If you restore using a Snapshot backup other than the latest one, you need to resume the SnapVault relationship so that Snap Creator can continue to run backups.

  1. Re-create and resynchronize the SnapVault relationship.

    hana::> snapmirror create -source-path hana1a:hana_data -destination-path
hana2b:backup_hana_data -type XDP
Operation succeeded: snapmirror create the relationship with destination
hana2b:backup_hana_data.

hana::> snapmirror resync -destination-path hana2b:backup_hana_data -type XDP

Warning: All data newer than Snapshot copy sc-backup-daily_20140430121000 on volume
hana2b:backup_hana_data will be deleted.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y
[Job 6554] Job is queued: initiate snapmirror resync to destination "hana2b:backup_hana_data".
[Job 6554] Job succeeded: SnapMirror Resync Transfer Queued

  2. To actually restart the SnapVault transfer, a manual Snapshot copy is required.

    hana::> snapshot create -vserver hana1a -volume hana_data -snapshot sv_resync

hana::> snapshot modify -vserver hana1a -volume hana_data -snapshot sv_resync -snapmirror-label daily

hana::> snapmirror update -destination-path hana2b:backup_hana_data
Operation is queued: snapmirror update of destination hana2b:backup_hana_data.

  3. Verify that the SnapVault relationship appears in the destination list.

    hana::> snapmirror list-destinations -source-path hana1a:hana_data
                                                  Progress
