Problem with FMA archiving
Hi,
I want to archive data from Celerra to Celerra. To configure FMA, I've used "FMA Getting Started Guide" version 7.3
I've done all tasks that figured in this document but when I opened my share to see archived file, I don't find ay archived file (with a right click on one of my files
I find that the size of my file still the same: size = size on disk)
could you please help me thx

FMA if it's set up correctly has to do two things to actually archive data. First, you must run a policy that determines what files should be tagged as archivable and then there's a process that creates a stub of that file which is actually the point when the file is archived on the Centera. In almost all cases, the tagging of a file and the stubbing of the files are independant processes and happen at different times. You can check your FMA scheduler (on the main GUI) for when this occurs or if it's scheduled to occur. Via NFS it's hard to determine that a file is stubbed and archived, but in Windows it's very easy. In windows, the file will appear with a small circle with a line thru it but the file's size, permissions, name, etc will all be the same. You want the file to be represented with the same size at the file system level even though the stub is very small.
If after this you're still not sure, open a chat session and EMC support can help get you going in the right direction.

Hi Tom,
I was trying to run import task from Celerra CIFS to Celerra CIFS, but I always got the same error " Failed to create the NAS CIFS DHSM connection with error XmlApi::recvXmlResponse Error". I did all steps in the " FMAVE Trial Installation Instructions 0110.pdf".
server_http -append dhsm -users -hosts
server_http –service dhsm –start
fs_dhsm -modify -state enabled
all steps succeeded.
The following lines include the Archiving log (error is in red color):
May 05 13:46:36 Trying to create a CIFS to CIFS dhsm connection between primary server "EMCCIFSONE" share="FMASOURCE" and secondary server "EMCCIFSONE" share="FmaStore"

…
…
1. Look at the NT status code which is a CIFS error and act on the message.
2. Verify that the server emccifsone.dotnet.criticalsites.local name is an FQDN and not just the machine name or IP address. IP addresses cannot be used in place of a server name.
3. Verify that the user account belongs to the domain and has the correct credentials.
4. Verify that the Celerra Data Mover EMCCIFSONE.DOTNET.CRITICALSITES.LOCAL is joined to its domain. The CIFS server status will display that information.
5. If the error message seems incorrect based on the displayed input parameters then look at the Celerra Data Mover server log for more detailed information. Pay special attention to the log messages associated with the facilities MGFS, DHSM, SMB, and KERBEROS.
…
Actually I got the same error when I try to connect manually from CLI:
$ fs_dhsm -connection FS01 -create -type cifs -admin 'DOTNET\administrator' -secondary '\\EMCCIFSONE\FmaStore' -local_server EMCCIFSONE
Enter Password:********
Error 13158252563: Cannot establish connection between secondary server EMCCIFSONE.DOTNET.CRITICALSITES.LOCAL and local server EMCCIFSONE.DOTNET.CRITICALSITES.LOCAL with share FmaStore with user DOTNET\administrator NT status=INTERNAL_ERROR c00000e5H.
I don't know how does the FMA know this password to enter it?. But it seems that it executes the same command (without the password !!!)
Please Advise.
Thanks
