Hi together,
I've got a small problem and I need your help with an Clone job in SnapCenter this job clone some db's on a MSSQL instance and should map
this automatically to an different MSSQL server the cloned databases. This job was still running very well and it was really helpful to have a temporally
database environment. But after an Update migration from vmware 5.5 to 6 including the migration from vSphere vCenter on Windows to vShere vCenter appliance
it's not possible to run this job successful. But other task like backup and so on works with VSV, also the connection to SnapCenter Server is OK.
We are using SnapCenter (v 1.1.02958) and on a different windows server the VSC v6.2.1.
If I run the job manually that means prepare on the netapp an new clone and present for vmware, attach in vmware and extend manually on
the virtual machine a disc from this new datastore it works without problems.
Here the failure if I run the clone job
Failed to Mount/Attach Disk:- java.rmi.RemoteException: Exception in WSClient.invoke:; nested exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException
I'am also able to work in vSphere with the VSC for backup's but strainge is i get for one machine also a failure message if I want to
attach this machine to an existing VSC Backup job.
faultCode:Server.Processing faultString:'java.lang.RuntimeException : java.rmi.RemoteException: Exception in WSClient.invoke:; nested exception is:
java.lang.NullPointerException' faultDetail:'null'
This are the step's which i still tested.
- Restart server (destination MSSQL Server, VSC Server, SnapCenter Server)
- Reinstall the SnapCenter Add-in on the destination machine
- Release and cleanup all Clones and mounting points and so on
- Shut down the destination machine and clone this maschine to release all connection and run only this machine
(delete the old machine)
- Recreate the Clone job in SnapCenter
but all without success 😞
Did anybody have an idea!?
Thanks a lot for your help
Michael
