Test Azure Application Consistent Snapshot tool

  • Artikkeli

This article explains how to run the test command of the Azure Application Consistent Snapshot tool that you can use with Azure NetApp Files.

Introduction

A test of the configuration is done using the azacsnap -c test command.

Command options

The -c test command has the following options:

  • --test hana tests the connection to the SAP HANA instance.

  • --test storage tests communication with the underlying storage interface by creating a temporary storage snapshot on all the configured data volumes, and then removing them.

  • --test all will perform both the hana and storage tests in sequence.

  • [--configfile <config filename>] is an optional parameter allowing for custom configuration file names.

Check connectivity with SAP HANA azacsnap -c test --test hana

This command checks the HANA connectivity for all the HANA instances in the configuration file. It uses the HDBuserstore to connect to the SYSTEMDB and fetches the SID information.

For SSL, this command can take the following optional argument:

  • --ssl= forces an encrypted connection with the database and defines the encryption method used to communicate with SAP HANA, either openssl or commoncrypto. If defined, then this command expects to find two files in the same directory, these files must be named after the corresponding SID. Refer to Using SSL for communication with SAP HANA.

Output of the azacsnap -c test --test hana command

azacsnap -c test --test hana

BEGIN : Test process started for 'hana'
BEGIN : SAP HANA tests
PASSED: Successful connectivity to HANA version 2.00.032.00.1533114046
END   : Test process complete for 'hana'

Check connectivity with storage azacsnap -c test --test storage

The azacsnap command will take a snapshot for all the data volumes configured to verify that it has the correct access to the volumes for each SAP HANA instance. A temporary snapshot is created and then removed for each data volume to verify snapshot access for each file system.

Output of the azacsnap -c test --test storage command

azacsnap -c test --test storage

BEGIN : Test process started for 'storage'
BEGIN : Storage test snapshots on 'data' volumes
BEGIN : 2 task(s) to Test Snapshots for Storage Volume Type 'data'
PASSED: Task#2/2 Storage test successful for Volume
PASSED: Task#1/2 Storage test successful for Volume
END   : Storage tests complete
END   : Test process complete for 'storage'
