- Troubleshooting
- NFS export paths where ingested Oracle Database sources are stored are inaccessible
- NFS export path is not created during a database ingestion
- Database ingestion fails with the Oracle error 'diskgroup {xx} space exhausted'
- After restart of the vpfsd service, links to the applications are broken
- Sandbox creation fails on an Oracle Database server
- Sandbox creation fails for a SQL Server database copy
- Sandbox creation fails after you use the --adGroups argument when you configure the Velocity Client for Windows
- Sandbox creation may take longer than usual on Oracle Database 12c
- A sandbox cannot be deleted from an Oracle Database server because the mount point is busy
- Error occurs when registering the Velocity Client; provide the Oracle DBA with access to the Velocity registration files
- Error occurs when a new sandbox name has the same name as a deleted sandbox
- Ingestions and sandboxes are stuck 'In Progress' after the Velocity Storage Server is restarted

Database Sources dialog
From the Database Sources window, you can do the following actions:
Add a database source that you want to ingest to Velocity.
Ingest a database source.
Update a previously ingested database source with another ingest.
Sort or search database sources that have been added to Velocity.
Delete a database source.
You can view only the database sources for which your assigned role has privileges.
See Role-based access control.
The following options are available to manage database sources:
Table: Database sources in Velocity
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Total | Displays the number of database sources that were added to Velocity. Although the information about the database is added, the databases may not be ingested yet. |
Sort By | Displays a list of filters that you can use to sort the databases that are added into Velocity. |
+ | Lets you add a database source that you want to ingest into Velocity. |
Search | Lets you type search criteria to find a database source that has been added to Velocity. |
Database Sources | Displays the following information about a database source that has been added to Velocity:
|
Details | Lists the details of the database source. |
Ingest | Runs a full backup of the database if the database has not been ingested into Velocity before. For Oracle databases, after the initial full ingest, all subsequent ingests are incremental backups. For SQL Server databases, after the initial full copy-only backup, all subsequent ingests are also full copy-only backups. |
Veritas NetBackup | Indicates that NetBackup was used to ingest the database source. |
Cancel | Lets you cancel a running ingest operation. |
Delete | Deletes the database source from Velocity. The existing database copies and the sandboxes that use the database copies are not deleted. To ingest the database into Velocity at a later time, you can add the database information again. |
