Flex appliance and permanent edit/create of config file in /usr/openv*

Hi all,.

Media/Master server on Flex appliance has some persistent and nonpersistent volumes. Change or editing of some files in /usr/openv - example SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS or pd.conf are temporary. These files are normally saved to nonpersistent volume . Reboot/restart instance of Media server cause loose of this. 

What is supported solution ?    

Thanks

    As per the admin guide, below is process:

     

    To create or edit a touch configuration file
    1 Log in to the NetBackup application instance.
    2 Create a new configuration file in the NetBackup administrator home directory,
    or use the cp command to copy an existing configuration file from its original
    location to the home directory.
    For example:
    cp /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins/pd.conf ~/
    3 Make changes to the file in the home directory.
    4 Run the following command to install the file in its original directory or a
    supported destination directory:
    sudo /opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-config <configuration-file>
    <destination>
    Where <configuration-file> is the file that you created or edited, and
    <destination> is the directory where it needs to be installed.
    For example:
    sudo /opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-config ~/pd.conf
    /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins

  • Hi PetrHanz 

    The persistent storage location is generally held under the /mnt/nbdata location. 

    If you look around there on the particular instance I think you will find the correct place to update your files. For instance, the /mnt/nbdata/vxos directory holds persistent data for the operating system (e.g. the /etc files you may want to update) and /mnt/nbdata/usr/openv should be used for NetBackup changes.

    Cheers
