Troubleshooting: Your Storage Array Software

Refer to the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager online help 

topics for more information on troubleshooting, and recovering from failures.

SMrepassist (replication assistance) is a host-based utility for Windows 

platforms. This utility is installed with MDSM. Use this utility before and 

after you create a virtual disk copy on a Windows operating system to ensure 

that all the memory-resident data for file systems on the target virtual disk is 

flushed and that the driver recognizes signatures and file system partitions. 

You can also use this utility to resolve duplicate signature problems for 

snapshot virtual disks.
From a command prompt window on a host running Windows, navigate to
C:\Program Files\Dell\MD Storage Manager\util and run the following 

command:
SMrepassist -f <filesystem-identifier>
where -f flushes all the memory-resident data for the file system indicated by 

<filesystem-identifier>, and <filesystem-identifier> specifies a unique file 

system in the following syntax:
drive-letter: <mount-point-path>
The file system identifier might consist of only a drive letter, as in the 

following example:
SMrepassist -f E:

In Windows, the mount point path is a drive letter.

An error message appears in the command line when the utility cannot 

distinguish between the following:

• Source virtual disk and snapshot virtual disk (for example, if the snapshot 

virtual disk has been removed). 

• Standard virtual disk and virtual disk copy (for example, if the virtual disk 

copy has been removed).
