Netapp Storage:Storage Volume is locked. Waiting for release

[WinstonWolf]

Hello ,

Follow Situation :

We have an physical Veeam Backup V9 Server in Use . This Veeam Server is connected via Netapp Storage Connector to an FAS8020 .
Under Storage Infrastructure it looks like so :


When i make an Rescan from the Store on the Running Veeam Server than it looks loke so :


On the New Backup Server the Rescan shows the Following :


What means "Storage Volume is locked. Waiting for release" ?

Can only one Backup Server be connected with the NFS Luns on the Productiv Storage ?

Thanks
Michael

Did you check that you do not allow Windows to initialize any SAN volumes you are presenting to it?

Hi Michael,

Does the new backup server have ReadOnly / Write and root access to the NFS storage?

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/vsp ... proxy.html

The backup proxy must have ReadOnly/Write permissions and root access to the NFS datastore.

I controlled both settings .
SAN shows : Offline - Shared

From the running W2008R2 Backup Server the access works , but not from the new installed one . Which Programm "locked" the Datatstore ?

[widmerkarl]

Perhaps you can see the connected servers / clients from the NetApp System Manager?

Hm , i cant find such a Option ?

Is it possible to connect more than one Veeam Backup Server to an FAS Storage from Netapp to access to the Datastores or the Snapshot Copys ?

[widmerkarl]

I would say yeys, because ESXi or Hyper-V host also can access the same datastore at the same time...

Please open a support case at Veeam and provide us here the case #. Perhaps its also possible that you have to contact NetApp support if it's not a problem related to Veeam software.

Hello ,

Sorry it was my fault . On the 10Gbit Network Card which was connected with the NFS Storage System was an wrong Jumbo Frame Setting .

Now it works normal .

Thanks again for help
