How to handle directory name that contain white space in windows, OSSV and SnapCreator environment (such as C:/Program Files) ?

[PINYOUUDK]

Hi,

    I'm trying to configure OSSV&SnapCreator in windows environment. It work fine with source directory name is not contain white space like "C:\test01", "C:\test01\netapp" ... but if source directory name include white space like "C:\Program Files" then snapcreator result show error "No Snapvault Relationship". Below show error of my case "WINDOWSCLI01:C:\"Program Files"\IBM\Lotus\Domino"

C:\Program Files\netapp\snapvault\bin>snapvault status
Snapvault primary is ON
Source                                          Destination                   State   Lag       Status
WINDOWSCLI01:C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino  Rowena:/vol/ossv_scg/Domino   Source  00:18:09  Idle

C:\Program Files\netapp\snapvault\bin>

but when perform OSSV action, it still show [scf-00026] No Snapvault Relationship

A white-space in config file isnt supported. GUI lets you do this in SC 3.5 and lower but in 3.6 it wont. Best practices is dont use any special characters in config file name (if you can avoid it) and certainly dont use config file with white-space as it wont work.

You mean it is impossible? and no choice to avoid this?

You can try putting C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino  in quotes so "C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino" but that is about all I can think of. Otherwise maybe create a symlink in windows, forgot what those are called, junction point maybe, but I am sure there is something you can do.
