    It may be that the path in the command is incorrect.  If so, then using the correct path syntax should work.  

    Howerver, if the path is correct then the issue is most likely due to the mapping in the DB for the volume target to archiveID being incorrect or missing. FSAUtility will check the FileServerVolumeArchiveEntry table for this association before executing.

    Can you see that combination of Fileserver and Fileshare in the Targets of the VAC?

    This could be an issue with the volume being removed as a target, which would remove the association to the archive from the database.

    Yeah you are right Plaudone, i attach the volume the target and the command running properly but at last its giving an error.

    Error: The path \\PBAD-EMDESIGN.pbad.sbg.com.sa\DOKAAEP\ARCH SHOP DWG FROM ABCD is not associated with an archived volume. If you migrated placeholders to this location, let the File System Archiving task process the volume, then stop the task and re-run this command.

     

    can u please share me the steps to resolve the above issue.

    Hi mrauf,

    You will need to check SQL to determine what the VolumeEntryId is for that volume.  If you added a folder target and choose to create an Archive Point then that would possibly create a duplicate archive.  

     

    USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory

    SELECT * from FileServerVolumeEntry 

    WHERE VolumeName = 'DOKAEP' 

     

    From this you can then obtain the VolumeEntryId for the DOKAEP volume. With this number you can perform another query. 

     

    USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory

    SELECT * from FileServerVolumeArchiveEntry 

    WHERE VolumeEntryId = 'Number_from_first_query'

     

    This may not return any rows, which would seem to be the indication from the error.  If so, then the volume will need to be associated with the archive.   I would suggest opening a Support case so that they can walk you through the correct process.
