SAN snapshots on HP Store Virtual P4500 left behind after backup failures
Challenge
On the proxy you may see in the event logs 2 events, one after another: first VSS event 8229 about VSS writer failure and then event 284 from HP StoreVirtual VSS Provider about successful snapshot creation.
Cause
Veeam always creates snapshots with the default attribute "auto release" which means that shadow copy is automatically deleted when the shadow copy requester process ends. But neither VSS subsystem, nor Veeam would know if the snapshot was created by provider after the VSS writer failure, because we send all requests about snapshot status to VSS writer. So this is impossible to track from Veeam’s side.
