I'm having a problem with copying an 8gB flat file from local storage to FC SANS.
VM 3.5.0,70356 (all current patches) - this is a clean install, not upgrade
DL380G5 32 gB RAM
Local storage: 146 gB mirrored formatted: VMFS 3.31
Remote storage: HP MSA1000
Connected with FCA2101 FC cards
Lun1: 546 gB RAID 5 formatted VMFS 3.21
Lun2: 273 gB RAID 5 formatted VMFS 3.21
Attempted restore made when at VMWare v3.0.2 using VISBU v0.9.1 - would not restore the 8gB vmdk file
Installed VISBU 1.0.1 and attempted restore - still nothing
Tried to copy the file manually using putty as follows:
Error:
# cp -i /vmfs/volumes/47c4d863-37f7a36f-2cdf-001cc46c7b78/SVV-CONVERTER/SVV-CONVERTER-flat.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/46e706a7-02c83aba-a14e-0017a43c804a/SVV-CONVERTER/
cp: writing `/vmfs/volumes/46e706a7-02c83aba-a14e-0017a43c804a/SVV-CONVERTER/SVV-CONVERTER-flat.vmdk': Function not implemented
It appears that the file begins to copy, leaving a 1,310,720 byte file at the destination before error occurs.
Copy from one local storage directory to another local storage directory does work fine, as do copied from FC SANs storage to local storage.
Copies and restores such as this did work fine in v3.0.2 on the same hardware
Linux is not a real familiar platform for me so I find it's been a lot of research: finding nothing yet. What am I missing
