Hello Team,

 

I'm trying to install postgreSQL custom plugin for snapcenter 4.2 on a Centos 7.7.

I have modified my /etc/redhat-release to make my host looks like it's a real redhat.

So installation was succesfull.

I can see on my host that both scc and spl service are running:

 

[root@centos ~]# /opt/NetApp/snapcenter/scc/bin/scc status

SnapCenter PluginCreator Service is running as process 5549

I have install this plugin on port 8146

And as you can see my host is listening on that port:

[root@centos ~]# netstat -ltnp | grep -w ':8146'
tcp6       0      0 :::8146                 :::*                    LISTEN      4102/java

But SnapCenter GUI display the following error regarding services on my host:

Do i have any chance to get this plugin working ona Centos or do i must install a redhat before anything else?

 

TIA

Hi,

I am using snapcreator 4.3.3p1 for setting up backup of HANA 2 multi-tenant with a single database tenant.

I have created a single configuration which does local snapshot backup and file based backup.

 

Manual execution of file based backup works fine, but scheduled file based backups doesn't work, schedule doesn't execute at all.  What could be the issue?

 

However, manual and scheduled snapshot based backups is working fine.  Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

SnapCenter SQL Plug In Backup Type

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I am just testing the SnapCenter SQL Plug-In and preparing to migrate from SnapManager for SQL. The link below describes the three backup types, however to me the documentation doesn't really clarify what they mean practically speaking.

 

I want to replicate what we do in SnapManager which is a full nightly backup and tlog backups every 15 minutes. My guess is that I should schedule a nightly Full backup and log backup (to get a full + tlog) and then a Transaction log backup every 15 minutes. From what I can tell, the tlog backup job doesn't have a retention setting. Does it look at the Full backup and log backup job for the retention?

 

Also: is the simplest way to do this to make the SQL instance the lone resource of a resource group, and then apply both backup types to the resource group?

 

Lastly, I would assume that Full database backup is simply a full backup without a tlog backup. However, the description in the link below seems to indicate it is actually a system database backup only. If that is accurate, would I then schedule this type of backup separately?

 

Would love any feedback or assistance on this as I find the options very confusing.

how is it possible to change the destination of the backup transaction logs (.trb) for Microsoft SQL-Server (2012) ? Does this change have to be made in SnapManager or in sql Server Management Studio ?

Data Broker Migration Question

$
0
0

Hello,

I am planning to migrate our SnapCenter VMware Plug-In 4.1.1 to the Data Broker 1.0.1 sometime tomorrow. The PowerShell command listed is:

 

invoke-SCVOVAMigration -SourceSCVHost old-SCV-host-IP
-DestinationSCVOVAHost new-OVA-IP -OVACredential OVA-credentials
-ByPassValidationCheck -Overwrite -ContinueMigrationOnStorageError
-ScheduleOffsetTime time-offset

 

For the most part this seems straightforward, however I can find no explanation for the "ScheduleOffsetTime" switch. What does this mean? Syntax indicates we are to enter a time-offset but I don't know what that should be. Any ideas?

Skipping Databases in Simple Recovery Mode from SnapCenter Log Backups

$

0

We are in the early stages of testing the SnapCenter Plug-In for SQL to replace SnapManager for SQL. We noticed today that tlog backups generate errors if any databases are in simple recovery mode. Since there are typically a mix of databases that are and aren't in SRM, is there any way to skip SRM databases during tlog backups?

Data Broker Scripting

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

Has anyone any experience getting scripts to call from the data broker policy- aka snapcentre plugin for vSphere? I have a perl script setup to do the same thing as this script in PowerShell for windows. If I run it within the data broker itself, it works fine, but calling it from the policy fails.

 

Documentation is a little sparse, it just says it needs to be perl (which it is) and to call it, I'm putting an absolute path in the pre-post area. Documentation is here for reference: https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2861085

 

The path I'm putting in the policy is /home/scripts/dc1_srm_mgmt_01_volumes.pl

 

If I run "perl /home/scripts/dc1_srm_mgmt_01_volumes.pl" locally on the data broker it works just fine. I know with the PowerShell script I ran for windows for some reason it used the SYSTEM account not the service account for the agent. I'm wondering what account it uses to run the perl script on the data broker appliance? It might be a permission thing, I've tried chmod 777 for fun but no joy. Not sure about the owner, it's currently the diag user. Perhaps I should change this to root or maint?

 

Any help would be appreicated. Oh and yes please develop native cascade support, fan-out is too limited unless you've got enough bandwidth to run a mirror and a second vault across your line Smiley Sad

Data Broker 1.0.1 Migration - preserve IP

$

Hey guys,

 

I'm looking at doing a migration from Windows based SnapCenter Plug-in for VMWare VSphere (4.1.1) to NetApp DataBroker  1.0.1.

In reading the documentation I see how the Invoke-SCVOVAMigration requires a source and a destination deployed OVA.

My issue is that I would like to re-use the IP address that I put in place when I initially installed the Plug-in on Windows.

My reasoning is that I have a number of firewall rules I will need to put in place between the SnapCenter and the Plugin (which in this case is off-site).

 

So couple questions, any way we can manually export the metadata into some sort of file, power off the old plugin, register it and then power up the databroker, add it and then import the metadata?

 

Failing that, can I can re-ip a NetApp Databroker after the fact?

If so where would I have to reconfigure (in terms of the vCenter etc)??

 

Any input would be helpful.

 


SnapCenter and Storage Replica

Hello,

 

We are trying POC with SnapCenter and Microsoft Server-to-server storage replication with Storage Replica, the concept is creating cluster storage disk similar to Exchange DAG or SQL AlwaysON.

 

The issue is when we changing failover cluster role to secondary server SnapCenter is stopping to connect the LUN path to the data disk. In moment we are rolling back to first server the path to disk is back. Do someone saw similar issue or processed to get this solution to work.

 

Backup Oracle and NFS vol in same job?

$
0
0

Im wondering if there is a mechanism in the newer versions of SnapCenter to backup an oracle database and at the same time backup a related NFS volume.

 

We have an app with an Oracle back end, to get a proper application consistent backup we'd shut down the app, snapshot the oracle DB, and the NFS application at the same time (or as close as since its shut down at this point), then bring all the services back up. Now the stopping and starting of services we can use pre and post scripts in a policy...but do I really need to have two seperate jobs to backup one thing? There's got to be a way to manage it with one policy/job/setup....surely? We cant be in a unique position of wanting to this sort of thing.
