OSSV change NDMP password

BEEFY1471 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:59:10 GMT

After installing OSSV 3.0.1 I cannot find a way to input a new or change the existing. NDMP password. is there a way to do this?

If you have to re-install OSSV what files and folders should be backed up to save the config for snapvault relationships?

Many Thanks

Will

Here’s how to change the NDMP password:

Open up the Command prompt (on Windows) or Terminal (on Unix) ie. OSSV Host.
Navigate to install_dir/bin folder.
Run svpassword.
You will be prompted for a new password. Enter the password.
Restart the OSSV service on the host.

e.g.

[/]$ cd /usr/snapvault/bin  [/usr/snapvault/bin]$ ./svpassword  Password: <Enter the password here>  Password changed

The OSSV database for a particular relationship can also be restored if needed. It would be in root of destination qtree of NetApp filer.

Restore the

.OSSV_DATABASE_BACKUP file from the root of the destination qtree to a file in any temporary location on the OSSV host. For example:

<install_dir>\bin\snapvault restore –S fas1:/vol/backups/ossv1/.OSSV_DATABASE_BACKUP C:\temp\database

The OSSV service running on the host will automatically recognize this as a database restore and complete the operations to put the recovered database in place.
