This section provides information on the maintenance of a backup management list. A backup management list is maintained on the server that performs the backup.
Execute the swstresback command to back up a backup management list.
Backup Data Size of Backup Management List
Check the size of the file that the subdirectory of the following directory contains.
/etc/opt/FJSVswsts/data
Point
When you execute the swstresback command by using the same directory used before to save data, the file system in which these directories exist should be at least three times greater than the size returned in query above.
This is because the swstresback command executes backup in the state holding the data saved before.
Execute the swstresrst command to restore a backup management list.
AIX AdvancedCopy Manager uses transaction volumes and backup volumes as volume groups. If LVM volume management information is lost, volumes cannot be backed up or restored correctly. When a volume group is created, it is recommended volume configuration information be backed up using the savevg command in preparation for a system crash. For information on the savevg command, refer to the AIX manuals.
This section describes the maintenance of a replication management list.
To back up a replication management list, back up the repository of the Management Server. For information about backing up a repository, refer to "Backing up Database" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide relevant to the OS of the Management Server.
Point
Operational information for replication management is saved in a repository.
It is recommended that a replication management list be backed up when operation information for replication management is changed with the swsrpsetvol or swsrpdelvol command.
Perform the following steps to restore a replication management list:
Restore the repository to the Management Server. For information about restoring a repository, refer to "Restoring Database" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide relevant to the OS of the Management Server.
On the Managed Server, execute the swsrprecoverres command with the -r option.
Point
When above 2 steps are performed, operational information for replication management of a repository is copied to a Managed Server, where it is then available for use.
When this information for replication management in the repository does not need to be changed, and only the operation information for replication management on the Managed Server is incorrect (for some reason), perform only step 2.
AIX AdvancedCopy Manager uses source and replica volumes as volume groups. If LVM volume management information is lost, correct operations cannot be achieved. When a volume group is created, it is recommended volume configuration information be backed up using the savevg command in preparation for a system crash. For information on the savevg command, refer to the AIX manuals.
For information about maintaining a database used by a Management Server, refer to "Maintaining Database" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide relevant to the OS of the Management Server:
This section describes the maintenance of a registry. Perform this procedure on a Management Server or a Managed Server.
In a command prompt window, back up the following files using the copy command, etc.
/etc/opt/swstorage/swnode.ini
Save it in the /backup directory.
# cp /etc/opt/swstorage/swnode.ini /backup
Backup Data Size of Registry
Check the size of the file to be backed up.
In a command prompt window, use the copy command or another method to restore the following files.
/etc/opt/swstorage/swnode.ini
Restore the following file saved in the /backup directory:
# cp /backup/swnode.ini /etc/opt/swstorage
