SnapManager 7 & Exchange 2013 erroring on backups [ Edited ]

[#1]

Hi

We have a Server 2008 R2 virtual machine with Exchange 2013 CAS with SnapManager 7 running twice a day as a scheduled task to activated the back up.

The issue we have is out of 14 back ups running in a week, at least 3 or 4 of them wont backup and send the email because SnapMgrService.exe crashes. Normally the SnapManagerService has stopped so a restart of that and then starting the schedule task aagin will then get the backup working, but obviosuly this isnt ideal. There seems to be no patern to when it will fail, sometimes its the early morning backup some times its the lunch time backup.

We do get the below errors come up in the event application log regarding SnapMgrService.exe, i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and has fixed it?

We got the same problem on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 CU6, Snapdrive 7.1 and SME 7.0. I tried SME 7.1 before but this didn't work at all (could not even list the LUNs in the backup configuration wizard)...

NetApp FAS2240-2, 7-mode, OnTAP 8.1.4P1

Setup:

1 volume containing 4 LUNs (1x Logs and 3x Mailbox store). Snapinfo dir is on the Logs LUN.

3 errors in the application event log during the verification of the log files for the second exchange store. The snapshot on the volume is present, all preceding tasks finished successful. The backup is not listed in the "Restore" menu in SME.

I am also seeing this result in a very similar environment. Has there been any fix? I am about to open a case with NetApp support. We are running the following versions of software. Some backups complete and some backups fail randomly.

cDOT 8.2.2P2

SnapDrive 7.0.3

SME 7.0.0.1331

Server 2012 R2

Exchange 2013 SP1 CU6

Regards,

Jim

This is because of BUG id 825515. http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=825515

 SnapManager for Exchange 6.1D1 as well as 7.1 contains a fix for this issue.

[#5]

We are running 7.1 though so 6.1D1 is older.

So if there is a fix for 6 why does 7.1 have a problem?
