reallocate the /etc/vx/cbr/bk , vg config backup file without any service restart ...

1. Create the directory  to copy the vg config backup file .

 # mkdir -p /tech/vgconfigbackup/bk      ( please must create the  "bk" directory )

2. Take the backup of  scripts " /usr/lib/vxvm/voladm.d/lib/vxcbrlib.sh "

# cp /usr/lib/vxvm/voladm.d/lib/vxcbrlib.sh  /usr/lib/vxvm/voladm.d/lib/vxcbrlib.sh_bkp<date>

3. Made the required change care fully in below script .

# vi /usr/lib/vxvm/voladm.d/lib/vxcbrlib

comment the existing line "CF_BKUP_BASE_PATH" and change CF_BKUP_BASE_PATH to point to a new location.  

4.  Delete the all old vg configuration file backup from default location .

5. Take the new vg configuration backup and test

6. Check the new vg configuration file backup in new location .

    other procedure ..

     

    1. check the configuration file  "bk_config" under /etc/vx/cbr .

    2. To change the default location for the configuration database , you need update the  /etc/vx/cbr/bk_config

      #echo "CF_BKUP_PATH=/<new_path>" >> /etc/vx/cbr/bk_config
     
    3. Create the new directory  

     like   /tech/vgconfig/bk/

    4. We need to restart the "vxconfigbackupd " after all change .

    Note : "vxconfigbackupd" can be restarted any time without any impact to running servers regardless whether server is in cluster or not.

    Hello,

    I didn't get your question here, do you want to know which is the best method amongst the two ? or you are suggesting the methods here ?

    Also, can you mention on what is the reason to change the default path of config backup ?
