Hi all,
I am using Openshift 4.16 and Kasten 8.0.2.
And problem is that I am using one nfs server (we will call it NFS1) for keeping applications on it (with storageclass1) and another nfs server (NFS2) which i want to use for exporting snapshots.
And problem that i have is for kasten to export applications that are on nfs1 to nfs2, although I created location profile, which point to pvc2, which later points to NFS2 server through storageclass2.
But the funny thing is that when I am using app that is already hosted on nfs2, and try to backup it and to export it to nfs2 server, that works well.
So, this problem only occurs when I want to backup apps from nfs1 and export their snapshot to nfs2.
Any idea on this problem?
Question
kasten cannot export snapshot to different nfs server

Thank you.

Hi,
this behavior could be related to how Kasten handles NFS-to-NFS exports rather than a generic configuration issue. You are on Kasten 8.0.2, and there was a known issue in early 8.0.x where exports to NFS location profiles might fail depending on the source backend, so upgrading to a newer 8.0.x/8.1 release would be a good first step.

I upgraded Kasten version to 8.0.15, and it is still the same.. Do you think that upgrade to Kasten 8.5.x could help?
+9If it were my environment, I would:
-
Test with 8.5.x (latest patch available).
-
Run a manual debug pod mounting both PVCs (from NFS1 and NFS2) to confirm cross-write access works outside of Kasten.
If the manual copy fails, it’s infrastructure-level. If it succeeds, then we’re likely looking at a Kasten export workflow edge case.
