sv-smvi fails at post backup with error

ravindhar — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:20:13 GMT

ERROR: ZAPI connection to vfiler XXXX failed: in ZAPI: :invoke, cannot connect to socket.

Above error i see in the report directory.

In the backup log entries

c:\reports" ERROR: ZAPI connection to vfiler xxxxxx failed: in Zapi::invoke, cannot connect to socket

2012-08-29 08:34:35,686 PROGRESS - Script sv-smvi.cmd failed with code 11 in phase POST_BACKUP

I checked the error description in the sv-smvi document

A NetApp API initialization call failed. Confirm the

-svuser and -svpasswd options are correct, and that you are running at least version 7.2 of Data ONTAP

Both the vfilers are added to the domain smvi is using a domain service account and the user name and passowrd has been added in the script sv-smvi.cmd. I have also added the domain user service account in to the vfilers.

Any help

Just to give an update the guys who have viewed this question the problem is resolved.

The resolution was I have not turned on options httpd.enable to ON on the destination vFiler. Once turned on that resolved the issue cannot connect on socket.
