Running the SnapTest Tool

Updated

Before You Begin

Ensure that the MediaAgent software is installed on the computer that will be diagnosed by the SnapTest tool.

If there is no CommServe server installed on the computer that you run the SnapTest tool, the SnapTest tool can still run in decoupled mode.

For the NetApp storage array, it is recommended that the revert operation is not tested using the automatic test. Test the revert operation using manual operations.

Procedure

If the software installation is decoupled, the SnapTest tool runs in decoupled mode.

If the software is in coupled mode, use the command line if you want to start the SnapTest in decoupled mode:

SnapTest -local
    

When multiple instances are installed on the system, the default instance is selected. To select a specific instance, use the command:

SnapTest -vm <InstanceName> -local
    

If the software is in coupled mode, use the command line if you want to start the SnapTest in coupled mode:

SnapTest
    

When multiple instances are installed on the system, the default instance is selected. To select a specific instance, use the command:

SnapTest -vm <InstanceName>
