Snapvault relationships not updating in either 4.0 or version 4.1

Hi All,

I use SC 4.0p1 to backup a DB2 DB. We have the SC jobs configured to protect the database through the use of to OnCommand (latest version). I am attempting to test with a server cloned from production that upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 will not introduce any problems. The OnCommand dataset is conffigured to mirror then vault the data. Since standing up this test server (identical to production), the mirrors update, but the vaults don't update correctly. Each vault relationship is configured like this:

ATLFAS02:/vol/snap_q/- ATLFAS02:/vol/snap_q_vault/default Snapvaulted 00:03:30 Idle

ATLFAS02:/vol/snap_q/q0 ATLFAS02:/vol/snap_q_vault/q0 Snapvaulted 71:47:43 Idle

In the log of the production server that is updating the vaults properly, I see this:

Notice that SC is adding protection for the - and q0 relationships.

On the test server that I have set up, if I run a SC job, I see this:

As you can see, it is only adding the - relationships. As a result, the q0 vaults are not updating. Not realizing that it was not working properly, I upgraded my test SC server to 4.1P2 and still have the identical problem.

Any thoughts on why this is not working correctly?

Thanks

Michael

Never mind. Just ignore me. It's Friday. It's always the little details that get you. I double checked my dataset and noticed a subtle mistake. I corrected it and all seems fine. I think I've successfully validated that the 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade doesn't break anything for me. Thanks!
