Snap Manager for Oracle (Unix) clone wizard failing

jmcsweeney — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:17:33 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to use the smo clone feature.

When trying to create a clone it fails with the below output.

Anybody got any ideas?

thanks,

What OS platform and version are you running?

This is your first clone attempt? or this was working for you at some point?

Are you cloning to the same host or another?

Having the sd-trace.log for the snap connect would be useful. For that matter, a snapdrive.dc and smo operation dump for the clone attempt is best.

If you can open a support case and upload those logs to it, let me know the case number.

thanks for the reply, this is my first attempt, never had it working.

NetApp Log # 2001311605 (i've uploaded plenty of logs, don't seem to be getting anywhere tho)

OS is RHEL 5.4

SMO 3.0.3

Cloning to same host.

thanks,

I passed some information yesterday through to the TSE that is assisting you and in regards to partitioned disk as well as making sure your multipath.conf (in particular user_friendly_names) is configured per the SDU Install and Admin guide.

After those checks and restart of mpio and sdu, if there is still a problem upload a new snapdrive.dc.

hi,

I updated multipath.conf and restarted.

Now the clone errors is as follows::

any ideas.

/data06 is where I have specified the new data mountpoints

I have a client with the same issue:

We deleted the Oracle initialization files but SMO still sees the destination as existing... perhaps moving [/oracleData_BETA10] elsewhere? Could this be a multipath issue as noted up-thread?
