Hi,
I've been trying to get vaulting of a vfiler with Oracle data on it's volumes to work but no backups were ever registered in Protection Manager so PM never knew there was anything to protect.I had referenced the vfiler using it's IP address - for NTAP_USERS, VOLUMES and NTAP_DFM_DATA_SET.
Once I went into the config and changed the IP address to the vfiler hostname, vaulting started working. Backups gets registered and are then vaulted per the Protection Policy in PM.
Is this a known limitation? That vfilers must be referenced to by hostname rather than IP?
Here's from the debug logs when creating a backup and it's apparent some info is missing in the failing one:
