Protect SMO Backup (version 3.2) without Protection Manager

michaeldparker — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:16:58 GMT

Hi All,

According to the SMO 3.2 documentation, I should be able to use Post scripts in SMO to tell SMO to proctect the DB to a secondary array without the use of Protection manager (see pg 186 of SMO Unix guide) I'm attempting to follow the directions, but keep getting this error:

Snapmirror update failed:Can't connect to host (err=111). errno:111

This is when the script is executing this line: $SM_SNAPDRIVE_HOME/bin/smsv snapmirror update $SECONDARY_STORAGE_NAME:$SECONDARY_VOLUME_NAME

I have added the array to snapdrive via the "snapdrive config set" command and I'm certain that the password is correct. Does anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot this problem? I assume by host it is referring to the storage array?

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michaeld ,

Acctually I haven't used post scripts in SMO yet because I suppose that it's not easy to use. This is my own way , hope that it's helping you.

-Create volumes in the secondary system.

-Create snapmirror relationship between primary and secondary system in the secondary system.

- Initialize snapmirror.

Regards

Tien

I have the same issue but with SMSAP and SnapVault update.

Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

I could not find any log indicating what is the real problem

When I execute the command (smsv snapvault update) manually, I could not create the problem.

This is what I have in the SMSAP log file:

See KB ID: 2017185

For error 111

Symptoms

SnapMananger for Oracle/ SnapManager for SAP (SMO/ SMSAP) are shipped with a post-task script to update an existing SnapMirror or SnapVault relationship. A failure occurs when trying to use this script:

Plugin "Protect Backup" completed with fatal errors and returned [[execute started, SECONDARY_STORAGE_NAME : FILER, SECONDARY_VOLUME_NAME : /vol/smo_data/qtree, Snapmirror update failed:Can't connect to host (err=111). errno:111, Command complete.]]. Plugin processing has been stopped.

Cause

The post-task script calls the smsv executable that ships with SnapDrive for UNIX (SDU). This executable sends ZAPI calls to the secondary storage controller and is unable to contact the storage controller.

Solution

Perform the following steps as a workaround:

Establish network connectivity from the database host to the secondary storage controller

Set up SnapDrive to connect to the secondary storage controller

snapdrive config set <storage user name> <storage name or ip>

Set up the secondary storage controller to recieve ZAPI calls

options httpd.admin.enable on

-OR-

options httpd.admin.ssl.enable on

I'm having error 110
