Intellisnap Linux Proxy on RHEL 8

Hi,

We are currently having an issue with a Linux Proxy that is running RHEL 8.x.

We used to have a Linux proxy running RHEL 7 that was being used to mount snapshots from other RHEL 7 clients and copy them over to the disk library.

As we rolled out new RHEL 8 clients, we wanted to set up a Linux Proxy running RHEL 8.x.

The Snapshot copy phase works fine and we can see the snapshots on the storage. However, the backupcopy job fails, already during the Scanphase.

In the logs we can see the following:

362266 5871a 01/06 14:22:02 2973716 CVMMSnapAPI::processVolSnapOperation() - Request to MM -- << OpType[2: Mount] SnapJob[2970008] SrcClient[1759] MountHost[1956] VmHostId[0] OpSrc[1: IDA] OpMode[3: HWDB] Flags[2] HopCount[0] Status[0] >>

Error [Failed to update metadata for VG group [nonprdvg_copy_001]:   WARNING: Found 7 active volume(s) in volume group "nonprdvg_copy_001".
Do you really want to proceed with restore of volume group "nonprdvg_copy_001", while 7 volume(s) are active? [y/n]: [n]
Restore aborted.

So it is failing to mount the snapshot to the Linux Proxy? We’re a bit stuck now and don’t know where to look further. Any Linux guru’s that would know what’s happening here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Jeremy

Can you please update as to which version of Commvault you are running, for example 11.28.24.    What is being seen in CVMA.log at the time of the snap mount failure?

Hi Orazan,

Thanks for your reply! The environment is running version 11.20.

I can see the same exact error in the CVMA log:

Have you seen this error message in Linux?

Hi Jeremy,

 

you needs also check the SELINUX configuration, you could see some denies in the audit.log.
