I was just handed a new EMC VNX to backup. There are two other EMC devices being backed by NBU without any problems.
Environment:
NBU 7.5 running on Windows 2008 R2 with disks on EMC Clariion and an HP StorageWorks MSL 4048 Tape library for data storage.
There is a VNXe and a VNX 5300 that are working just fine with the already in place policies.
The new EMC is another VNX 5300, st07caddvnx. I do not have any administrative access to it
The st07caddvnx errors out with "This is not an absolute root dir path." I cannot locate any information on determining what the absolute root dir path is.
Am I missing something? Or is the absolute root dir path just a red herring?
Thanks.
