Process the MSDP transaction queue manually

After recovering the MSDP catalog from a backup, you must manually process the MSDP transaction queue.

To process the MSDP transaction queue manually

  1. On the MSDP storage server, run the following command:

    UNIX:/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --processqueue

    Windows:install_path\Veritas\pdde\Crcontrol.exe --processqueue

  2. To determine if the queue processing is still active, run the following command:

    UNIX:/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --processqueueinfo

    Windows:install_path\Veritas\pdde\Crcontrol.exe --processqueueinfo

    If the output shows Busy: yes, the queue is still active.

  3. To examine the results, run the following command (number 1 not lowercase letter l):

    UNIX: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --dsstat 1

    Windows:install_path\Veritas\pdde\Crcontrol.exe --dsstat 1

    The command may run for a long time; if you omit the 1, results return more quickly but they are not as accurate.
