How To
Summary
The vSnap servers in an IBM Spectrum Protect Plus environment provide disk storage for protecting data through backup and replication processes. You can repair and replace a failed vSnap server that is configured in your IBM Spectrum Protect Plus environment to act as the source for backup and replication services. The source vSnap server must be repaired so that backup and replication services can resume.
Objective
Repair a source vSnap server that has failed.
Steps
Before you begin
Important: It is assumed that all vSnap servers in the environment are protected by replication. If a vSnap server is not replicated and it fails, it cannot be recovered to a state that would allow it to continue as a disk storage source or target. In the absence of replication processes, you must create a new vSnap server and set up service level agreement (SLA) policies. When you run the policies, a new full backup process runs to the new vSnap server.
To determine which type of repair process is applicable to your vSnap server, see technote 1103847.
About this task
Important: Do not unregister or delete the failed vSnap server from IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. The failed vSnap server must remain registered for the replacement procedure to work correctly.
This procedure establishes a new source vSnap server in your IBM Spectrum Protect Plus environment to replace the failed source vSnap server. The new source vSnap server will contain only the most recent recovery points.Note: The version of the new vSnap server must match the version of the deployed IBM Spectrum Protect Plus appliance.
