Stopping Open Systems SnapVault agents

You can stop the Open Systems SnapVault agent to perform maintenance on one or more selected clients or to reconfigure Open Systems SnapVault. When troubleshooting protection errors on a client running Open Systems SnapVault, stopping and then restarting the Open Systems SnapVault agent might solve the problem.

Before you begin

The client must be running the Open Systems SnapVault 2.3 or later agent and NetApp Host Agent 2.3.1 or later.

You must be authorized to perform all the steps of this task; your RBAC administrator can confirm your authorization in advance.

About this task

There is no Open Systems SnapVault plug-in for Solaris. Therefore, management tasks such as start and stop of the Open Systems SnapVault agent cannot be performed from NetApp Management Console on Solaris systems.

Steps

  1. From the menu bar, click Hosts > OSSV.
  2. Select one or more Open Systems SnapVault clients.
  3. Click Stop.

    Note: Stopping the Open Systems SnapVault agent on a client causes the backup service on that client to stop. Be sure to restart the agent if you want to resume backup protection.
