NetVault Plug-in for SnapVault Manager 10.0.1

Known issues

The following is a list of issues, including those issues attributed to third-party products, known to exist at the time of release.

Table 2. Known issues
Known issue	Issue ID
If you try to restore a non-qtree data directory, the job fails, but the job status shows “Restore Completed.”	26968
When relocating data during restore, if you include a trailing slash in the Relocate path, the restore job fails.	27071
On Windows, when you select the SV root directory for a restore job, plug-in restores the data successfully, but the job log includes the following error message: Error Releasing Secondary Relationship: NDMP_SV_RPL_GENERIC SnapVault: ERROR 1: The specified relationship is currently involved in a transfer. Release must be done on an idle or broken-off relationship. Workaround: Release the relationship on the SV secondary filer. Use the snapvault destinations command to find the relationship that must be released.	27020
After importing a relationship, the plug-in does not display the relationship icon (“R”) on the selection tree until you refresh the Backup window.	27086
If you cancel a job during relationship initialization, the plug-in fails to remove the relationship. When you try to recreate the relationship, the plug-in displays the message “Relationship is busy.”	27130
Because all primary systems list the same number of snapshots whether they were taken for that primary system or not, the list contains both valid and invalid snapshots. When an invalid snapshot is selected for a restore, the job fails and logs show the message “No Path.”	27154
When restoring data to an open system, if you select the Restart Relationship check box, the job reports an error (“No common snapshot to use as the base for resynchronization”) and fails. Workaround: Recreate the relationship after restoring the data.	27156
After relocating data to a new directory, the release statement fails and the job logs show the message “No release-able destination found that matches those parameters.” This message can be ignored.	27376

Upgrade and compatibility

•

Installation packages for Linux-based systems: Starting with 10.0, NetVault Backup offers separate client-only and server-only installation packages for Linux-based systems. Both the server and the client packages are available in hybrid and pure 64-bit versions.

•

Hybrid server and client packages: The hybrid packages (LinuxX86HybridServer and LinuxX86Hybrid) are intended for Linux users who do not have a pure 64-bit-only requirement.

These packages let you upgrade from pure 32-bit and hybrid installations of NetVault Backup. The hybrid packages retain binary compatibility with all previous versions of plug-ins, including those plug-ins marked as 32-bit and those plug-ins designated 64-bit. These packages also work on 32-bit systems that do not have 64-bit capability.

•

Pure 64-bit server and client packages: The pure 64-bit packages (LinuxX86Pure64Server and LinuxX86Pure64) packages are intended for pure 64-bit Linux distributions. If you have a specific reason that you cannot use any 32-bit components (for example, you are using a Linux distribution that does not run 32-bit code), use these packages.

The pure 64-bit packages cannot be used to upgrade existing pure 32-bit or hybrid NetVault Backup installations. You must remove the existing pure 32-bit or hybrid version and install the pure 64-bit version separately. To reduce confusion, warning messages have been added to both the upgrade and installation packages to ensure that you understand that they are not compatible.
