ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser 14.0 User's Guide

G.2 Solaris OS and Linux

Preparation

In this section, we assume the work directory to be /var/tmp/escvup.

  1. Copy unxvup.tar to the work directory (for details on this file, refer to "G.1 Provided files").

  2. Move to the work directory and expand unxvup.tar.

    # cd /var/tmp/escvup
    # tar xvf unxvup.tar

    The files below will be expanded in the work directory:

    • cimbackup.sh - The backup command

    • cimrestore.sh - The restore command

    • dbkit.jar - Java archive invoked by cimbackup.sh and cimrestore.sh

The backup and restore commands should be issued in the work directory, and require root permission for execution.
