Re: NetApp Ontap 9.x Storage Snapshot Support and Issues
I just updated my NetApp to 9.1P1 and my Veeam (9.5 U1) backup from snapshots does not work.
Probably should have checked compatibility before doing that one.
Any ETA for a fix?

I've talked to the engineer from NetApp. Fix is planned in 9.1P3, which will be
probably available in April.

I have a problem at a customer of me, too. They upgraded to ONTAP 9.1RC2 before they bought veeam.
I think veeam don't recognize the LUNs (iSCSI and FibreChannel).
If I want to perform a backup from storage-snapshot, I get the following error-message:
"VM does not meet the requirements for storage snapshot based jobs"
NFS-Shares works well.
Do you have the same problem?

Re: NetApp Ontap 9.x Storage Snapshot Support and Issues
Hi flowe,
i've had a problem that Veeam could not properly scan the Ontap9.1 System.
Always gave an error with ISCSI - we only use NFS for VMware! We have a dedicated SVM only serving NFS data, and this is where Veeam failed with ISCSI, which did not make sense to me at all.
But you've got NFS working? Guess I'll have to try again!
/edit: just checked again, we've updated to 9.1P1 in the meantime. Still the same error.
I rechecked the FAS-System in Veeam, Access options are "NFS" only. Yet, when i scan the storage, it says:
10.03.2017 08:09:48 Successfully determined NFS exports supported for backup from storage snapshots on storage FAS2650 using NFS client from proxy ...
10.03.2017 08:10:04 NFS share xxx from volumexxx corresponding VMware host is not registered with Veeam
10.03.2017 08:13:58 Failed to obtain list of VMs on NFS share xxx from snapshot yyy of volume xxx Error: There is no initiators available.
Not sure if i should open a case while 9.1 is not officially supported?

Re: NetApp Ontap 9.x Storage Snapshot Support and Issues
With 9.5 you can select in the Storage System Settings which Protocol should be scanned. Maybe this helps you.

Re: NetApp Ontap 9.x Storage Snapshot Support and Issues
Hello everyone,
NFS with Ontap 9.1 works - my issues are resolved.
Cause: Despite all checklists being ticked off, on our FAS2650 no "public" LIFs for the NFS-SVM were created.
Only the "private"/non-routed/L2 internal Datastore-VLAN between Netapp and ESXi was created
-> While testing everything worked when i manually mapped the Datastores to the ESXi Hosts
-> But Veeam, coming from a "normal" routed L3 VLAN was not able to access, as the corresponding Netapp LIFs on this subnet were missing
So, it was a User error
But @Veeam: Please fix this behaviour, it is extremely misleading!
The Netapp SVM is NFS only, and in Veeam the Netapp is configured for NFS-access only. Yet, the error messages all point towards ISCSI/FC (Initiators, SAN, etc. all over the logs.)
In this case, Veeam should just scream "hey, i can not access this storage over NFS, fix it!" instead.
TLDR: No way for Veeam to access NFS Datastore, Veeam throws logs pointing towards ISCSI/FC, leading me to believe it's a Veeam-bug because 9.1 is not officially supported yet

Ontap 9.1P3 was released (I guess you already heard of this through other channels^^).
http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/downloa ... tap/9.1P3/
Just guessing, could this be the bug you mentioned?
1064560 Large file deletion or LUN unmap operations can stall on FlexClone volumes
Any news if Ontap 9.1(P3) will be supported by Veeam B&R 9.5 Update2?

Hi DerOest,
I asked my NetApp contact if this is the fix he talked about. No update yet.
I have no information about 9.1 Support and VBR 9.5 U2. Gostev and his team has not
given us engineers infos about this topic, yet.

Re: NetApp Ontap 9.x Storage Snapshot Support and Issues
Just a question. I've been running Veeam 9.5U1 with cDOT 9.1 since early March without issue. I'm using NFS for VMware and storage snapshots for backups.
Everything seems to work, I am missing something that this update will now help me with? Or is it just official support & tested?

Re: NetApp Ontap 9.x Storage Snapshot Support and Issues
We have B&R 9.5 and Netapp ONTap 9.1P2. Just upgraded to Update 2 and we now have an issue.
The backups can't transfer snapshot to snapvault because it says the relationship cant be found for the snapvault.
I even reverted to update 1 and then it finds the relationship just fine. I do want the new features and bug fixes so I want to go to update 2. Anyone else seen this problem?

Yes, the customer logged a support ticket regarding this and veeam says its a bug in 9.5U2 with XDP (mirror-vault). I haven't been at the customers site since then but they have a patch for this issue if you raise a ticket with them.
A ticket with veeam that is.
