Migrating placeholders with FSA Utility
I have a migration of placeholders from one volume to another volume in the same file server. I have run the command like this: FSAUtility.exe -pm -s "\\server\folder" -d "\\\server\folder" -l 0 There were errors with the placeholder migration See the log file for details: <ErrorCode>Exception when processing folder – Failure: Not a valid Win32 FileTime. Parameter name: fileTime</ErrorCode> i have attached the log file also . Kindly advise. Thank you very much2.4KViews0likes5CommentsEnterprise Vault - Move live shared data + placeholders to new drive
Hi all, after some advice if possible. Due to space restrictions, I need to move all file share data from DRIVE1 to DRIVE2 on the same server. The data on DRIVE1 includes EV placeholders thatI need to make sure will still retrieve archived files once migrated to DRIVE2. I plan to robocopy data from DRIVE1 to DRIVE2 then swap the drive mappings around, keeping the current drive letter in place on the new DRIVE2, but I am unsure how to handle the EV part of the equation. Could I restore all current placeholder files within their current folder location to the new DRIVE2 before going live? As a test almost? What would be the recommended way to achieve this without any possibility of EV data corruption\issues retrieving files etc... Many thanks in advance.802Views0likes2CommentsFSA Bulk Recall Slow / Queued - Stop process?
I am currently running a bulk recall of files through FSAUtility in order to migrate them to another server. The process has been running fine until last night when it appeared to stop migrating files. I am using the fsautility command with -t -s \\Source -d \\Target -f -l 0 I attempted to re-run a folder but the XML logs stated that the files are already queued however they have not yet been migrated. I therefore tested a folder I have not yet migrated and getting the number of files is extremely slow, has been running for 20 minutes and has queued 5 files so far. I believe that the recall facility may have died or be stuck, so I ran a dtrace on FSAUtility in verbose mode and all I get in the logs is similar to below: 1117033 11:56:53.396 [5980] 1117034 11:56:53.396 [5980] 1117035 11:56:53.755 [2692] 1117036 11:56:53.755 [2692] 1117037 11:56:57.421 [7144] 1117038 11:56:57.421 [7144] 1117039 11:56:58.653 [2036] 1117040 11:56:58.653 [2036] 1117041 11:57:00.510 [2192] 1117042 11:57:00.510 [2192] 1117043 11:57:05.907 [1724] 1117044 11:57:05.907 [1724] 1117045 11:57:20.665 [7084] 1117046 11:57:20.665 [7084] 1117047 11:57:23.098 [5984] 1117048 11:57:23.098 [5984] 1117049 11:57:23.410 [5980] 1117050 11:57:23.410 [5980] 1117051 11:57:23.769 [2692] 1117052 11:57:23.769 [2692] 1117053 11:57:28.699 [2036] 1117054 11:57:28.699 [2036] 1117055 11:57:30.930 [2192] 1117056 11:57:30.930 [2192] 1117057 11:57:35.953 [1724] 1117058 11:57:35.953 [1724] 1117059 11:57:48.932 [2768] 1117060 11:57:48.932 [2768] 1117061 11:57:50.851 [7084] 1117062 11:57:50.851 [7084] 1117063 11:57:52.770 [5320] 1117064 11:57:52.770 [5320] 1117065 11:57:53.144 [5984] 1117066 11:57:53.144 [5984] What I would like to do is stop the recall, clear the queue and start it off again but how can you stop the recall process and clear the queue? Any suggestions on this would be much appreciated as I can't find any service that relates to this or any details on how to stop the existing recalls and clear the queue. Thanks in advance.1.1KViews0likes1CommentFSAUtility bulk data recall including -recurse to new location
I am quite used to FSAUtility however I am struggling with a requirement. I currently have EV10, a number of file servers all with archived data. I need to migrate out all the data form the FSA vault partitions for each file server to a new destination but leave the existing placeholders intact allowing for the clients to still access the archived data. I have been testing this with the FSAUtility -t -s UNCPath -d UNCPath however the utility only migrate the files in the direct UNC path and does not include the sub folders or any files in the subfolders. It also does not create any subfolders on the destination. Can I mix use the FSAUtility -b with the -t -s UNCPath -d UNCPath - recurse to achieve this at all therefore mixing the options? Or is there another simpler way? If I use the -b option can I provide a different destination UNCPath? or can I just use the -t -s and -recurse together with the destination? Any thoughts on this woudl be appreciated. Thanks in advance745Views0likes1Comment
