Other than admin or who has the privilege on the filer, who else can set up a new SS schedule?

netappmagic — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:51:25 GMT

All the sudden, a new snapshot schedule under the SS policy associating with a volume has been setup. As before there is only one schedule associating a volume, which will be taken once per day. Now, 2nd schedule got created, and once every 8 hours, in addtion to previous one.

We have a few people who have admin access. My question, can customer set up a snapshot policy?

What is log file should I check into to find out details about this change?

ver: 8.2.3

Thanks you.

Not sure what you mean by customer, but if you mean end user, no, unless they have rights.

check the audit log file

/etc/log/auditlog

Could backup software somehow create schedules? I heard that we are using snapshot backup, TSM. Could this integrated software start up SS?

Mentioned /etc/log/auditlog file is fine for 7-mode systems.

On cDOT the auditing has been changed completely.

See here how to check who was doing what on your system:

well, It is weird. I could not find how the snpashot all the suddent starts to be scheduled.

I checked auditlog.* under /mroot/etc/log, I don't see any related actions, and also command-history.log.* as well.

Can anybody please shed some lights here?
