  • Kindly elaborate more.

     

    I have tried as per above path , but still backup has failing .

  • NBU Version :- 6.5.4

    Filer Make :- NETAPP

     Model :-  FAS 3240.

    Backup Path of cifs share.

  • If you can access the filer, or ask your filer admin get him to run:

    # rsh filername vol status 

    where filername is the name of your filer - and show us the output - this will tell us what volume names it is using.

    Also:

    cifs shares

    Should show all CIFS shares but not sure how in depth the result is

    Ask your filer admin for a volume listing and ask him which volume noncriticaldata resides on

  • Hi All,

    Many Many Thanks to All for this solution but i need some more clarification about NDMP backup.

    I have already Setup exsiting NDMP backup and those backup are working fine on regular basis with the following Backup selection path in same environment.

    "/__VOLUME__/volume-name" and this Volume on diffrent San Storage (HITACHI SAN STORAGE)

    At this time we have Netapp, As per my knowlede for Netapp filer we mentioned /vol/volume-name but as per Environment configuration i had try this option to configure backup policy and issue had come.

    I just want to know what is the diffrence between Netapp Storage and Other San Storage for backup path selection and other NDMP backup option's

     

    Lot's of Thanks
