I think I've got a bigger problem here. Looking at snap drive, each of the LUNs that I map to, SQL_DB, SQL_Logs, SQL_Sys, and SQL_SnapInfo are mapped three times each. I cannot figure out why this occurred.
After hours I stopped SQL services and forced a disconnection of each lun, which one disconnect disconnected all three mappings. I then re-mapped the luns, one-by-one then rebooted the server and SQL came up just fine, but again each LUN was mapped three times.
Every attempt at backups now result in the error: "Snapdrive was unable to create a snapshot copy of one or more luns that reside on different system volums. All snapshot copies that were created as part of this lun snapshot copy were deleted. The check the application event log. SnapDrive error code 0xc00402c2.
Why are luns mapped three times each? I cannot find anything unusual. Why did my backups break?
Getting worried because now I cannot backup or restore production databases.
UPDATE: The backups are now working. Basically I had it the limit of snapshots on my volumes. After cleaning up old snapshots, the backups are working again, but still I'm not able to do restores. I have a case open with NetApp on this issue.
