Systemwalker Operation Manager Installation Guide

3.1.3 Backing up the UNIX Server Environment

The following explains how to back up the UNIX server environment.

Operation procedure

The system administrator (the superuser) must back up the UNIX server environment on the machine where the Systemwalker Operation Manager server functions have been installed. The following shows the backup procedure.

1. Check the space size of the data save area.

   Make sure that the drive has an enough capacity to save the data. Use the following calculation as a reference.

   Total capacity locating under "/etc/opt/FJSV*"
   + Total capacity locating under "/var/opt/FJSV*"

   where, FJSV* is the package name of a product component.
   This name varies depending on the OS you use. Read it as follows for calculation.

   Solaris, Linux version: FJSV*
   HP-UX version: FHP*
   AIX version: FAIX*

2. Issue the backup command.

   Execute the following command to back up the information.

   /opt/systemwalker/bin/mpbko -b destination-directory-name

   For the "mpbko" command usage, refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.

   For the information types to be backed up by the mpbko command, see "Appendix A Storage Location of Definition Information Files."

   The following gives an example to make a backup in the /var/tmp/OMGRBack directory.

   /opt/systemwalker/bin/mpbko -b /var/tmp/OMGRBack

   If the destination directory is not empty, a confirmation message appears.

   If you respond with Yes, the existing files are deleted and the backup is made. If you respond with No, the backup process is cancelled.

Note

• Specify this command in the full path name.

• Specify the -SN option to make a backup without stopping the Systemwalker Operation Manager daemons.

• If the backup has failed, take the following actions and rerun the mpbko command.

  • Check that the destination directory has an enough space area.

Information

Registering Jobs

• You can schedule the mpbko command as a job. To do so, always specify the -SN option in the command and ensure that the daemons are not stopped during backup.

• The job nets are held in the status when they are backed up (Active status). If you start the Jobscheduler daemon of the job net which you have backed up after its restoration, it is abended with completion code 239 (Closed).

Backing up the Systemwalker authentication repository and the Systemwalker single sign-on function
