Solved: OnCommand 5.0 installation issue - Page 3

Hi

Was excited over OnCommand getting released before schedule because this promises to bring SMHV Snapvault capability. But maybe too early?

Installing the Core Package on my recently set up DFM server worked flawlessly. But now I'm having trouble installling the the Host Package on the first of a 3-node Hyper-V cluster getting no usable information from the installer that suddenly rolls back after about 20minutes of installing. The MSI logfile as only source for what's going on is huge and I can't seem to find the culprit.

Altough I find the documentation quite lacking I followed all the requirements to no avail and of course beeing so new there's nothing yet in the Knowledgebase.

Moreover my SnapManager for Hyper-V backups on the cluster now fails on this first node and Snapdrive can't list connected LUNs anymore.

Has somebody else started OnCommand 5.0 implementation (testing)?

I've attached the msi-log file if anybody cares to have a look...

Kind regards

Lyndon

Hey everybody

Just wanted to let you know that everything worked out now. After uninstalling SD and SMHV and then installing OnCommand Host Package all Host Services including the cluster name were registered and authorized in the OnCommand console and the first snapshot backup ran successfully last night, consisting of 27 VMs distributed over three CSVs!

Now I ough out figure out configuring the automatic transfer of the snapshots from primary to secondary via SnapVault.

Although NetApp persists on the simplicity of policy-driven management, I find the dependencies between schedules, datasets, resourcepools, storage services and protection schedules quite complex.

But thats another topic...

Thank you everybody for trying to help with my issue!

Kind regards

Lyndon
