Hello,
I don't understand why I have to re-flash the server..... I have 15 ISCSI server and all of them have the issue, do you really think that re-flashing will solve something?
About Volume replication tasks, I cannot find any of them by interface (I'm sending you a screenshot), how can I delete them?
About execute_task issue: I'm sure that we don't have network problems (iSCSI connecttions are in a dedicated "backup" network, made by very fast switches (please take note also that we never experienced snapshot corruption for our NAS XSR servers).
The main suspect could be iSCSI initiator, but WHY we ever have corruption on snapshot device and never have it in main targets? Why if I reboot iSCSI server "corrupted" data will become again readable?
Is it possible that 14 targets (and 14 snapshot) accessed by 14 different iSCSI clients are too many for the same iSCSI server?
Do you have other suggestions?
Bye,
Marco Grassi.
You sent the log file and we saw specific errors and feel re-flashing would fix issues pointed out in previous reply. If you wish not to assist then let's move on. Any errors, Event IDs or try version 2.02. If you are saying only the Snapshot is corrupted during active states of the Snapshot maybe their is heavy IO or not enough memory for the systems. Have you checked the performance values? For iSCSI Ent. use https://x.x.x.x/check_sys/127.0.0.1.html and review the loads for mem during the Snapshot. Sometimes running out of memory can cause this and with the 14 clients doing heavy I/O could cause this (now the execute_task_management(1236) starts to tell more). Then maybe increasing the iSCSI Deamon settings, RAM, larger bond....
You cannot use the iSCSI-R3 Enterprise USB with the iSCSI Enterprise IDE existing volumes, they are different volume managers - you have to backup and then restore.
