SFHA 6.1 / MirrorView Agent supported over Windows 2012 R2?
Hi,
I see on SORT that the MirrorView agent is supported on Windows 2102 with SFHA 6.1 or 6.0.2, but i don't see an official support with Windows 2012R2.
I installed a NetBackup cluster (7604) with SFHA 6.1 on Windows 2012R2 and the MirrorView agent does not retrieve the good status of my MV Group.
If i copy/paste the same command on cmd, all is OK.

I found another post for Windows 2012, and I applied the same solution (VNX login/password configuration with VCS agent action), same problem.

Any idea ?
The problem was the NAVISECCLI user type used by the VCS MirrorView agent.
The action script "AddArrayUser" (Perl script installed with VCS MirrorView Agent) work only with a Global User (naviseccli option "-scope 0") and not with a local user (naviseccli option "-scope 1"). The parameters "-Scope 0" is hard coded.
If you want to used a local user (if the user type cannot be modified), the AddArrayUser.pl must be modified with a "-Scope 1" and reexecute with your usernam/pass/....
