DP 6.0 ZDB+IR EVA4000 wait for snapclone?

Stefan Wusowski — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 07:49:51 GMT

Hello,
with DP 6.0 we use Zero Downtime Backup and Instant Recovery on a EVA4000. We use this for SAP R/3. The SAP ZDB Session runs about 10 minutes. The snapcloe process run about 4hours. Do i need to wait for snapclone finish befor using it on a other system or can i use it immediatly?

;-)
thanks

We use the snapclone immediatly. I noted that CV does not allows you to present the vdisk while is cloning, but SSSU can do it. I don't know how RSM would work.

Thats interesting. The Snapclone is "supposed" to be presentable after 10% of its is normalized.

Hello,
does you know how to query the status of the snapclone via SSSU?

There is an entry called "virtualdisktype". It says "snapclone_in_progress" during copy.

I can present the snapclone while it is running, btw.
