I'm having errors creating snapshots with SnapDrive for Solaris. I'm running Solaris 10 on a SPARC processor, Veritas Volume Manager and File System 5 and a FAS270 DOT 7.2.2 filer. I didn't have problems creating the LUNs, even SnapDrive created the /etc/vfstab entries:
bash-3.00# snapdrive snap create -dg testvol -snapname snapdgtest 0001-843 Admin error: Failed to read device config info : Could not read disk format for /dev/vx/dmp/Disk_2
bash-3.00# snapdrive storage create -fs /oratest -hostvol dgtest/testvol -lun netapp2:/vol/vol1/lun1 -lunsize 8g
LUN netapp2:/vol/vol1/lun1 ... created
mapping new lun(s) ... done discovering new lun(s) ... done
LUN to device file mappings: - netapp2:/vol/vol1/lun1 => /dev/vx/dmp/Disk_2
disk group dgtest created host volume testvol created file system /oratest created
bash-3.00# tail /etc/vfstab /dev/vx/dsk/dg01/vol01 /dev/vx/rdsk/dg01/vol01 /sio01 vxfs - yes - /dev/vx/dsk/dg02/vol02 /dev/vx/rdsk/dg02/vol02 /sio02 vxfs - yes - swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes - /dev/vx/dsk/dgtest/testvol /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtest/testvol /oratest vxfs - yes -
Theres is a confusion, because SnapDrive mapped the LUN to /dev/vx/dmp/Disk_2, but the entry on /etc/vfstab is:
/dev/vx/dsk/dgtest/testvol /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtest/testvol /oratest vxfs - yes -
I hope somone can help me with this, I'm not a Veritas or Solaris expert.
