Answer :
Of course since the other servers in the cluster can see the disks but
cannot access them, advfsd likes to complain about it. The trick is to
either stop the advfsd from starting, but I use Performance Manager so this
wasn't a good solution OR add a file called /var/opt/advfsd/disks.ignore and
add to it the list of disks advfsd shouldn't scan. E.G.
/var/opt/advfsd/disks.ignore
