6.1.1 Settings Before Backing Up

This section explains about the settings to be done before backing up the system disk.

When the shared class or local class of GDS is used, perform the following [Setting procedure] regardless of whether the system disk is mirrored by GDS.

The following procedures include the [Setting procedure] steps. Therefore if the system disk is backed up by the following procedures, [Setting procedure] does not need to be performed.

- "6.2.1 Backing Up"

- "6.3.1 Backing Up"

[Setting procedure]

Set the configuration parameter of GDS.

Add the setting of SDX_DB_FAIL_NUM=0 to the end of /etc/opt/FJSVsdx/sdx.cf configuration file.

# vi /etc/opt/FJSVsdx/sdx.cf
... SDX_DB_FAIL_NUM=0 <- Added

The reason to perform this setting is to prevent the shared/local class from closing down after restoring even though the shared/local class configuration database layout differs from backing up to restoring the system disk.
