Hi I am trying to replicate an Exchange and SQL, the Exchange servers volume is 2TB in size, the SQL servers volume is 650GB. So the following steps worked for the SQL database but died on the Exchange and I am hoping someone can help me recover my snap plexes. The snapshot on the exchange server tooks roughly 32 hours to run, its not really an option to run it again. so we create our snapshots with: vxassist -g vvr_dg snapstart volume1 vxassist -g vvr_dg snapstart volume2 then we create our checkpoint vxrvg -g vvr_dg checkpt1 checkstart vvr_rvg then we break off the mirror with snapstart. vxrvg -g vvr_dg -P snap snapstart EXCH_RVG (Now this procedure worked fine on the SQL server and i could split the disk groups and deport them to move the disks to the other site. However on the EXCHANGE server this command failed and the Veritas Services died and needed to be restarted in Service manager) When we restart the service, it has lost all the data on the snapstarted disks, ie they read as 0% full raw online disks. Trying to run the snapstart again yields the following error: EXCH_RDS Snapshot failed on RVG EXCH_RVG, Recommended action: Make sure that each datavol has atleast one snapstarted plex associated with it and that the snapshot mirror is syncronized. Any idea how i can get my snapstarted plexes back without waiting another weekend to try this again? Thanks Merritt.
