Hi,
we are currently investigating why our VSC 6.2.1P1 doesnt backup VMs anymore as soon as they were migrated once. Migration processes are complete but during backup cycle there are log-entries like: WARN - Virtual machine {vmname} is currently migrating and will not be backed up
(Filer FAS8020 with clustered Ontap 8.3.2P9 with NFS-exports for vsphere 6.5 hosts, vcenter 6.5 vcs-aplliance, no snapcenter, just smvi-backup)
Now our problem might be the result of an uncomlete detection / integration of our netapp-filer. We added the filer to VSC by using the FAS-cluster management IP interface using an administrative account.
- VSC Storage system summary shows all privileges are allowed.
- "Related objects" of that storage system lists no hosts, no SVMs and no NAS datastores.
- "Related objects" of that storage system lists all interfaces, except cluster management and interconection interfaces. The nfs-export interfaces with our vmware-volumes-SVMs are listet as "Data-LIF".
Adding the storage system or manually selecting "Update Host and Storage data"triggers task "Netapp Storage discovery" which completes in about 2-3 seconds. This task should recognize three of ten NetappSVMs and ten NFS/NAS-datastores and six VM hosts which are using these SVMs and datastores, but it doesnt.
Any ideas were to look or what could be the reason?
