isi_vol_copy issue

Question

Hi,

We are testing migrations from Netapp to Isilon of large sets of SMB data.

Source: Netapp FAS8200 @ 9.5P7

Target: Isilon A200 @ 8.2.0.0

I'm using isi_vol_copy for this but I get an error and I can't find any info on it:

ISCL001-B10-1# isi_vol_copy 10.0.0.72:/vol/TMS01a/ /ifs/MIGRATION_TEST -sa ndmpuser:blablabla(autogenerated password here) -full
Migration-id : 1, run-id : 0
Checkpoint for migration Id: 1 not found
LogMessage {type NDMP_LOG_NORMAL} {msg_id 1} {msg Session identifier: 20745
} {associated_msg 0} {associated_msg_seq 0}
Unable to open /ifs/.ifsvar/modules/isi_vol_copy/1/persistent_store/restoresymtable.hdr
Starting Migration
Error getting BRE path info reply, Error: Illegal arguments in request
Unable to continue as the server does not support a restartable backup of path: /vol/TMS01a/

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello NRBStorage,

Is your Isilon in a cluster? Looking at the error it looks like your Isilon is not able to access ifs/.ifsvar/modules/isi_vol_copy/1/persistent_store/restoresymtable.hdr. I would check to make sure that it has rights to access that location. If it does have access then I would suggest that you call into support & open a case.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you for your reply ... we managed to get it working, in meantime. Issue was more or less on Netapp. We changed the following:

- Moved the lif to the node that hold the volume

- Changed the firewall policy of that lif to DATA

- changed the path in the command to: / / / /

The script now started successfully.
