Subject: cannot mount snapshots
Has anyone come across snapshots that could not be mounted
by snapdrive 4.2.1? I currently have a case open with support, but this is
bugging the life out of me…
My current scenario is a windows 2003 sp2 server with 2
LUN’s, one for a scientific application called waters empower (D:) and
the other for the oracle database that is associated with it (E:). A backup
script of the scientific application runs nightly and calls a script that
creates a snapshot while the database is in hot backup mode. All of this seems
fine and dandy until I try to mount the snapshot to backup the contents to
tape.
Using sdcli I should be able to execute the following
command via a script to mount the snapshot in preparation for writing it to
tape: sdcli snap mount –k d -s snap0 –d y
I have done some testing in which I tried to mount these
snapshots from a remote server running snapdrive 4.2.1 as well and it was also
unsuccessful. I also created a separate lun in which I took some snapshots of
and I was able to mount it (this eliminates a problem with snapdrive on the
machine and means to me that there is something happening to the snapshots that
make them unmountable.)
What can I look for to see what is wrong with my snapshots?
Snap list shows them to be normal…
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
