On the command line of the CommServe computer, go to software_installation_directory/Base and type the following commands:
-
To allow the tool to modify the database, type the pre-run command:
SnapManagementTool.exe preRun -vm$[instance_name] -
To rename the snapshot in the CommServe database, type the following command:
SnapManagementTool snapRename -vm$[instance_name]-array$[array_name]-vol$[volume_name]-oldsnap$[old_snap]-newsnap$[new_snap]-jobid$[snap_job_id] [-svm$[vserver]]Example:
SnapManagementTool snapRename -vm$[Instance001]-array$[netapparray101]-vol$[src_PM1]-oldsnap$[SP_2_0_0]-newsnap$[SP_2_1_1]-jobid$[100] -
To remove the write permission from the tool, type the post-run command:
SnapManagementTool.exe postRun -vm$[instance_name]
-
where:
-
instance_name is the name of the Commvault instance (for example, instance00).
-
array_name is the name of the NetApp storage array, as entered in the Arrays page.
