Netapp StorageGRID v11.7.0.4 - Object Locking not working

Post by zerocoolb »

Hi Guys
i am using a freshly setup StorageGRID Version 11.7.0.4 from netapp.
also i am running the latest V12 with the newest patch.

i was able to create a bucket with object-locking and versioning enabled. I didnt set a mode, since this is not supported.
i was then able to add a net backup-repository (s3-compatible) and also run a backup-Job to it with GFS set.

Unfortunally the backup run without any errors, but the bucketsize stays in the small KBs. ith should be at least 20-40 GB for the test.
i also browsed the bucket and only could find some small data on it....not real data more like meta things.

trying the same scenario on a bucket without object-lock works smooth.

What am i missing here?

by the way....i just setted up a normal backup job with blocksize 4MB and GFS everything else on standardsettings

Hello Besnik
Unfortunally the backup run without any errors, but the bucketsize stays in the small KBs. ith should be at least 20-40 GB for the test.
Where did you have checked the size? Veeam or on the StorageGrid appliance? In Veeam, please run a rescan first before checking the size in backup repositories. Size may only be updated after a rescan.
i also browsed the bucket and only could find some small data on it....not real data more like meta things.
That's expected. We don't store VBK/VIB files on object storage buckets. Data blocks of a restore point are stored as small objects.

What am i missing here?
Did you have opened a support case to check if everything is working fine? If you think it's a technical issue, please open a support case and provide me with the case number.

Best,
