Issue

Depending on how busy the storage is, a certain percentage of the calls to set the snapshot locking date/time fails with the error "Stale NFS file handle".
Often the message seems non-sensical when not NFS, but SAN LUNs are used from the volume of the Snapshot.
This happens for all SnapCenter Server versions that support snapshot locking, and was found for all versions up to 6.1P1.
Note that the Backup itself ends with a Warning, and is not considered to be failed, since it's usable.
The snapshot, however, is not necessarily safe from being deleted prematurely.
