Good morning peeps. I'm fairly new sys admin world and am working in my first systems engineer position (jr) and inherited a dual drive SAN array last week which was entirely unused without being touched since 2007. FUN!
Given our need of storage for backup data as BackupExec won't backup our Notes databases, I'm writing a powershell script to do a VSS copy of the databases on a set scheduled to backup them up to this array.
I've updated the firmware to the latest version, formatted it making a RAID50, and have 2 IP's for the internal web interface. However, while accessible via the web interface, the storage behind it is not accessible. I set an option to allow FTP connections but that isn't working either as an error message is received:
An error occurred open the folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to access this folder.
Details: 501 Directory non existent or syntax error
The controller is an MSA2012fc HP StorageWorks. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried multiple accounts with the FTP site and get the same error each time. This happened before the firmware update as well.
What needs to be installed so that I can manage what's been written to the SAN?
