We're using
Version 7.0.0.11287812, Build 11287812 of vRealize Operations manager.
When trying to add a network share for offloading my reports, I cannot get the network share connected.
My AD user does have read/write access to this share, but I keep getting the:
"Test was not successful: network share plugin test failed"
The name of the share I want to connect to I got from "net use" in a dos box on my machine when logged in.
I am not sure what is going wrong here.
Does anyone know in which logfile to look (out of the many.....) ?
There is no ssh possibility to log in to the vROPS machine, is there ?
Would make it a bit easier for a Linux admin to determine the cause..
Thanks,
Hans
Hello,
The Network Share plug-in supports SMB version 2.0 only, please recheck your version
Hi,
Thanks for answering.
From another Linux machine (CentOS 7.4) I _am_ able to make a cifs connection using the command:
mount -vvv -t cifs //nfcpca01/secure /mnt -o username=bnhala,domain=fvlprod,vers=2.0
When issuing the same command on the vROPS server, I still get the Permission denied :
mount -vvv -t cifs //nfcpca01/secure /mnt -o username=bnhala,domain=fvlprod,vers=2.0
mount: fstab path: "/etc/fstab"
mount: mtab path: "/etc/mtab"
mount: lock path: "/etc/mtab~"
mount: temp path: "/etc/mtab.tmp"
mount: UID: 0
mount: eUID: 0
mount: spec: "//nfcpca01/secure"
mount: node: "/mnt"
mount: types: "cifs"
mount: opts: "username=bnhala,domain=fvlprod,vers=2.0"
mount: external mount: argv[0] = "/sbin/mount.cifs"
mount: external mount: argv[1] = "//nfcpca01/secure"
mount: external mount: argv[2] = "/mnt"
mount: external mount: argv[3] = "-v"
mount: external mount: argv[4] = "-o"
mount: external mount: argv[5] = "rw,username=bnhala,domain=fvlprod,vers=2.0"
Password:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.1.97.45,unc=\\nfcpca01\secure,vers=2.0,ver=1,user=bnhala,domain=fvlprod,pass=********
mount error(13): Permission denied
Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't this indicate an issue on the vROPS server ?
In answer to my previous post:
I succeeded in establishing a connection, however only from the ssh prompt.
It turns out I need to add sec=ntlmssp as an option :
mount -vvv -t cifs //nfcpca01/secure /mnt -o username=bnhala,domain=fvlprod,vers=2.0,sec=ntlmssp
An explanation may be found here:

Any idea how to achieve this when configuring an external share from within the GUI ?
(I don't think I will stand a chance asking the Windows sysadmins to remove extended security from their AD servers.....)
Thanks,
Hans
Hi Hans
The vRops network-share plugin uploads files using samba protocol version v2.1. Please assiure that you have list/read/write/delete permission for the user and have Full-Controll in the "share" permissions.
I was only able to connect to a NetApp share and not any of our AD DFS shares.
Have you tried with a fqdn (i.e., can vROps resolve nfcpca01)?
Where would the failed attempt be logged? I get a successfull test of the network plugin but nothing happens. I can scrape logs manually, or I could use log insight which is connected to and monitoring Vrops.
