Jordi,

I took a look through the log and you appear to be having a connection error with your storage system.

From the log:

########## Gathering Information for 10.10.231.231:vol_Notes ##########

[Fri Mar 22 14:04:16 2013] INFO: Performing Snapshot Inventory for vol_Notes on 10.10.231.231

It seems you are having a communication error with your storage.

Is this a vfiler by chance? this message is also present:

[Fri Mar 22 14:04:16 2013] WARN: Unable to determine if connection is a vFiler. There is a communications issue and TRANSPORT is not set to HTTP, if the connection is a vfiler HTTP is required

Try setting communications to HTTP and see if that resolves the issue.

Looking through the log the Domino pieces appear to be working correctly - The storage communication is where you are having problems.

This message:

Transactional Logging must be enabled for this function.

Error getting transaction log style.

ERROR_CODE:0

Just means that transaction logging for Domino is not enabled - It is not an issue. ERROR_CODE: 0 indicates that all is well.

Thanks,

John

Thank you.

The connection seems to be okay, as I see asup generation message in the log.

The httpd settings are also correct.

Please provide me with the below output.

Getafix-daily.conf edit this file look for a value called NTAP_TIMEOUT

Increase this value from 60 seconds to 300 seconds.

JORDIPERA · ‎2013-03-23

Hi,

thaks for all, i send it to you any information

Jordi,

I am seeing from the logs that the Domino plugin does not complete it tasks within 15 minutes (900 seconds).

Please edit the config file and set this value SC_AGENT_TIMEOUT=3600

Please let us know how the backups behave after this value is set.

Thanks much.
