We are trying to use the SCCLI tool with Snapcentre to create some scripts to clone Oracle DBs. The  guide  does not indicate how to sign into Snapcentre silently but from testing it seems we canuse the -password option. Is this the only method available to us and if so why is it no documented?      ... View more

Hello guys, Let me try to explain my case, I'm use SnapCreator 4.3P1 with Sybase plugin to backup Sybase database, currently I'm able to backup a Sybase databases  'master', 'model' and 'PP1' (PP1 is our SAP database).   The question is, there is a way to backup all SAP data bases including 'saptools', 'sybsystemdb', 'sybsystemprocs', and 'sybmgmtdb'?   At the end I wold like backup 'master', 'model', 'PP1', 'saptools', 'sybsystemdb', 'sybsystemprocs', and 'sybmgmtdb' at the same time Maybe a parameter that need to add in the custom values or a scritp in the policy definition Thanks in advanced for your time        SAP NOTE Backup: 1. Log on to SAP ASE as user sapsa and quiesce all non-temporary databases. Example: To quiesce databases 'master', 'model', '<DBSID>', 'saptools', 'sybsystemdb', 'sybsystemprocs', and 'sybmgmtdb', use the following SQL text: quiesce database all_tag hold master, model, <DBSID>, saptools, sybsystemdb, sybsystemprocs, sybmgmtdb for external dump go Replace <DBSID> in the above text with the name of your SAP database. Place the above SQL text in a file called quiesce_all.sql . Call it in isql as follows: isql -S<DBSID> -Usapsa -P< PASSWD> -w1024 -b --retserverror -i quiesce_all.sql When the call is executed using the option --retserverror , the return value of isql is 2 if a severe SQL error is returned (0, if successful). You can use the return code of isql to determine the success of the quiesce command. In the SAP ASE error log you should see a message similar to the one below: 00:0002:00000:00024:2013/05/08 10:08:51.63 server QUIESCE DATABASE command with tag all_tag is being executed by process 24. 00:0002:00000:00023:2013/05/08 10:08:51.80 server Process 24 successfully executed QUIESCE DATABASE with HOLD option for tag all_tag. Processes trying to issue IO operation on the quiesced database(s) will be suspended until user executes Quiesce Database command with RELEASE option. 2. Perform the external backup command to get a consistent snapshot of all the relevant file systems once the quiesce command has been executed successfully.   ... View more

Hi, I might have a problem with SnapManager for Hyper-V Version: 2.1.4.2800 P2 or with SnapDrive Version: 7.1.5 P5 ?   I cannot manually delete backups in the SMHV console, even though the SMHV console shows deletion and that everything has been deleted, but again after refresh it shows all backups? (see picture)   The snapinfo snapshot is also not deleted.   When automatically starting a backup from the dataset or through the scheduler, everything works normally and old snapshots marked for delete are deleted as well as snapinfo snapshots.   The problem is only with manual deletion through the snap manager for hyper-v console? I can manually delete the snapshot through snap drive but I didn't need to do that on the old non cluster 7 mode.   The VM and snapshot are on CSV lun at two node Windows server 2022 failover cluster and storage ONTAP 9.10.1P5 version. The one node is owner of CSV and the VM.  The all configuration is doing on this node. ... View more
