9) Stopping the services
Exit all applications accessing application volume Volume1 on Node1 and Node2 in the primary domain.
When Volume1 is used as a file system, it should be unmounted.
10) Stopping the application volume
To write-lock application volume Volume1, inactivate Volume1 on Node1 and Node2 in the primary domain. Execute the following command on Node1 or Node2.
|
# sdxvolume -F -c Class1 -v Volume1 -e allnodes |
11) Viewing the configuration and status of the application volume
On Node1 or Node2 in the primary domain, view the configuration and status of application volume Volume1 that is the restore target. Confirm that Volume1 is in the STOP status. If the volume status is invalid, repair it referencing to "Volume Status Abnormality."

If application volume Volume1 belongs to a stripe group, also pay attention to the stripe width.

12) Creating a shadow volume for restore
On backup server Node3, create a volume for restore (shadow volume) in the same configuration as the application volume found in step 11). The following settings are necessary on backup server Node3. A shadow volume for restore and a shadow volume for backup are common. When it has already been created, simply change the access mode as described in step 12-4).
Application volume data may be damaged if data is written into a shadow volume in incorrect configuration. Be sure to confirm that the shadow volume configuration is correct in step 12-5).
12-1) Registering shadow disks
Register disks c1t1d1, c2t1d1, c3t1d1, and c4t1d1 with shadow class Class2, and name them Disk1, Disk2, Disk3, and Disk4 respectively.
|
# sdxshadowdisk -M -c Class2 -d c1t1d1=Disk1,c2t1d1=Disk2,c3t1d1=Disk3,c4t1d1=Disk4 |
The disk names must correspond to the disk names assigned in step 1-1). The disk names assigned in 1-1) can be viewed in the NAME field for disk information displayed with the sdxinfo command in step 11).
The class can be assigned any name.
12-2) Creating a shadow group
Connect shadow disks Disk1, Disk2, Disk3, and Disk4 to stripe type shadow group Group1.
|
# sdxshadowdisk -C -c Class2 -g Group1 -d Disk1,Disk2,Disk3,Disk4 -a type=stripe,width=256 |
If the application volume belongs to a stripe group or a concatenation group, the order of connecting shadow disks to a shadow group must correspond to the order of connecting disks to a group in step 1-2). The order of connecting disks in step 1-2) can be viewed in the DISKS field for group information displayed with the sdxinfo command in step 11).
If the application volume belongs to a stripe group, the stripe width of a shadow group must correspond to the stripe width specified in step 1-2). The stripe width specified in step 1-2) can be viewed in the WIDTH field for group information displayed with the sdxinfo -e long command in step 11).
The group can be assigned any name.
12-3) Creating a shadow volume
Create shadow volume Volume1 to Group1.
|
# sdxshadowvolume -M -c Class2 -g Group1 -v Volume1 -s 1048576 |
The volume must be created in the size corresponding to the volume size in step 1-3). The size of a volume created in step 1-3) can be viewed in the BLOCKS field for volume information displayed with the sdxinfo command in step 11).
If there are multiple volumes, the corresponding shadow volumes must be created in the order of ascending values (first block numbers) in the 1STBLK field for volume information displayed with the sdxinfo command in step 11).
The volume can be assigned any name.
12-4) Setting the access mode of the shadow volume
Activate shadow volume Volume1 in read and write access mode (rw).
|
# sdxshadowvolume -F -c Class2 -v Volume1 |
12-5) Viewing the shadow volume configuration
Using the sdxinfo command, confirm that the group configuration and the volume configuration are correct based on group information in the DISKS field, volume information in the 1STBLK field and in the BLOCKS field and so on.
|

13) Restoring from tape
On backup server Node3, restore shadow volume data from the tape to which it was backed up in step 6). In the following examples, data held in shadow volume Volume1 is restored from a tape medium of tape device /dev/rmt/0.
For details on the restore methods, see the manuals of file systems to be restored and used commands.
In a GFS Shared File System
Restore through the method as described in step 13a).
