Storage Snapshot Automatic Scan

[jmcclain]

I have enabled storage snapshots on our HPE 3PAR but regular scan is not occurring in Veeam forcing me to manually scan in order to see new snapshots. According to the docs this should occur every 10 minutes. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I have NImble (now part of HPE, and is in the HPE Integrated Storage Deploy Guide) and the auto scan interval for Nimble is the same, as well as a total array scan done every 7 days (pg. 25: https://www.veeam.com/hpe-primary-stora ... de_wpp.pdf). Since working with integrating Nimble in VB&R, I've discovered a couple critical 'bugs'. I recommend opening a case with Veeam support to see what may be going on. I assume you click on 'History' tab in the VB&R Console and Storage Discovery isn't showing about every 10mins? Mine is actually showing about every 12-13mins.

Looked at the history and Storage Discovery is running every 7 days. The Storage Monitor process is failing which is what I thought conducted the 10 min scans. Better open a case, thanks for your reply.

You bet. If you don't mind... would be good to hear what support finds out. Update this post when you can?

Thanks.

is there a way to stop the storage monitor ?

Why do you need that? Any chance just to set it to occur less frequently using the SanMonitorTimeout (REG_DWORD) registry value (in seconds)?
