Incremental Backup Failed

Issue

Incremental backups fail with the following error:

Running: tgtadm --op show --mode target | grep Target | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/://g'
tgtadm: can't send the request to the tgt daemon, Transport endpoint is not connected

Running: tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode target --op new --tid 1 --targetname iqn.2014-02-06:onapp.com:backup-qtoitl6ry8uj28
tgtadm: can't send the request to the tgt daemon, Transport endpoint is not connected

Resolution

This error appears when the tgtd daemon is not running. To check it, do the following:

1. SSH into the compute resource.

2. Run the command:

   # ps -ef|grep tgtd

   CODE

3. If the output you receive differs from the output provided below, it means that the daemon is not running:

   root 12282 1 0 20:34 ? 00:00:00 tgtd

   CODE

   To correct it, run the following command:

   # /etc/init.d/tgtd start

   CODE

   Starting SCSI target daemon: Starting target framework daemon

   CODE

4. Run the following command again to test and make sure it is working correctly:

   # ps -ef|grep tgtd

   CODE

5. Try running the incremental backup again.

Cause

The tgtd daemon was not started when incremental backups were enabled.
