20.5.1 Backup of the management partition information

Use the sfcgetconf(1M) command to make a backup of the management partition information.

The method of backup of the management partition information is explained below.

# sfcgetconf _backup_file_

For details on sfcgetconf(1M), see Appendix F.2.9 "sfcgetconf(1M)."

Make a backup of the management partition information, after changing the configuration of the file system by sfcnewfs(1M), mkfs_sfcfs(1M), sfcadd(1M), sfcadm(1M), sfchost(1M), sfcnode(1M), sfcquotaon(1M), sfcquotaoff(1M).

To back up management partition information with sfcgetconf(1M), the sfcfrmd demon should be operating by the execution node. If sfcfrmd daemon is not operating, start it by using sfcfrmstart(1M). For details, see Section 20.2.4, "Starting sfcfrmd daemon".

sfcgetconf(1M) generate a shell script _backup_file_:

The contents of the shell script are explained below.

# cat _backup_file_
#!/bin/sh
# This file is made by:
#    sfcgetconf _backup_file_
