NetWorker NVP vProxy: Confirm that a VM saveset resides on the Data Domain file system

概要: This KB outlines methods for confirming NetWorker VMware Protection (NVP) VM save set data on Data Domain file systems. This procedure can be useful for more generic errors (e.g: 5004-nfs lookup failed (nfs: No such file or directory)) ...

手順

The process outlined in this KB helps identify where VMware VM backup data resides on a Data Domain file system.

1. The output can be long and exceed the SSH session buffer. Configure the SSH connection agent to log all the session output to an output file. For example, with PuTTY ensure that the following is set before initiating a session:

kA53a000000H2gfCAC_1_0

NOTE: The location must be somewhere that the user has permissions to write to without elevated credentials.

2. Connect to the Data Domain from the SSH agent and log in as sysadmin. Collect the list of Data Domain mtrees and identify which one is associated with the NetWorker server. 

mtree list

Example:

sysadmin@ddve01# mtree list
Name                     Pre-Comp (GiB)   Status
----------------------   --------------   ------
/data/col1/aftd_backup              0.0   RW
/data/col1/aftd_clone               0.0   RW
/data/col1/backup                   0.0   RW
/data/col1/nsr                   6064.1   RW
----------------------   --------------   ------
 D    : Deleted
 Q    : Quota Defined
 RO   : Read Only
 RW   : Read Write
 RD   : Replication Destination
 IRH  : Retention-Lock Indefinite Retention Hold Enabled
 ARL  : Automatic-Retention-Lock Enabled
 RLGE : Retention-Lock Governance Enabled
 RLGD : Retention-Lock Governance Disabled
 RLCE : Retention-Lock Compliance Enabled
 M    : Mobile
 m    : Migratable

The NetWorker server mtree name differs depending on the number of NetWorker servers connected to a Data Domain. You may see multiple different mtrees.

The mtree name can be identified in the device access information in NetWorker, for example:

The /data/col1 portion of the mtree is not shown in NetWorker. 

3. From the Data Domain SSH session, run the following command, specifying the NetWorker server mtree:

filesys report generate file-location path /data/col1/NETWORKER_MTREE

Example:

sysadmin@ddve01# filesys report generate file-location path /data/col1/nsr
--------------------------------      ----------------------      -------------     -----------------
File Name                             Location(Unit Name)         Size              Placement Time

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Optionally, you can be more specific with the mtree path to a specific device folder, for example:

filesys report generate file-location path /data/col1/nsr/VMBackupDevice02

Or save set:

filesys report generate file-location path /data/col1/nsr/VMBackupDevice02/97/29/4bfadf0d-00000006-df07271e-6707271e-00225000-592bbe56

If unsure about file paths or locations, perform an unfiltered collection on the entire mtree and use the output file to search for save sets.

 

4. On the NetWorker server use mminfo to query for the wanted VM saveset and display the log saveset ID:

mminfo -avot -q vmname=VM_NAME -r "savetime,ssid,ssid(60),ssflags,sumflags"

Example:

[root@nsr ~]# mminfo -avot -q vmname=win-client01.amer.lan -r "savetime,ssid,ssid(60),ssflags,sumflags"
  date   ssid       ssid                                                        ssflags fl

NOTE: Other -r switches can be used to provide additional detail. The NetWorker command reference guide provides more information about mminfo. See, https://www.dell.com/support/home/product-support/product/networker/docs. Operating system commands (findstr, grep) can also be piped (|) onto the command to narrow down the results. In this example, we can see that both the NetWorker server and Data Domain are aware of this save set and it is recoverable.

VM save sets are stored on the Data Domain file system under the NetWorker server mtree. The files appear under a folder for the device using the "long-ssid." In this example, we would expect to see the folder as "/data/col1/nsr/../../../4bfadf0d-00000006-df07271e-6707271e-00225000-592bbe56". The path includes other values, so search/filter the filesys report output for the long-ssid to find the full path.

5. Using the long-ssid from the mminfo output and comparing it to the DD filesys command output shows where the save set resides on the DD:

This method confirms the save set’s location on the Data Domain, its VM files, and whether it is in the active or cloud tier.

その他の情報

Using sfs-dump can generate file locations on the DD, but it is more intensive on the file system, so the filesys report method is preferred. filesys report shows if the save set is in the active or cloud tier, which is crucial for VM restores since files must be in the active tier. 

To generate a sfs-dump on the Data Domain run:

filesys sfs-dump mtree /data/col1/MTREE_NAME

The long ssid collected from mminfo can be used to find the location of the save set in the sfs-dump output.
