Data Backup and Recovery
Data Backup and Recovery
Hello there...
Customer is running 3.5 and getting following errors:
He was getting the same errors in the previous version so we did an upgrade about August 2012 to this version (3.5.0); As a workaround I stopped the SC -Agent service (WINDOWS Services) and started it via the command line (--star-agent).
This appeared to work for some time until now! This workaround does not work anymore. Is this fixed now? I was told that an upgrade to 3.5 would fix this issue but it didn't so don't really want to tell the customer to upgrade again if it is not fixed yet.
The error codes are mentioned in the 3.5 Admin Guide but doesn't really mention how or where to run "unquiesce"...
I have also attached a config file. Any help would be appreciated as the customer has been suffering with this issue for sometime now. Thanks all.

Solved! See The Solution

Please try the above
snapcreator.exe --profile mysql --action unquiesce --policy hourly --config nymysq01 --verbose
Please try the above
Thanks Siva.... the command you suggested worked!
One more question: The customer uses a batch file to schedule the backups: There are 4 MYSQL DB's in total:
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.4.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action snap --policy %1 --config nymysq01
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.4.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action snap --policy %1 --config nymysq02
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.4.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action snap --policy %1 --config nymysq03
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.4.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action snap --policy %1 --config nymysq04
Should I add this to the batch file to ensure that "unquiescing" is taking place?
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.5.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action unquiesce --policy %1 --config nymysq01
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.5.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action unquiesce --policy %1 --config nymysq02
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.5.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action unquiesce --policy %1 --config nymysq03
C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.5.0\snapcreator.exe" --profile mysql --action unquiesce --policy %1 --config nymysq04
Hello Supinder,
In each of the config file (ex: nymysq01.conf), you will find a variable
SC_AGENT_WATCHDOG
If you set SC_AGENT_WATCHDOG=Y and SC_AGENT_UNQUIESCE_TIMEOUT=300 (in seconds depending on how long your quiesce/snapshot operation takes,)
Then agent will perform an unquiesce operation automatically after 300 seconds expires.
thanks again...
Can i ask if this would also be an option?
APP_UNQUIESCE_CMD01
eg:
APP_UNQUIESCE_CMD01=C:\"Program Files\NetApp\NetApp_Snap_Creator_Framework\scServer3.5.0\snapcreator.exe" profile mysql --action unquiesce --policy hourly --config nymysq01
So long as no plugin is used, APP_UNQUIESCE_CMD01 will work.
If a plugin type is used, then snapcreator will ignore APP_UNQUIESCE_CMD
