Filename modification failing during Cohesity restore
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- CIFS/SMB
- Cohesity Backup Application
Issue
- Restore process is failing
- During the restore process, the Cohesity Application creates a temporary file from the original one, writes to the temporary file, renames the temporary file to the original file name. Then it will update metadata timestamp and NTFS ACL of the original file.
- Cohesity application attempted to update restored file metadata (timestamp and DACL) by sending OPEN/SETINFO calls
- When updating metadata, the application requested access rights like Write Attributes/Read Control/Write Owner
- ONTAP returns “ACCESS DENIED" to the open/setinfo call of updating file metadata. The timestamp of the restored file is the temporary file timestamp instead of the original one
Example :
- Original name : <name>.xlsm
- Restored name : __ch__2735304_0_<name>.xlsm
