vastool 'attrs' command fails with an LDAP error. (4281467)

vastool -u host/ attrs -q -g GROUPNAME member

ERROR: VAS_ERR_NOT_FOUND: Object not found, no LDAP results returned

Caused by:

LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT: No entry found on server

However on other servers the same command succeeds.

Wrong data was in the cache and not updating correctly.

Run a vastool flush with the -r option:

vastool flush -r groups

This command removes all groups out of the cache.  Verify by running the attrs command again.

vastool -d6 -u host/ attrs -q -g GROUPNAME member 2>&1 | tee /tmp/group-attrs.success.txt
vastool -d6 -u host/ attrs -q -g GROUPNAME member 2>&1 | tee /tmp/group-attrs.failure.txt

We noted from the above data that the failed attrs command was checking in the wrong OU. Debug Level 6 shows ldap queries.
