQ policy is deleted after failover&failback, read-only attribute remained on target dirctory. It seems that syncIQ proccess did not complete correctly. And "isi domain list" displayed Incomplete entries as below. //*************************************// rdciq1-1# pwd /ifs/sync/source1 rdciq1-1# touch bbb touch: bbb: Read-only file system rdciq1-1# isi domain ls Root Path         | Type ------------------+------------------ /ifs/sml/a1       | SmartLock /ifs/sync/source1 | SyncIQ,Incomplete /ifs/sync/source1 | Incomplete rdciq1-1# isi version Isilon OneFS v7.0.1.6 B_7_0_1_181(RELEASE): 0x7000150006000B5:Tue May 21 20:16:36 PDT 2013    root[NAME]-04.west.isilon.com:/build/mnt/obj.RELEASE/build/mnt/src/sys/IQ.amd64.release //*************************************//  Does anyone know how to clear read-only attribute on directories or delete domain entries forcibly ?
How to clear read-only attribute on directory ?
