Database protection with the NVFAIL feature

About database protection

If NVRAM problems occur that compromise database validity, the NVFAIL feature can warn you and automatically rename the database so that it does not restart automatically. You can then make sure that the database is valid before restarting it.

Where to find more information

See Database Protection Using NVFAIL for more information about how Data ONTAP provides database protection using the nvfail option of the vol options command.

When to use NVFAIL

You use this feature only when you have databases on your filer.
