Hi All
I have seen such post before on this platform and I thought I must explain my situation.
FAS 3040, NFS, ISCSI, Proliant 460c, ESX3.5U4, SMVI v1.2, 4 datastores, 4 SMVI Jobs for each datastore, Virtual Vcenter 2.5 U4 server on 5th datastore
I have few issues with SMVI.
1. it randomly will not backup some Ctrix servers (servers are not busy) and couple of app servers. unable to commit snaps. I have implemented best practices around that. have not installed EHU yet. everyday I will have atleast 3 servers failing. don't know where error is? who do I need to talk VMWARE or NETAPP??
2. some time backup job status will say "running" but it has finished. I have been told a trick, stop SMVI service and rename crash folder. I have done this 3 times in less than a month of installation. is there any patch which can fix this issue or something I need to do to help the situation?
3. cannot restore a vm using SMVI which has Snaps attached to it. I have tested 2 times and machine which has snaps attached restore will fail with an error. do you know, if I cannot restore VM which has snaps attached and this is how SMVI works?
thanks a lo for help
Regards
Ajay
