[Bug 1917323] Re: [NetApp][Ussuri] cifs error since ontap 9.5: Failed to set preferred DC

[Ionut-Madalin Balutoiu]

Hello Corey,

I've updated the bug description with the [Test Case] needed. I'm happy
to test it when the fix is ready.

** Description changed:

  starting with ONTAP 9.5 I get
  
  And indeed, the ONTAP API for cifs-domain-preferred-dc-add has a new
  required boolean option "skip-config-validation"
  
  [Impact]
  Using new releases of NetApp ONTAP (>= 9.5) leads to the following bug in the Manila code:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/manila/+bug/1887643
  
  As Maurice Escher states, this results in the following error when
  creating a CIFS share with security service server set to some value:
  
  NetApp API failed. Reason - 13006:Missing input: skip-config-validation
  
  Only Ussuri distro packages are affected by this issue.
  
  This bug can be reproduced only when using `cifs` shares, and only when
  the driver handles shares servers.
  
  The issue was already fixed upstream, and it's even included in the
  latest Ussuri minor release: 10.0.2 (or even 10.0.1). Our Ubuntu distro
  packages install 10.0.0, and do not have this issue fixed.
  
  [Test Case]
+ * Create an environment with Manila NetApp ONTAP driver and DHSS (driver handles shares enabled). This also requires an external Active Directory for the CIFS shares.
+ * Create a new Manila CIFS share, given a proper Manila security service defined with the Active Directory info.
+ * Bug is reproduced.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  If the ontapi_version version was not calculated correctly the skip-config-validation config will result in the same error reported in this bug. Testing this code path will help mitigate this.
