Unable to create a snapshot

On the NAS appliance, verify whether the backup operation would exceed any of the snapshot limits. System-wide and directory snapshot limits vary by appliance. The appliance documentation provides more information.

If necessary, remove any snapshots that are no longer required and then try the backup again. Verify that the NAS appliance management credentials are correct. Check the NAS appliance licensing.

Unable to create a snapshot on Isilon/PowerScale

On the appliance, verify whether the /ifs/.snapshot directory exists. If this directory does not exist, contact Isilon/PowerScale Customer Support.

Unable to mount an appliance snapshot or share asset

Download the NAS protection workflow logs. Review protection logs provides instructions.

Open snapshotAndSlice.log and copy the mount command from the log. Replace the password placeholder with the appliance or share credential. Use the appliance or file server console to test the mount command.

Use the output from the mount command on the appliance or file server console to troubleshoot. Resolve configuration issues such as invalid credentials or connectivity problems. If there are no configuration issues, contact Customer Support.
