I'm running into an issue while setting up snapdiff backups on our NetApp filers. Here's the scenario:

Two networks are in play here a production network, where CIFS traffic is routed, and a management network, where login-http and api-* capabilities are accessed.

The problem is, when I set the password to the filer, I use:
Code:
dsmc set password -type=filer filerview.xxxx.org  <user account> <pwd>

When I want to do a backup, I need to access those volumes on the CIFS production network; using net use to filer.xxxx.org\volume. When I run a backup "dsmc inc -snapdiff g", this error is returned: Failed to perform incremental backup operation user id and password for NAS Filer 'filer' have not been configured correctly.

So due to securtiy, CIFS traffic cannot go over the management network, and management traffic cannot go over the production network.

Is there a way to have snapdiff access the filer over one network, yet send CIFS data over another?
 
Welp, our CIFS storage is such a mess I'd like to revisit Snapdiff. Does anyone know if this is still a limitation? Thanks.
