SnapCenter 4.2.0 -> vSphere 6.5.0 Update 3 - Registering

I have a new installation of SnapManager 4.2.0 on Microsoft Windows 2019 Server. We are trying to add our vSphere environment and we keep getting the following error:

 

"Failed to register host: XXXX Error: Unable to connect to the remote server. 

 

The VC and the SnapManager server are on the same VLAN and no firewall is blocking. Any suggestions?

SnapCreator changing from a Vault to a Mirror and Vault relationship type

$
0
0

Hi,

We have a Snap Creator workflow using a Vault XDP relationship type and we are planning to convert that relationship to a Mirror and Vault XDP type, which is became the default with later releases of ONTAP.

In Snap Creator, we had only the Vault tab configured and that worked fine.  The workflow broke and backups are failing after converting the relationship from Vault to "Mirror and Vault".  We changed the Snap Creator configuration from Vault to Mirror but that only updates the destination DP volume but not pushing the snapshots from the source to the destination, leaving us without the backup solution and ability to recover from an earlier snapshot at the destination.

What are we doing wrong?

Thanks

 

Snapcenter same installation different Installation paths

$

Hi All 

Can someone explain to me following behaviour:

 

Snapcenter test-environment:

Version: 4.1.0.1738

Installation path Web_App: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter

Repository path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository

 

Snapcenter production-environment:

Version: 4.1.0.1738

Installation path Web_App: C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapCenter WebApp

Repository path: C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository

 

The Problem is that prod snapcenter search for new plug-ins in path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository" and  finds nothing, because the repository is in an other path (see above):

 "Could not find a part of the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository\cf.xml'"  in logfile "C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapCenter WebApp\App_Data\log\SnapManagerWeb.log"

 

The effect of this is: the current plugin shows as unsupported plugin and a new one after a software update isn't recognized.

When I copy the entire contents from "C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SnapCenter\Repository\" then all things works as expected.

 

TIA

Thomas

 
 
 
 

 

SnapCenter 4.2 backup job triggers emergency event on NetApp Filers

$

0

Hi,

we just upgraded our SnapCenter from 4.1.1P4 to 4.2. We use Data Broker Appliance 1.0 to back up VMs on Vmware vSphere. Migration was successful and backup jobs are running, but with every successful backup we see an event of severity 'emergency' on our filers, like that:

 

app.log.emerg: ltnadb1: SnapCenter VMware OVA Software 4.2: (0) Info: Backup job [32], Host Name [ltnadb1], Host OS [Linux], Resource Group [Daily Backup of VMs], Resource Group Size [68], Policy [SMVI_DAILY__2], status [completed successfully], Completion Time [00:01:44]

 

Everything else looks fine, this may be just an informational event, but severity is of type 'emergency'. Anyone else who has seen such behavior? vCenter is 6.7U2, filer OS is Ontap 9.3P13.

Regards, Frank

Mount existing SnapClone to another ESXi host

We are on Snapcenter: 4.1.1 P4

vCenter: 6.0.0 9313458

ESXi: 6.0.0 10474991

VM Guest: 2012R2

 

I have multiple ESXi hosts and and Windows VM's.

I have a specific VM that is a SQL server and it has regular VMdk's and also snap clones from a production SQL VM. The clones are mounted from a datastore sc-123456789 (these are the .mdf files and clones from production) and another one is sc-987654321 (these are the .ldf files and clones from production).

 

I need to move the VM from Host 68 to host 69 but can't because some of the the vmdk's are on snap clone luns from datastores sc-123456789 & sc-987654321 and are only mounted to the ESXi host the VM is currently running on and no other ESXi hosts have these datastores mounted.

 

My question is, how can I mount the snapclone datastores sc-123456789 & sc-987654321 to another ESXi host so I can vMotion the guest VM to another host?

 

Or is that even possible??

 

Mods, if I posted this in the wrong place, please move to appropriate location.

 

Thanks

NDMP ARCserve backups going over the network and not the fibre

$

So i have a customer who can backup direct from the NetApp to the tape libray of the fibre with great performance. The issue is when they try and do the same backup from the Arcserve it goes over the copper network.

Customer states that the fibre zones are all correct and the relevant WWPN's are all listed under the zones.

customer is running ONTAP 9.3P10.

Does anyone know of known bugs that would prevent the NDMP backups running over the fibre from a physical server running Arcserve backup software.

 

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

SnapCenter LDAP(s) settings?

According to our security team the SnapCenter server (4.1) uses plain text ldap authentication for the Windows runas accounts defined for the plugin for MSSQL. Does anyone know if it is possible to configure ldaps (tcp/636) within SnapCenter? I can't seem to find any configurable options regarding ldap authentication within the GUI or configuration files.

SnapVault alternative?

$
0
0

Hi,

ONTAP 9.6

 

I'm currently using the following solution:

  • Async SnapMirror A => B
  • SnapVault A => C

No issues here with maintaining SV relationships when I fail over from A to B and B to A. However, I want to introduce SnapMirror Synchronous. I can do this:

 

  • SnapMirror Synchronous A => B
  • SnapVault A => C

But every time I fail over from A to B and B to A, I will have to re-establish and re-baseline all of my SV relationships due to the fact that SM-S does not replicate the baseline snapshot.

 

Is anyone using a non-NetApp alternative that will fit into the solution which will copy file data from the primary (A or B) down to C? My plan is to then use local snapshots on C to maintain the required retetnion.

 

  • SnapMirror Synchronous A => B
  • Non-NetApp Alternative? A => C

Thanks

configuring DP Snapmirror with DataONTAP. I want to temporarily mount NFS on the DestinationVol side for ESXi DataStore.

In this case, should I do "Snapmirror break"? Or have to "Snapmirror delete"?

*The basic settings such as junction path policy and data protocol are consistent with the source side.

 

Netapp Data Broker 1.0.1 - prescripts and postscripts not working

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the prescript and postscript option provided by the SnapCenter Plugin for VMware vSphere.

 

As described in the "Data Protection Guide for VMs, Datastores, and VMDKs using the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere" on page 28, a perl script can be placed on the Netapp Data Broker Appliance. This script can be specified in the backup policy.

 

This works fine,  script is executed BUT

 

When I look at the environment variables that are available during prescript and postscript I see this:

prescript:

BACKUP_PHASE=PRE_BACKUP

 

postscript:

BACKUP_PHASE=PRE_BACKUP

 

During the Prescript and Postscript phase I see the same value for variable "Backup_Phase". For the postscript this is not correct.

Also the other environment variables mentioned on page 29 are not available.

 

Question: Can someone confirm if this is a know issue and/or this is going to be fixed ?
