Restarting all SnapVault relationships in the new volume

The qtrees on the new volume are in the normal state, not the snapvaulted state (as you can see by using the qtree status command). You must restart the SnapVault relationships in the new volume.

About this task

Note: To support data integrity in a restrictive SnapLock Compliance environment, the snapvault start -r operation saves all data that was written after the common Snapshot copy to a directory on the volume; however, you typically cannot write data after the common Snapshot copy in this situation.

Steps

  1. To see the SnapVault relationships in the old volume, enter the following command:
    snapvault status

    You can see the SnapVault relationships for all volumes. You can use the listed relationships to generate the relationships in the new volume.

  2. To restart SnapVault relationships, enter the following command for each secondary qtree:
    snapvault start -r -S pri_system:/vol/pri_vol/pri_qtree /vol/altvol/dest_qtree

    For details about the snapvault start command, see the na_snapvault(1) man page.

    Note: If you omit the -r option from the snapvault start command, the restart will fail.
