Hi G,
Thanks for your prompy replies.
No more production LUNs, they have been migrated to cDOT environment long back. Basically, to keep the historic data vault archive was kept secured. There is no source for this Vaulted arhived, it's been removed. All we have is a volume that has weeklys snapvault snapshots. I am pretty sure now that these are self generated snapshots. Hence, the snapshot is not application consistent. That's the reason why SQL is asking for LDFs.
I had NDMPCOPIED the LUN from a snapshot to the another volume.
I guess the bottom line is - Had it been production LUN with SMSQL snaps, MDF alone was enough. However, as this is a vaulted self generated non-application aware snapshot, the data is inconsitent sate and therefore we will need LOGs [ldfs]. I guess, had they been tested before removing the logs volume, they would have realized it and would have never removed it.
Is there anything you would like to add here ?
Thanks,
Ashwin
