Hi All,
I am part of a data migration project to move large amount +- 20TB data from NetApp to NetApp. I have configured and mounted the CIF shares on the source and target NetApp FAS 8020 Storage.
I am trying to install XCP File Analystics on Rocky Linux 9 box, I was able to activate xcp and install the required services (HTTPD and Postgresql). However the service xcp is failing with errors. see below outcome of "service xcp status" command. I have attached here the xcp logdump.log file. I have followed the instructions on the guide so I am not sure what I am missing.
[ root@localhost home]# service xcp status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status xcp.service xcp.service - XCP systemd service.

Solved! See The Solution
Listed some help below, let us know if that helps. I haven't used this app but just wondering as you are doing CIFS migration, you could also try to install the file analytics on a windows box. Also, as I read, it is possible to run XCP SMB for data migration without installing XCP File Analytics in the Linux host.

The error says NFS isn't accessible but according to your description you're not supposed to mount an NFS, but SMB, share.
