I am trying to use data replication to back up one DSS to another as a backup solution. Most of my shares are backing up with no issues. It's my vmware share that is having issues. I can't get it to complete the first time without errors. It will run for a little over 3 hours and then I am getting an Error 12: Error in rsync protocol data stream.
I've been to this link but it really doesn't tell me anything. Any place else I can look at on the machines and find out what is going on?

most common error 12 is this:
The destination disk is full (remember that you need at least the size of the largest file that needs to be updated available in free disk space for the transfer to succeed).
Same goes for snapshot
So does the destination share need to be bigger than the source? It's showing that the destination is using a lot more storage than the source. I can make it bigger if needed but I don't know if I have enough space.
Source
Name Size (GB) Used (GB) Free (GB) Usage
lv0000 1500.00 1151.62 348.38 76.8%
Destination
Name Size (GB) Used (GB) Free (GB) Usage
lv0000 1500.00 1416.57 83.43 94.4%
Snapshot size is 1,000GB
Keep in mind that the Destination is not close to having all of the data.
dj
make it larger, or clean off old data, and see if it helps.
Well if I do a properties in windows of the destination share, it only shows about 246GB used and not the 1416.57 that DSS shows.
dj
is this the only share on the logical volume ?
Yea. I created a new LV for each share.

STATUS-->Hardware... get log package
and send me a link via PM, to download your log files
Link is in your inbox. Thanks

2 things:
1- update to the latest build of DSS
2- one of the destinations vmdk is to small:
rsync: write failed on "/COR-WebServer/COR-WebServer-flat.vmdk" (in Copy of cor-itvms1): No space left on device (28)
With my department the way it is currently, that will have to come later. :)Quote:

With the version you are using, you coulld be hitting an old auxfs issue in using up inodes.
This is corrected in later releases.
See if the issue is still happening after your update.

Ok. I will look into upgrading that soon. Also, I increased the destination share by 1TB and started one last night at 11 pm. Well it's still running. :( I can't win for loosing. I guess I should be happy that it didn't error out but I would like for it to finish.

Is there a good set of instructions on upgrading? I got the latest package downloaded but want to make sure it upgrades correctly.
dj
instructions are in the release notes.
but its very simple, upload the new image in the wegui, accept the update, and reboot.
It took around 30 hours but it finally finished. I did upgrade the destination box and now I have another issue but I created a new thread for it. :(

It's good to hear that all your issue now works fine, and for you other post that the system hang at 90%, just give it sometime, and as you told us it works fine after you wait for sometime on it.
The long time that you face could be related to your RAID system, so if you rebuild the array sure it will take very long time (sometimes over 24 hours, as that depend on the storage capacity, system speed, RAID controller, RAID type that you are using as RAID 1,0,5,6 etc..).
And if the long time goes for the update process, then that could be related to your internet speed, as if you have more than one system and you want to update them with a slow internet speed connection, we recommend that you install the ISO image of DSSv6 then check it with the .MD5 sum file to be sure that it downloaded fine, then use it to update your systems.
Also if updating your system take long time, even if you are using the ISO (already downloaded) image, then it is better to check your DOM/USB or your File System.
