I have two physical Windows 2012 servers with data drives that are getting snapshots. One is just a file server and does not use any snapshot synchronization. The other is a SQL server that does synchronize.
- If I go to the volume on the file server, select a snapshot, clone it and then mount it I can read and write to that volume.
- If I do the same on the SQL server, select one of its snapshots, clone it and mount it, the volume is mounted read-only.
Is this expected? Why is the SQL volume read only when the file server volume is r/w but I follow the same steps cloning the snapshot? Is there a way to see in the Nimble interface if a volume is read-only, or is this flag on the OS level somewhere? I would really like to be able to mount the SQL volumes with r/w so we can use them as dev instances of the data if needed.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHello this is due to the OS, to clear the flag read only flags from the volume / disk.
diskpart
list disk
select disk x
attributes disk clear readonly
select volume x
detail volume
attributes volume clear readonly
attributes volume clear hidden
attributes volume clear shadowcopy

Re: Snapshot clones - one is read only, another is not?
You can also use the new mounting tools within Nimble Windows Toolkit 2.3 to assist with the re-signaturing and clearing of read only within Diskpart should you want to. Here's Julian Cates's blog on the feature: Nimble OS 2.3 - Restore Workflow Automation for Snapshots
