SnapManager for SQL and 8.2 cluster SnapVault

carstensejer — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:42:41 GMT

Does the SMSQL pluging not support SnapVault when running a 8.2 cluster mode?

[2014-02-18 14:56:07,734] ERROR: SCF-00043: SnapVault is not supported in Clustered Data ONTAP, set NTAP_SNAPVAULT_UPDATE to N in configuration.

This error is coming from the SC server so it seems some controller or vserver is not 8.2? Does this work without the plugin?

Also do you have the CLUSTER* options in config set? If so you shouldnt have them set, this could be causing issue.

Hi Keith

I'm using 2 simulators runniing 8.2 cluster mode (primary: mirrorcluster/smnode (svm) and SnapVault: vaultcluster/svnode (svm)).

Doesn't make a difference to set cluster options. Have attached logs.

How should I try without the plugin?

I have been able to make SnapManager/SnapDrive make the SnapVault update by adding "-archivebackup -archivedbackupretention daily" to SMSQL_BACKUP_OPTIONS, but shouldn't SnapCreator be able to do the SnapVault update?

hello Carsten,

I do have the same problem on physical CDOT cluster (6 nodes, 2 nodes are dedicated to snapvault). Has your problem been resolved meanwhile? If yes I would be very interested in getting solution details.

Thank you very much

Hi,

Someone has opened a support case on this. Engineering is looking into it.

If it is you, great!

If not, I suggest opening a support case so that this issue is tracked and resolved.

SnapVault and Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 work fine as of Snap Creator 4.1.
