SnapManager 7.2 for Exchange Verification Error

[#1]

SnapManager for Exchange Version 7.2.0.1811

Hello,

We get an Verification Error after Backup for only a single LUN/Database of five LUNs/Databases. We are able to mount the Snapshot manually after.

Here some snippets out of the Log:

Hi

what do you have in H:

Do you have the Storage Layout that follow the requirments?

https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1649948/html/GUID-17489902-B584-4C23-8B57-74FC77F7D3B6.html

If you are able to mount the snapshot later, when the bakup is finished this means that the error thrown by snapdrive is correct.

You need to check in the SME report or in the SD logs where and when the snapshot (LUN) is mapped.

[#3]

Hello,

H is the Drive letter of the database 4 (mdb04).

Yes the requirements should be met. We only have one database per lun. The transaction logs and snapdrive have each it's own drive.

I don't understand why only the mdb04 has this problem. Because all 5 databases have it's own Lun and are configured the same.

[#4]

From the log you poested SD is mounthng the snapshot exchsnap__srvex01_12-19-2017_23.00.22__daily

Snapshot copies are volume-wide, so you need to be sure that items on the same volume have compatible backup schedules

have you ever tried to backup and verify the database 04 on its own?

[#5]

This is the "Daily"-Job Shedule, which produced this error. This job backups all databases in the same job.

SMEJobLauncher.exe new-backup -Server 'SRVEX01' -ManagementGroup 'Daily' -RetainDays 14 -RetainUtmDays 2 -Verify  -VerificationServer 'srvex01' -UseMountPoint  -RemoteAdditionalCopyBackup $False

What do you mean with compatible Backup shedule? I do have only one Job.

If I do a backup of only the mdb04 it succeeds and the verification works too.
