LOGIN-4.21.15-400: A network drive cannot be mapped to a drive

    [ROOT G:=NWSYDCL001/APPS]

fix

To map drives to a clustered enabled resource a specific syntax must be used.
map l:=.Clustername_volumename.context
Example:
map o:=.my-cluster_vol2.Corp.EMA:
map root p:=.my-cluster_vol6.CORP.EMA:\home

Or you can use the secondary IP address of the volume followed by the volume name only.
Example:
map h:= \\137.46.52.1\NSSVOL1
