SMHV SnapInfo Directory Path on CIFS Share Error

[akromat_lantec]

Hi,

i´m using SnapManager hyper-V Version 2.11.2630 with SMB3.

i installed snapdrive and SMHV. After adding my host i try to configure the snapinfo directory path.

Thats why i create an volume and a share for it and select this share but i get an error, that this share is not on an netapp.

I´m only using SMB3, no iSCSI or FC.

Any Ideas ?

Hi

Refer link https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1185451/html/GUID-1430DC89-19F6-468C-9081-61EB1F5A93C6.html to set the Snapinfor directory. Please check Manage Storage Connections option at the host level.

Hi,

i found this before. I can broiwse my share. The connections are ok. But if i click on ok, it states that is not on NetApp Share. But this is not true. Is the Name of the Share or special permission needed ?

Problem fixed.

Storageconnection not to Cluster but to SVM and some reboots...Bad documentation, sorry.

correct.

SnapDrive documentation mentions this on page 12 of the SnapDrive for Windows 7.1.2 Administration Guide for SMB3 pdf:

"In clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 and later, you are not required to have cluster credentials before configuring or using SnapDrive."

Kind Regards,

Domenico.
