Title
SnapVault transfers fail with "Could not read from socket" -
Description
Date: May 08
Product & Version: All
OS Version: All
Module & Version: All
Application version: Ontap 7.2.x
Updates and baseline transfers of Snapshots from OSSV clients fail and the following error message is logged on the filer's log: "Could not read from socket"
On the client, the message is "Unexpected read select while sending" or "Unexpected read select while no data pending". -
Cause
The behaviour is a result of NetApp bug 252983, which is described in their NOW knowledgebase. It is down to a certain flag that is now handed down to OSSV.
-
Resolution
NetApp recommends increasing the retries, but this is not a sure fix. There is no a parameter within NetVault that can fix this issue as it pertains to outside the software. If the problem persists Netapp must be contacted to address it. -
