Hi,

We'r running into the same problem with a Clustered MS SQL installation.

There is an open case, but up to now no solution for the issue.

The snapshoted LUN gets mounted correctly, but SMSQL doesn't find the DB files for verification...

Whats your installed version of SnapDrive and SMSQL?

Ours is SD 5.0 and SMSQL 2.1.1.

Cheers

Andreas

Hi all,

Up to now I've always set up SQL cluster with LUNs on drive letters and I've used a single stand alone SQL instance on the "passive" node of the cluster as verification server.

Sincerely this is my first experience of SMSQL on a MS cluster using mount point and an external verification server. The scenario so is a SQL cluster using mount point instead of drive letters and an external verification server. We have the DB files on a LUN mounted as S:\DB01, the logs on another LUN mounted as S:\LOG01 and GLINKA0 as external verification server. Here follows the log.

The backup is successfully done but when the verification starts something goes wrong: the snapshotted LUNs for DB and LOG are successfully mounted on Z: and Y: but SMSQL on verification does not find the db files a/o the log files looking for it on S:\DB01 (that is the path of the mount point!)...

I hope this has nothing to do with capital or lowercase usage of paths J (we've S:\DB01 and S:\db01 on log...).

From the verification server I can see the LUN mounted, I can browse them while are mounted and I can see the 'not found' files...

Any idea?

Thank you in advance,
