Windows 2008r2 Master and Media servers, Isilon storage
Hello again, all.
Im trying something that I never have yet, and am having little luck. Yet, I cant imagine this being a complicated configuration. I need to temporarily send backups to a CIF share that was created for me on an Isilon box and I have full access to the share. My backups usually go to DataDomain disk pools/storage units.
The thing is that im finding article after article on how to back up a CIF share, but not backup data TO a CIF share. I beleive I have to start by creating a storage unit that points to the location to which I want to send the backups, but thats where I'm getting stopped, and pretty sure Im missing steps. Ive named the new stiorage unit, selected disk as the storage unit type, BasicDisk as disk type(??), selected a media server I want it to use, entered the absolute path, but I cannot view the properties of the location. I just get that "Error reading volume information.STS API failed. Status 228", which leads me to believe I'm heading in entirely the wrong direction. Is anyone out there sending backups directly to a CIF share, and can shed some light on this for me? I'll provide whatever information needed about my current setup.
Thank you!!!
Todd
