Catalog Backup Shift
HI Forum,
Need to shift Catalog backup which is currently happending on local disk to be shifted to external SAN storage.
What all steps needs to be performed to successfully shift the same without hampering current production env.
NBU version is 7.6
Thanks in Advance.
You are now changing the picture completely.
Your opening post said CATALOG BACKUP needs to change. This implies that a Disk Storage Unit needs to be moved or recreated.
Now it seems you want to move entire NBU installation, right?
In order to do this, you need a knowledgeable OS admin to help you with this.
We cannot give you specific instructions/commands as this makes us responsible if a mistake is made.
Steps:
- Perform Catalog backup to external storage - tape preferably.
- Stop NBU.
- Mount SAN volume to temp mountpoint.
- Copy everything in /opt/openv to new mountpoint (use a command such as tar or cpio to ensure permissions and ownership is correctly transfered with files and folders).
- Rename openv folder.
- Unmount SAN volume and then mount as /opt/openv.
- Start NBU.
- Perform tests to verify functionality. (e.g. restore from old backups and create and run small test policy)
- If NOT okay - unmount /opt/openv and rename folder back to openv.
DON'T carry on or do production backups that will change catalogs. - If all is good, delete renamed folder on local disk.
- Add new SAN volume to /etc/vfstab to mount /opt/openv at boot time.
