Isilon is NOT supported.
You can place a Windows Server in front of it to make it work.

This is from a partner mailing list from yesterday from Darren:
 

"Placeholders can not be moved on to Isilon. Isilon is not a supported platform for placeholders. Only Internet shortcuts will work on there. So you cannot use fsautility for placeholder migration. "

Hey OP.

 

We saw this issue hash out on another forum and the answer MichelZ gave is proper. If you ahve other quesitons or concerns related to this than please let us know. If not can you flag this as resolved so that people trying to help can direct their attention to those that require it.

 

An interesting side note about internet shortcuts for placeholders that I had not thought about until this topic came up... If you end up using them it is important to ensure you users are aware that saving the file will likely go to their local temp directory and not the source where the interenet shortcut originated. Very logical... totally escaped me when thinking about these and I can see that causing issues for some.
