SnapCenter SAP HANA retention issue
Applies to
- SnapCenter Plugin for SAP HANA 4.6
Issue
- SAP HANA in HA active/passive configuration where active node has data on volume <volA> and passive on volume <volB>
- When backups run snapshot are created on active volume, in this example on volA but the retention it is applied on bot volA and volB
- What will happen in some days is that the last snapshot on volB cannot be deleted because it is a base line of SM relationship hence the backups end with a warning
Remove Snapshot '<snapshot_name>' failed on volume
'<volA>'. This Snapshot copy is currently used as a reference Snapshot copy by one or more
SnapMirror relationships. Deleting the Snapshot copy can cause future SnapMirror operations to fail.
