SMSQL snapvault post script

ANDY_MCKEE — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:28:02 GMT

Hi, I'm looking for some help again 🙂 Ideally i'd like to replace all rsh based batch files for the post backup snapvaultscripts with a powershell script based on the toolkit commands.

Snapmanger calls a bat file which in turn runs a ps1 file containing the Start-NasnapVaultSecTransfer (s) and the Start-NaSnapvaultSecSnapshot.

My issue due to my limited scripting ability is transfering the post command arguments from SnapManager -PostCmdArgs '$SqlSnapshot $SqlSnapshot $InfoSnapshot' into the -PrimarySnapshot

I can get the script to work no issue when using and explicitly stating an (_recent) snapshot in the powershell script. But we would like stick with timestamped snapmanager source snapshots.

Has anyone achieved this or any scripting tips?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

You can access parameters in Powershell like this:

param($value1,$value2)

To update the Vault relationship with the latest snapshot the script could look like this:

param($SqlSnapshot,$InfoSnapshot)

Start-NaSnapvaultSecTransfer /vol/vol_primary/qtree_primary -PrimarySnapshot $SqlSnapshot
