Go to SolutionHow to add a server to the snapshot access tab
Hello everyone,
for my backup software (VEEAM) I have to grant my backup servers access to a LUNs snapshots. With the latest OE I cant find how to do that anymore. In older versions the web GUI gave me the option to grant a host access to either the LUN only, or to the LUN+Snapshots. The Snapshot seemed to have a fixed WWN which was different from the active LUN. Please see the screenshot to clarify what I am talking about:
My 3 backup hosts are listed under Snapshot Access. How do I add backup host no 4?
Another view:
Under the host my existing backup server lists the active LUN + the Snapshot WWN for the active LUN. My new backup host does only show the active LUN WWN. How do I add the snapshot WWN?
I was not able to explain this to EMC support. They wanted to show me how to attach an existing snapshot to a host. I know how to do that.
My backup software cant access the snapshot to perform the backup off of it without this setting.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Gerhard

Hi
Take a look at this KB article which covers this change in Unisphere behaviour post OE 4.1:
498829 : Unity: Customer can on longer modify snapshot access from "ModifyAccess" under "Access" page in lun's properties Unisphere in OE4.1 and later.(User Correctable) https://support.emc.com/kb/498829
