I have a large database up to 159 GB. The database of SQL Server 2008 is saved on one machine. I don't have much knowledge about Import/Export wizard nor I have a secondary storage like pen drive which could store this 159 GB data to move database files from one machine to another. Is there any good option that I can use to migrate the database from SQL Server 2008 to 2014?

We're running 2 SnapCenter Servers hosting approx. 420 hosts.
So having snapcenter we're actually snapping 

89 ASE Databases

43 DB2 Databases

255 Oracle Databases

94 HANA Tenants

and 36 MAXDB Databases

so we have a very great interest in getting the community plugins supported furtheron
Is there any kind of member-group, NetApp Staff, nerd, freak or other intelligent individual working on or willing to continue updating or invest time into this community plugins or are we just riding dead horses?
I mean, I could live with dropping db2 sooner or later, as we're mostly backing up SAP-related Databases and SAP is squeezing out of support all but HANA and sybase (don't know what about MAXDB) but at least this will take some time.

I'm not a programmer but i could participate and eventually test Plugins at our Test-plant, in order to get productiv results.

To hear that NetApp is not supporting this community Plugins (even though it's not verified) is a nightmare for me.

Noticed a new plugin in the SC Community Toolchest.

It is called DP Glue 1.0 .

Did some research. Did some thinking too.

When you download the package, there is a large readme file.  

It would appear this product permits SnapProtect to call SnapCreator using the "sc_glue.exe" executable. It seems SnapProtect can ask DP Glue to quiesce and unquiesce the apps that SC supports like PostgreSQL -- which SnapProtect has no agent for.

The readme argues that the DP Glue makes error codes coming from SC easier for SP admins to comprehend.

What I do not like is that this is still listed as BETA code. And that SnapProtect can only have SC quiesce and unquiesce apps/dbs.  Then again, I guess this keeps SP in charge of the snapshot process.

I will keep watching this one.

Hi,

I am using snapcreator 4.3.3p1 for setting up backup of HANA 2 multi-tenant with a single database tenant.

I have created a single configuration which does local snapshot backup and file based backup.

Manual execution of file based backup works fine, but scheduled file based backups doesn't work, schedule doesn't execute at all.  What could be the issue?

However, manual and scheduled snapshot based backups is working fine.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am using sybase plugin fro snapcreator.  I have this requirement.

1. Check whether full sybase file level backup is running prior to database quiece.  I plan to put this check script in PRE_APP_QUIESCE_ CMD01.

2.  If this check script detects that database full backup is running, it should quit this snapcreator job.  How can I do this?

3.  If this check script detects that no database backup is running, it should continue executing this snapcreator job, i.e., quiesce, snapshot, unquiesce.  This part is straight forward.

You help is appreciated for point #2.

Thanks.

Hi,

We are migrating from Snap Creator Framework to SnapCenter.

In snapcreator framework we were able to take snapshots of CIFS volumes (on a Netapp Cluster) and trigger snapmirror to our DR site. 

Is this also possible with SnapCenter ? 

Greetings,

Hi,

We have a Snap Creator workflow using a Vault XDP relationship type and we are planning to convert that relationship to a Mirror and Vault XDP type, which is became the default with later releases of ONTAP.

In Snap Creator, we had only the Vault tab configured and that worked fine.  The workflow broke and backups are failing after converting the relationship from Vault to "Mirror and Vault".  We changed the Snap Creator configuration from Vault to Mirror but that only updates the destination DP volume but not pushing the snapshots from the source to the destination, leaving us without the backup solution and ability to recover from an earlier snapshot at the destination.

What are we doing wrong?

Thanks

Backups now fail after upgrading server to version 4.3.2.

Hello,

We have MongoDB environments using a 3-node replicaSet (without arbiter) in production. We have started making use of SnapCreator to take daily snapshots from the Primary node in the replicaSet. 

My question is, if at any point the Primary switches between nodes would the snapshot (running from Secondary node) still be useful for recovery of the entire replicaSet? If so, what should be the steps if the snapshot has to be followed with opLog replay?

In general, what's the standard practice for using SnapCreator with MongoDB replicaSets? Snapshot from all nodes/volumes?

Thanks,

Laurik
