Restore HANA to a new Server instance

Hi

 

Are there some TR or quick step tutorials, on how to restore a hana DB to a new Server?

 

As we have a multi tenency environment, the challenge is to restore singel schemas for customers,

and not the whole Hana DB?

 

Is there any aproach on this? 

 

I think the way to do it, is to restore the DB to a new Server, export the single schema with a SQL query.

And import it then to the productiv system?

 

Do i'am right this way?

 

I have tried several ways, but i was not able to restore the Data to a diffrent Server.

Mount the Log and Backup Drive to the new System, Hana Studio correctly find my backup-snapshots.

But they are highlightet red (not available) and if a attach a clone ofe the DB Volume to the new Server, i got some login errors.

 

Thank you for your ideas.

Hi guys,

 

when I try to install Snapdrive 7.1.3P3 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 I am getting an error: InstallShield DLL Custom Action.

Please see attached screenshot.

 

Do you have an idea what I can do?

 

I didn't reboot the server yet.

Hi

 

Unfortunately the screenshot does not help to solve the problem.

 

with this type of issue i would suggest to:

 

- check if all the prerequisites are met

- if you have an antivirus engine try to disable it during the installation

- from the screenshot seems that the installation procedure calls the installshield that is not able to perform some customer action. Perhaps a tird party software prevent tha access to the temp folder ( %temp%) on the windows host. Please check fi there is some software (monitoring software or similar..) up and running on the machine

- If you can, please share the msi installation log (available in the  %temp% folder ) and the snapdrive installation logs

 

maybe in that way we will be able to see in which phase the installation fails

Hi guys,

 

I logged into the server as administrator, then I retried the installation and it worked fine.

Maybe there is something wrong with my AD-account although it is a member of the local administrator group.

 

Many thanks to matte.

Hi

 

yes, i think you are right but anyway this is the procedure to restore and recover SAP HANA SBs

 


    Within Snap Creator:
        Select “Restore” for the SAP HANA system.
        Select restore from primary or secondary storage, depending on the availability of the backup at the primary storage.
        Select storage controller, volume name, and Snapshot copy name. Snapshot copy name correlates with the backup ID earlier.
        For multinode SAP HANA systems, multiple volumes need to be restored:
            Choose Add more restore items.
            Select storage controller, volume name, and Snapshot copy name.
            Repeat this process for all required volumes.
        Restore process is started
        Restore finished for all volumes.

 

then maybe you can share the error you get

thanks

Hello 

with cluster mode we don't have nearstore feature anymore.

Maximum number of concurrent transfers is related to platform model

Most of platform supports at least 100 simultaneous transfers.

However I would recommend you to contact your account team for better clarifying that

Hi Matt,

 

Thank you very much for your response,

 

The port number didnt change during the upgrade, the port is still the default port - 8443.

The "testconnect script" is getting the follow error; (you wrote 'snapcenter' instead of 'snapcreator')

WARNING: Failed connecting to SnapCenter "<SnapCreatorServer>" on port number "8443". Error Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority '<SnapCreatorIP>:8443'.

 

I found something very strange,

I am trying to access the snap creator server from two different servers (a WFA server and the local SnapCreator server).

I get the "SSL" error from both of the servers (ApiVersion 1.0), but I found that in the snapcreator server, after a powershell connection to the netapp, the connection to the local snapcreator server works (ApiVersion 1.1). It doesnt work in the WFA server.

The weird thing with those authentication errors, is that they are (as the name seems to indicate) for either cluster or node connections, not SVM's are seen earlier.

How did you configure your storage systems in VSC configuration, for SVM or cluster?

 

Besides that the only place I know VSC/SMVI has some bespoke configuration, would be in the override.smvi file (hidden) in the smvi subdirectory of VSC.

Backing up UNIX security style volume using a Windows client

We have a volume set to UNIX style permissions and we're trying to back it up using software running on Windows.  From my understanding of this doc (http://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-3490.pdf) it's best not to set it to MIXED style permissions so my question is — what is the best way to make this volume readable from a Windows client without messing with the security style?  Is NDMP the only way?

After upgrading Snap Creator Server from 4.1 to 4.3, the job monitor is not showing any new jobs. I followed all the steps in the installation guide. When I increase the size of the Job monitor only more older jobs (pre upgrade) are being displayed. The last shown job is the last before upgrading Snap Creator Framework.

Sceduled jobs are running fine, but they just dont show in the job monitor.

 

Please advice.

I am trying to script the end to end process of a new server build, setting up snap center, creating and connecting the default luns in windows.

 

Looking through the snap centre 2.0 cmdlet reference guide i have found all the commands I need and tested them separately however to create the lun it says to use new-sdlun

 

This doesn't appear to be part of the module that installs or any other netapp one I can find and i cannot find any more information on it, has any got any experience with this command?

 

New-sdvolume is there but no lun

 

any help appreciated

Re: Moving Snapprotect Volumes to an other aggregate

Hey,

 

sometimes I think we are the only ones using SnapProtect...

 

I don't want to hijack this thread, but it's awfully unanswered.

 

Anyways, have you ever got an answer to this question? We, too, need to move volumes from one (full) aggregate to another, but I don't know how to tell SnapProtect about the new location. Or will a "vol move" retain all IDs and snapvault relationships, so we wouldn't have to do anything but move?!

 

Thanks for any info.

Hello Peter,

 

thank you for your post, thats exactly my point of view. Unfortunally, i didn´t got an answer to this toppic. Last time we were able to built new policies which used the other aggregate. But now we are in the situation, that we do not have the time to wait for rebuilding the backups because of limited space. So only a real "move" would help us or to buy a shelf only for reorganization. The last is not realy an option for us. But I´m in contact with our technical support. If there is a way and they will find it, I will let u know.

 

Regards

 

Felix
