Linux LVM and snapclones (EVA8000)

[Robinson Maureira_1]

Hi all,

I have a setup with 2 EVA8000, using Continuous Access to replicate the data and I'm taking snapclones in the second storage.

My main problem comes when presenting those clones to a recovery machine, since the metadata is sometimes inconsistent. If I run fsck on the volumes all works ok, but I can't automate that.

I'm using SSSU and the ADD MULTISNAP command to trigger all snapclones belonging to a single volumegroup at once. Even with that sometimes this metadata problem arises.

I'm now considering in suspending C.A., take the snapclones and then activate the replication again, but I'm not sure if that'll make any difference.

Any experience with a similar setup or any hints?

TIA and best regards.

Rob.
