Hello All,
We run a VMWare farm that mounts its datastores via NFS on two different
NetApp clusters, one a 3020 HA pair running 7.2.4 and the other a 3170
running 7.3.5P5.
We also mount those datastore exports to two linux (CentOS 5.x) hosts,
which have the CommVault/Simpana backup agents installed. We effectively
back up a snapshot of those datastores.
We've been testing restores of files back to the datastores on the 3170
and they've been failing. We get a linux Error 13, basically "permission
denied," in spite of the fact that the exports are configured for root
access to both the ESX hosts and the backup hosts. We've confirmed that
the backup hosts are mounting as root.
This works on the 3020 pair. Can't spot any meaningful differences in
"options NFS" between the two NetApp systems, or in any other setting.
Thought it might be a posix permissions issue as a CV restore runs under
the local linux group "simpana." The files are written with ownership of
root:simpana and then permissions are changed when the data is all there.
But if we try to rsync any test data to the 3170 datastores we get the
same error, even if we're logged in as root and copying from a local
directory on the backup host. Weirder, we CAN write to the datastore
folder using cp, rm, mkdir, rmdir, but NOT using rsync.
Help?
