I have following scenario:
- one FlexVol with two Qtrees in it
- /vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_01
/vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_02
- /vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_01
- a VLAN with one IP-alias
- ifgrp0-27: flags=0x6b4c863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM,NOWINS> mtu 1500
inet 10.10.27.30 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.27.255
inet 10.10.27.31 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.27.255
- ifgrp0-27: flags=0x6b4c863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM,NOWINS> mtu 1500
- /etc/export
- /vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_01 -sec=sys,rw,root=10.10.27.23:10.10.27.22:10.10.27.21
/vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_02 -sec=sys,rw,root=10.10.27.23:10.10.27.22:10.10.27.21
- /vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_01 -sec=sys,rw,root=10.10.27.23:10.10.27.22:10.10.27.21
- Datastores are Mounted as folowed on all ESX Hosts (vSphere 5)
- 10.10.27.30:/vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_01
10.10.27.31:/vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_02
- 10.10.27.30:/vol/v_nfs_esxdatastore_01/q_nfs_esxdatastore_01
If I create a backup job in VSC 4.0 containing both Datastores the Backup Job fails. (Error: Not possible to rename Snapshot)
If I create a backup job containing only one Datastroe everything works fine. But I can't create multiple backup Jobs for each Datastroe because of the SnapShot count limit.
I also don't want to separate the Datastores (qtrees) on different FlexVols --> loose of efficient deduplication
The reason why I use IP-aliases is for better load balancing.
I suggest the problem is, that VSC doesn't recognize that these two Datastores are on the same Filer and FlexVol. I didn't find a description of this scenario in the VSC Administration Guide
Has anybody got an idea what i could do here?

Kevin,
are you using a vfiler or is it the vfiler0?
