Applies to
- SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server (SCSQL)
- SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere (SCV)
- SQL Server databases hosted on VMDK disks
Issue
- SQL Server backups for specific resource groups fail in SnapCenter. The following errors are observed in SnapCenter job logs:
System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 10800 seconds elapsing.
---> System.TimeoutException: The operation was canceled.
---> System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: The operation was canceled.
---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (10053): An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
- Additional symptoms:
- Backups hang in “Running” state or fail with “Unable to find the database files.”
- Disk discovery jobs for affected SQL hosts hang for hours or do not complete.
- SnapCenter logs may show “Failed to determine LUN based on the serial number” or invalid/unknown storage targets (e.g., target “0”).
- Other resource groups and backups may remain unaffected.
