"failed, status 6" error after increasing datastore (LUN) capacity
We seem to consistently have this issue where when we increase the capacity of a LUN on the SAN storage side and expand the datastore in vCenter with this capacity increase, NetBackup will throw back a "failed, status 6" error when attempting to use the san transport mode. There are no backup issues until this capacity increase takes place. Example of the log we see:
- begin writing
- Error bpbrm (pid=39403) from client vm_name: ERR - Error opening the snapshot disks using given transport mode: san Status 23
- Critical bpbrm (pid=39403) from client vm_name: FTL - cleanup() failed, status 6
- Error bptm (pid=39602) media manager terminated by parent process
All zoning is correct so there's nothing on the fabric side preventing connectivity. For vCenter and ESXi we are running a later version of 7 update 3. On the SAN side we are running IBM FlashSystem storage. Our NetBackup version is a flavor of 10.3.0. Does anyone have thoughts as to why this happens and how we can prevent it from happening in the future?
