OSSV Snapvault Relationship recovery

Sys-Admin — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:15:02 GMT

Hi All,

I'm having an issue with Snapvault on one of my file servers. I reinstalled OSSV (ver 3.0.1) on my Windows 2008R2 server and now nothing comes up when I run 'snapvault status -l' or 'snapvault destinations' from cmd prompt.

My question is how do I re-establish the relationship between the Source (Windows File server) and Destination (netapp filer) without rebaselining?

Our netapp filer is managed by a 3rd party company and they are not very forthcoming with a solution.

Hope someone can help - many thanks

In case before reinstalling the OSSV on a host you did backups of OSSV DB I would recommend you to restore the DB
