I have configured a VMware backup using storage services.
I used the backup then mirrror policies and attach it to a storage services.
I created a ressource pool for the backup destination and another for the mirror destination.
I also created a provisionning policy to provision a secondary volume for backup.
When i do a test conformance here is the result :
Provisioning a new flexible volume (mirror destination) failed.
No physical resources exist, so Provision a new flexible volume (mirror destination) of size 927350041kb FAS02:/backup_vol_esx_ds1 into node 'fas01_ds1:Mirror' and then attempt to create a mirror relationship.
Storage system : 'FASPRA02.abw.lan'(135): - "Flex Clone" license is not installed on storage system 'FASPRA02.abw.lan'(135).
More details
Suggestions related to storage system 'FASPRA02.abw.lan'(135): - Install "Flex Clone" license on storage system 'FASPRA02.abw.lan'(135) and refresh host information either by executing 'dfm host discover' CLI or navigate to 'Hosts > Storage Systems' page in Management Console and press 'Refresh' button.
I dont understand why i need a Flex Clone license... because i want to do a snapvault of my source volume and then mirror the snapvault volume to another site.
The snapvault backup is ok...
After this i have created manualy a snapmirror destination volume and have initialized it... but i cant import it to my dataset...when i go on the external relationship tab and clic on import my dataset isnt in the list, and OCUM don't detect this relationship automaticaly.
More details attached to this post.
Thank you.
Yannick.

Re: Problem with OnCommand 5.2, backup then mirror of VMware Objects
Page 70 of the OnCommand Unified Manager Provisioning and Data Protection Online Help For 7-Mode for Use with Core Package 5.2explains the need for this license:
I have read this part today, but what I don't understand is why flexclone is needed if I want to mirror my backup to my secondary system using snapmirror ?
So if I have no flexclone license I have to create one job for the backup with storage services and one job (standard) to mirror my backup ?
I can't do this in one job ?
Isn't there a method to import my mirror relationship in this dataset after manually creation ? Using CLI ? When I try to import it I can't see my dataset.
