Ok, so I've been primarily a HPe shop, I've currently got two - 3par arrays - 120 TB each mirroring each other. Run active stuff on both sides, metro storage cluster. In any case Looking into replacing the two arrays, they've performed well, only complaint is running out of space..LOL So basically a large chunk of stuff are images, pdf's. A lot of things that don't dedup/compress great. I've got development running against the arrays as well. I will say that we are budget conscious, so I'm looking for a compelling reason to get purestorage over a HPe Primera.. I'm assuming Primera will come ba ..read more

Hi @Major88  This error can be caused by any of the following: 1. It may be due to the presence of VMware snapshots on the VM. 2. If you have not tried FLR prior, its worth checking if the filesystem is supported. The admin guide for the release you are on should list the supported partition types. 3. If you are trying to do file level restore on a remote backup, you might get this error. As you already mentioned, try to disable CBT for the virtual machine by setting the ctkEnabled value to false. It might be caused when CTK option is enabled for the Virtual Machines. Disable CBT for ..read more

Hi @SimonAcha  In my opinion, in a centrally-managed & peer-managed federation, we still support 2 to 5 vCenter servers for Enhanced Linked Mode. The same is mentioned in the below updated document "HPE OmniStack 5.0.0 for vSphere administration guide": https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=dp00003638en_us&docLocale=en_US (page no. 20 & 21) Hope this helps.

Hello guys,   I've had a barrage of problems with my HPE StoreOnce 5200 appliance. Multiple dead drives and corrupted filesystem.  This has all been solved, but going forward i would like to monitor disk SMART data to potentially catch drives before they give up the ghost. In the web GUI it only shows disk as faulty once they are completely dead and unusable which is sadly a bit too late. Is there a way to convince StoreOnce to display actual full SMART data for all the drives? Can this be done through ILO over SSH or something similar? Thank you for any answers, Rok ..read more
