- Troubleshooting
- Snapshot backup on Unity fails
- NAS Isilon snapshot mount fails on Linux
- Backup on Windows fails with a Delayed Write Failed error
- Backup fails and hangs when NMC user has insufficient privileges
- Snapshots fail to mount for AIX managed file systems
- Snapshots fail for Linux Volume Manager on VNX with PowerPath
- Linux Logical Volume Manager snapshots fail with an error
- NetWorker to Media-Clone stops responding and the backup fails
- File-by-file or saveset restore fails
- Restore of raw devices fails on Linux with permission issue
- Command nsrsnap_recover -I runs but fails to restore a file
- Restore fails with disk signature error
- Directed restore files and folder permission issue
- Snapshot mount might fail because VMAX does not release the lock on Restore FTS LUN
- NSM with XtremIO leaves snapshots mounted

NetWorker 19.7 Snapshot Management Integration Guide
Application host prerequisites
Verify the following prerequisites before you configure the application host for snapshot operations:
- The application host has installed the supported NetWorker client and NetWorker extended client software.
- The application host has the support NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications (NMDA) and NetWorker Module for SAP (NMSAP) software, if it is protecting DB2, Oracle, or SAP with Oracle.
- The NetWorker server recognizes the application host as a client.
- The application host has completed at least one successful NetWorker backup.
- Synchronize the application host system clock with the mount host system clock.
- Set up the application host connection to the storage array:
- VMAX, VNX, and XtremIO storage arrays, by themselves or with a RecoverPoint appliance, require a SAN connection. For a VMware guest OS, the source and target LUNs are visible as raw device mapped (RDM). VMAX supports both iSCSI and traditional device mapping. VNX, VNX2, VNX2e, and XtremIO only support RDM via iSCSI.
- A RecoverPoint, XtremIO, and VNX appliance also require a LAN connection for communication with the application host.
- The volume or device pathnames of the production LUNs on the storage array are visible to the application host.
- If you use a separate mount host, then the volume or device pathnames of the mirror (target) LUNs on the array are visible to the mount host.
