Hi All Today we have following Environment: - A Oracle Cluster with 10 Oracle DB Ressourcegroups in activ/passiv mode (All DBs runs normally on one Clusternode). - One snapcreator configfile with all DBs defined and run again the Clusternode, where hold all the Oracle DB ressources. - We have 3 snapcreator Schedules (daily,wekly,monthly) for this configfile. - In the Protection Manager we have one Dataset. Generally this Environment run smoothly :-), but we have following restrictions: - When we move one DB Ressourcegroup from one Node to the other, we have to edit everytime both configfiles (Node1: Remove Volumes/DB, Node2: Add Volumes/DB) - One PM Dataset per Clusternode with RessorcePools = Nearstore Volumes and snapvault are generated automatic. We have a long retention on the nearstore and so its horrible when a DB Ressourcegroup is moved from one Clusternode to the other or a DB is moved to another Server, because this gives new snapvault relationsships in another Volume (because its another Dataset with its own Nearstore Volumes). Future Design we want to implement for flexibility reasons: - The ability to move the Ressourcegroups separate without edit the configfile in snapcreator. - One Dataset in Protection Manager per DB Ressourcegroup (10 DB instances = 10 Datasets). For reach this flexibiliy we must have one Configfile for every DB and then we run the configfile against the DB Ressourcegroup and not the Clusternode (Backup runs then without editing any config). In this Case we have 10 Configfiles instead 1 configfile Question about this implementation: - Does this mean, that we need three Schedules for every configfile (10 configs with 3 Schedules per config = 30 Schedules). Or gives a solution, where I can start all the configs with one Schedule - Can I start all the Schedules (fe 10 daily) to the same time, because for some DB instances the same snapcreator client is involved (because this instances runs on the same physical Node) .... - Is someone out there with such a kind of configuration? I hope you understand my explanation 🙂 TIA Thomas

Hi Adai It gives a Problem with the Timezone (fe +0200) in the Snapshotname. Operations Manager is not able anymore to access the snapshot: Snapshot Name created within Protection Manager: 2012-06-06_2000+0200_daily Error Message from Restore Wizard from Operations Manager, because of the + in the snapshotname: Error: Error: Can't retrieve the list of files that can be restored: Can't list the content of the backup directory /vol/Volume/userhomes on vfiler:/Volume_backup. The reason is Unable to open directory /vol/Volume_backup/userhomes/.snapshot/2012-06-06_2000 0200_daily/: No such file or directory.. When I take a snapshot without a + in the Name (fe snapvault snapshot --> Filer(000000000000)_Volume_backup-base.300) Operations Manager has no Problem to List the Files in the snapshot..... Do you Know this behaviour? regards Thomas

Hi abhisek The Issue is: I have Integrated Two SQL Instances in Protection Manager. It mean I have run the SMSQL Configuartion Wizard twice (for every Instance) and in PM I see now 2 Datasets (one Dataset/Instance). When the Backup of each Instance is running seperatly (without federated Backup), then SMSQL trigger PM for updating the Volumes/Qtrees, which are in the Dataset (-ArchiveBackup). With the Federated Backup (Two Instances with one SMSQL Job) PM updating only the Dataset, which is linked with the Instance defined with –svr (eg: 'VirtName1/Instance1'). The other Dataset becomes a LAG error in PM, because no updating occurs..... I hope You understand my explanation of the issue.. TIA Thomas

The Answer from Richard is correct.You have to delete the snapshot sep1011 --> e.g. filer>snap delete <Volumename> sep1011 or with OnCommand System Manager...

Hi Darrell You cannot delete any Files in the snapshots, because snapshots are readonly. You can delete the File in the active Filesystem. In the snapshot you have to wait till the the retention is over (the System delete the snapshot) or you can manually delete the snapshots, where the virus.avi is in... Greetz Thomas
