Verifying that the VSS Hardware Provider was used successfully

To verify that the Data ONTAP VSS Hardware Provider was used successfully after a Snapshot copy was taken, complete this step.

Step

1. Navigate to System Tools > Event Viewer > Application in MMC and look for an event with the following values.

   Source	Event ID	Description
   Navsspr	4089	The VSS provider has successfully completed CommitSnapshots for SnashotSetId id in n milliseconds.

   Note: VSS requires that the provider initiate a Snapshot copy within 10 seconds. If this time limit is exceeded, the Data ONTAP VSS Hardware Provider logs Event ID 4364. This limit could be exceeded due to a transient problem. If this event is logged for a failed backup, retry the backup.
