Hi all,
When I run the following command -
C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapDrive\sdcli.exe snap mount -r
mosssqlp1 -k F -s sqlsnap__mosssqlp1__recent -d Q
I get the following error -
Initializing...Unable to connect to the virtual disk in snapshot.
Error : Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
Which is quite different from -
Error description: No space left on device.
Which is what I get on a full volume - so its completely
understandable. The 'Error : Not enough storage is available to
complete this operation' would appear to be a red-herring (ie nothing
to do with storage or the SAN per se but some oddball way of Windows
2003 telling me theres some other problem.
The annoying error seems to indicate a possible rpc problem in Windows
rather than with SnapDrive itself. The same script on the same machine
will happily mount snaps from other machines for backup purposes and I
can't really pinpoint why its not mounting these snaps. If it does
turn out to be an rpc issue could it be that the domain account on the
server under which SnapDrive runs cannot be validated on this box ?
I still haven't got my head around how sdcli talks to the SAN - if I
have a backup server mounting snapshots of luns being used on other
systems does it need to be able to talk to the system using the luns -
why can't it deal direct with the SAN ?
Thanks in advance for any tips or toubleshooting suggestions.
Cheers,
Raj.
