Seagate NAS Connection Problem
-
Here's what I've done
Created the RAID10 Volume (took about 5-6 minutes to format)
Created a single share with FULL NFS access...tried to view it in windows explorer and got this:
So, there was another option for public access, with along with FULL NFS access selected, takes away the AD options...selected that...BAM...I can get to the folder in Windows Explorer...Started the SQL backup from BackupAssist...BAM...it works...so FULL NFS and Public access makes it work...
Waiting on the SQL to finish before trying VEEAM but it sounds like it will work now...I can slowly add some AD back into it...while it is always good to have security, backups are not one I am too worried about as no one here would have the time or knowledge to poke around in that drive...

No, NFS is what you should turn off completely. There is no need for it. Use SMB only and open that all the way up. Windows can't natively talk to NFS.

OK something is really fishy if he disabled SMB and only has NFS running, yet he's able to backup to the device (assuming he hasn't installed a NFS driver in Windows).

Yeah, that is weird. The software must have its own NFS stack that it is using or installed SFU silently and doesn't tell him. Very odd. But hey, NFS is easier to deal with so... good deal.

Well, regardless, it is working for the SQL backup....writing fine...I set up a new Backup Repository in VEEAM to the share with Full Access and Public access and it still fails with THE NETWORK PATH WAS NOT FOUND...baffling...

Well, that kinda gives credibility to Scott's theory that your backup software for SQL is using it's own NFS driver.
Time to try Scott's earlier suggestion, enable SMB and open it up fully - everyone full control. no other permissions set.

Sorry...enable SMB on what device? If the NAS, there is no option for that...

The NAS doesn't support SMB? Something is wrong. That's 95% of its use cases.
-
Maybe the NAS uses the old name for SMB.... CIFS?

I know...as mentioned, this all worked great before I rebuilt the volume. Seagate support has suggested factory reset...of course they did...

If you rebuilt the array, what's wrong with a factory reset?

Nothing...just more work (I've got a ton on my plate today)...LOL...about to go attempt it...

Real Quick...I did see this setting:
NFS Service ON or OFF...it was set to OFF. If I set to on, it asks for allowed IP's...I've never had to set that before and it is off on my Archive Server (same series NAS) and it is fine.

NFS should be OFF. Test with nothing but SMB for now. Unless the software uses its own NFS, then use nothing but NFS.

I created a new Share with just CIFS, no NFS...same error:
4/18/2014 9:50:24 AM :: Processing 'Backup Server' Error: Client error: The network path was not found.
Agent failed to process method {Stg.OpenReadWrite}.Guess I'll go for the factory reset now...
-
And it is wide open with read and write for everyone?

Sorry for the delay...crazy day with other stuff. Yes...wide open for everyone. VEEAM still returns the error...

Oh, it is Veeam. Veeam might use native NFS. I thought that this was your old backup software, sorry. Veeam should be NFS I believe.

Yeah, the old BACKUP ASSIST that I will use just for SQL from our physical server, is fine now when I set the share to PUBLIC in the NAS GUI...just VEEAM now...it is having problem...this worked fine before I rebuild the volume as RAID10 and made a new share...it has to be in the share somewhere but I've set everything up the same...

You know.. I said the same thing about a GPO that I've been bashing my head over all day... turns out either there was corruption in my GPO or a very small change I just couldn't see.. I deleted the non working one.. copied a working one and I'm back in business.... I say this to say... just keep digging I'm sure you'll find some odd setting somewhere that's holding you down.
