SRM error – failed to recover datastore. An error occurred during host configuration
Posted: October 30, 2013 Filed under: SRM, VMware | Tags: An error occurred during host configuration, failed to recover datastore, site recovery manager, srm Leave a commentI’d like to share an error I was receiving when running test recoveries with SRM 5.1.1 on a NetApp, ONTAP version 8.1.2. The datastores in question were NFS. The error received in the SRM report is consistently in Section 4. Create Writable Storage Snapshot, but strangely, on differing datastores, first datastore 6, then on datastore 5, then back to datastore 6. This is without making changes to the environment in between tests. Weird, huh? The exact error in the report is
“Error – Failed to recover datastore ‘<datastore6>. An error occurred during host configuration.”
