Correct failed backups due to the following error:

     ERROR - Failed to rename snapshot smvi_all_datastores_20130107131002 to smvi_all_datastores_20130107131002 on volume netapp1.example.com:/vol/esx_ds01

   

1.) Stop SMVI Service

2.) Manually rename the _recent snapshots to have their original datetime stamp for all volumes included in the smvi backup job. (i.e. smvi_all_datastores_recent => smvi_all_datastores_20130107131002)

 

3.) Edit file C:\Program Files\NetApp\Virtual Storage Console\smvi\server\repository\backups so that <originalName> and <name> are the same (remove 'recent') for all instances of that snapshot name.

          ::before::

                    <name>esx_ds01</name>

                </volume>

                <originalName>smvi_all_datastores_20130107131002</originalName>

                <name>smvi_all_datastores_recent</name>

 

          ::after::

                    <name>esx_ds01</name>

                </volume>

                <originalName>smvi_all_datastores_20130107131002</originalName>

                <name>smvi_all_datastores_20130107131002</name>

4.) Start SMVI Service

5.) Run Backup Job and Verify
