Snap Manager for SharePoint...2

So we've been running SMSPS for a while now, well, easily for two months with no incident. 

Until last week.

We got some nasty looking notifications, with "Clone Backup DB Error " in the Statistical Result section of the notification.

As we have SME too it was already known that there have been issues when a cloned LUN is dismounted after backup validation.  We wondered if this was happening in SMSPS.

Opening up SQL Management Studio on the server runnning the DBCC installantly showed the databases mounted included clones used in the DBCC process.

Looking in Snap Drive there was the cloned LUN mounted in the folder default location.

After detaching the DBs from within SQL and then removing the LUNs from SnapDrive things looked good.

Well looked until the backup ran that night :)

This time we got "Error During Backup Raw DB" which sounded even more scary.

Turns out there was one last DB still mounted in SQL.

Cleaning that out sorted things out right.

Hopefully we wont see this happen again, mainly as we don;t know why it failed in the first place, however we do now have a work-around.
