So you’ve got a pending message sitting there in NMC, NetWorker logs and nsrwatch:<\/p>\n
Waiting for 1 writable volume(s) to backup pool 'Default'...<\/em><\/pre>\nBacktracking why<\/em> something is asking for this can be tedious and time consuming. You can dig through logs, or you can do process listings, etc., but here’s the thing: if it doesn’t jump out at your almost immediately<\/em>, there’s a good chance it’s a client initiated backup, and that may not be as easy to spot.<\/p>\n
To me, this problem falls into one of those simple choice categories where you can either:<\/p>\n
(a) Spend an indeterminate amount of time working out what is asking for a Default volume; or<\/em><\/p>\n
(b) Just simply label a volume into the Default pool and see<\/em> what gets written to it.<\/p>\n
To me, there’s practically no choice in the situation. If I can label a volume into the Default pool and see what’s writing, I can then stop that backup by contacting the system owner, or finding and hunting down the backup process and stopping it myself.<\/p>\n
While I appreciate it may not appear a graceful solution, we have to remember that sometimes it’s wasteful to spend a large amount of time to solve a problem one way, when there’s a simpler (albeit slightly uglier) way to immediately isolate the cause of a problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
