PowerVC 2.0.1.1 snapshot restore - fails - IBM SVC as storage - flashcopy_rate set to 0 MB/s

  • 1.  PowerVC 2.0.1.1 snapshot restore - fails - IBM SVC as storage - flashcopy_rate set to 0 MB/s

    Posted Sun July 31, 2022 10:55 PM
    Has anyone else had an issue with restoring a PowerVC snapshot created on IBM SVC, the snapshot was created (seemingly correctly) according to both PowerVC and the SVC

    When user went to restore, the restore hung in PowerVC, eventually timed out in the UI

    On examination at the SVC side, we could see the two restores at 0% in the Copy Services Flashcopy panel  with 'started' status, but the restores did not actually occur UNTIL I changed the copy rate on the two snapshots  to a more useful number - as soon as I changed from 0 MBs the restore progressed and when it completed I had the user start the VM and and was restored as they expected


    Cheers

    Hi Dominic,
    We have not seen this issue in our env, for the restore flashcopy mapping there is a copy_rate set to non-zero.
    Can you share the fcmaps which you are seing in the backend
