I am resetting all local NetApp cluster passwords to upgrade the hash from MD5 to SHA512 and I am down to my last one - the local service account used by SnapDrive for the Transport Protocol Settings. We only have SnapDrive running on Windows Failover Clusters, and only for LUN management (due to a SnapCenter bug I'm awaiting a fix on). We use SnapCenter on all systems, including the ones with SnapDrive, for backups. Within this context, is there any risk to changing the password for the service account used in the Transport Protocol Settings dialog box, and then going one system at a time to update the new password in the dialog box? I don't want to get in a situation where (a) SnapDrive tries to connect and it affects LUN functionality, and/or (b) SnapDrive tries to connect from systems I haven't updated the password for yet, and it locks out the service account. Any recommendations?

I have to do some Commvault configuration work for a NetApp CIFS setup. I was reviewing the Lab On Demand for Commvault, specifically the difference between Snap Backup and normal backup. While I see that the Snap Backup is quicker and efficient. The Snapshot backup is on the primary NetApp. If I lose that snapshot, I cant restore from it? Plus I don't want to retain many backup copies on the Primary as it's not classed as the backup NetApp. If I use the normal backup process, I know it takes longer but the data is at my backup location. Therefore, would I use a Backup Copy job to copy the Intellisnap created snapshot to my backup location? Thanks

Hi there when viewing job details in snapcenter the start and end times are often (but not always) reversed. see snip example below. it starts at 4:17 and finished at 4:15? Could this be a time issues between the SC servers and target hosts? Also is there anyway to get snapcenter to alter its date format to UK rather than US? Yes the Server is already UK ;o) Thank you

Trying out the MSSQL plugin for the first time but I have an issue.
Discovery works fine and all the databases come back ok but there is an error.
Not available for backup. DB is not on NetApp storage, auto-close is enabled or in recovery mode.
Its not autoclose or recovery so its obviously a storage issue.
Its a Vmware environment using NFS with all Vm's pretty much shared across a number of datastores.
What exactly has to be done to make Snapcenter happy, does the SQL logs and data have to be in a seperate NFS datastore or something along these line?
Cheers

Hi, Data Broker 1.0.1 connect to vCenter 6.0U3 successful, but failed when add Storage in vSphere web client and display "Received fatal alert handshake_failure". I try search google and NetApp KB but cannot found solution, any idea? We try use HTTP or HTTPS add Storage, it was same problem. Best regards, Chung
