NBU /usr/openv

[Shakil_Qureshi]

Dear all,
 i have a quick question.

i neeed to perform a ufsdump on /usr/openv Netbackup Master Server 6.5.4 (running Solaris 10  5.10)

kinldy correct me where i am wrong.

1) i have stopped all NBU services.
2) took ufs dump on the SAN volume.  (i need the assurance , i did not umount the /usr/openv    just stopped NBU services and taking ufsdump. does this work fine ?)

your kind reponses are awaited.

I have not personally tested this, but evey bit of my Solaris and NBU knowledge tells me it should be fine.
Do you have another system (like a DR master) to test a restore?

UFS dump only dump the local file system, so if you have split Netbackup up in multiple file system you may not got get it all.

e.g.

/usr/openv
/usr/openv/netbackup/db
/usr/openv/logs

Then ufs dump will take a copy of /usr/openv but not /usr/openv/netbackup/db
