We have two machines, one running Veritas Volume Manager Enterprise
Edition v4.0; we are using the VxFS snapshot method to backup 35+
million files successfully on Solaris 9.

=20

We have a Solaris 8 box that is running Veritas Volume Manger 3.5.  We
setup the snap the same on the Solaris 8 box but we've not been able to
get it to work successfully.  You run the snap commands on page 155 of
287 in the 5.1 Advanced Client PDF.  The snap commands run successfully
on the host but when we try to backup the /raid filesystem with the
Advanced Client, we get an error 156 (Snapshot Error Encountered). =20

=20

My question is, can we do this with the 3.5 version as we do with the
4.0 Enterprise version?
