1 MPE/iX system user guide Introduction This chapter explains how to configure and use the Data Protector MPE/iX integration. It describes concepts and methods you need to understand to back up and restore the following MPE/iX data: • User files and directories • System files • Filesystem directories This chapter provides information specific to the Data Protector MPE/iX integration. For general Data Protector procedures and options, see the online Help.
• For an up-to-date list of supported versions, platforms, devices, required patches and other information, see the HP Data Protector product announcements, software notes, and references or http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. • Ensure that TurboSTORE/iX or TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-Online is installed on your system. • Ensure that TCP/IP protocol is installed and configured.
2. Write down tape I/O Configuration from the ISL utility MAPPER. a. Press CTRL - B to put the system in control mode. b. Enter TC and press RETURN to soft reset the system. c. Press any key to override the autoboot. d. Enter Y for Boot from the primary boot path (Y or N)? or if prompt shows BO PRI. Press RETURN. e. Enter Y for Interact with IPL (Y/N)?. f. At the ISL prompt, enter: ISL>ODE ODE>MAPPER MAPPER>RUN g.
4.
5. For a standalone (DDS) device, add: • Path for device and identify it as PSEUDO: • Tape drive device (always on path address ending with 0), set ID and mode as AUTOREPLY: IO>ADEV LDEV=30 PATH=52.3.0 ID=HPC1533A MODE=AUTOREPLY • Autochanger (robotics) device and identify it as PICKER: IO>ADEV LDEV=31 PATH=52.3.1 ID=PICKER The MAPPER utility lists the path number (for example, PATH=52.3) and ID for the device (use the first word from Component Name, for example ID=HPC1533A).
6. Keep the new configuration and exit SYSGEN: Enter Y for Purge old configuration (yes/no)?. 7. Create a device link file using mknod: :mknod “/dev/picker c 0 31” :mknod “/dev/drive c 0 30” 8. To verify the changes, restart the system. After you connected and configured standalone devices, configure them for use with Data Protector. For detailed steps, see the online Help index: “configuring standalone devices”. Configuring SCSI tape libraries 1. 26 Connect a device to the system.
2. Write down tape I/O Configuration from the ISL utility MAPPER. a. Press CTRL - B to put the system in control mode. b. Enter TC and press RETURN to soft reset the system. c. Press any key to override the autoboot. d. Enter Y for Boot from the primary boot path (Y or N)? or if prompt shows BO PRI. Press RETURN. e. Enter Y for Interact with IPL (Y/N)?. f. At the ISL prompt, enter: ISL>ODE ODE>MAPPER MAPPER>RUN g.
4. Run the SYSGEN utility, IO subsystem: :SYSGEN SYSGEN>IO For a SCSI tape library (DLT) device, add: • The path and device for autochanger: IO>PATH PATH=56/52.0 ID=PSEUDO IO>ADEV LDEV=30 PATH=56/52.0.0 ID=PICKER • Paths and devices for tapes: IO>APATH PATH=56/52.2 ID=PSEUDO IO>ADEV LDEV=31 PATH=56/52.2.0 ID=DLT8000 MODE=AUTOREPLY IO>APATH PATH=56/52.3 ID=PSEUDO IO>ADEV LDEV=32 PATH=56/52.3.0 ID=DLT8000 MODE=AUTOREPLY The MAPPER utility lists the path number (for example, PATH=56/52.
6. Keep the new configuration and exit SYSGEN: Enter Y for Purge old configuration (yes/no)?. 7. Create a device link file using mknod: :mknod “/dev/dlt_picker c 0 30” :mknod “/dev/dlt_tape01 c 0 31” :mknod “/dev/dlt_tape02 c 0 32” 8. Restart the system to verify the changes. After you connected and configured SCSI libraries, configure them for use with Data Protector. For detailed steps, see the online Help index: “configuring SCSI libraries”.
You perform an MPE/iX backup in the same way as the filesystem backup. For the procedure, see the online Help index: “creating backup specifications”. Additionally, specify the supported MPE/iX backup options in the form of extended variables. See “User-definable backup variables” on page 30. User-definable backup variables Set user-definable backup variables (a variable name and its value) to enable flexible operation of the Data Protector MPE/iX integration.
Setting Backup Variables 1. In the HP Data Protector, switch to the Backup context. 2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup, and double-click Backup Specifications. 3. Right-click the backup specification and select Properties from the pop-up menu. 4. Click the Options tab, and then click Advanced under Filesystem Options.
5. Select Other from the Filesystem Options window, and then click Edit under User defined variables. See Figure 4 on page 32.
6. In the Advanced window, enter the supported MPE/iX variable, for example ONLINE with the value START. See Figure 5 on page 33. Figure 5 Entering the variable 7. Click Add to add the new variable to the list. TurboSTORE/iX backup options See “User-definable backup variables” on page 30 for the description of ONLINE, ONLINE=START, and DIRECTORY variables.
Creating SLT To create a SLT, run: sysgen>TAPE (or sysgen>TA) When the tape is created, you receive the message that boot backup was generated successfully. If an error occurs, a flashing TAPE ERROR message is issued to the console. Create the SLT tape each time you make configuration changes. For more information on SYSGEN, see the System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual. Creating Store Tapes To create a store tape, perform an MPE/iX backup in the same way as an ordinary backup.
User-definable restore variables Set user-definable variables (a variable name and its value) to enable flexible operation of the Data Protector MPE/iX integration. Table 5 on page 35 lists restore variables and their values. Table 5 List of restore variables Variable Value Description DIRECTORY none (default) Restores the MPE system directory (volume set configuration) information.
7. In the Advanced dialog box, specify the appropriate variable and its value, and then click Add. Figure 6 Entering the variable 8. Click OK to apply the settings. TurboSTORE/iX restore options The variable VOLSET=/VOLUMESETNAME directs the restore behavior to write the data to /VOLUMESETNAME. If the variable is not used, the files are restored to the original volume set. This option is used for a cross-volume set restore.
The following TurboSTORE/iX restore options cannot be used as they are replaced by the standard Data Protector functionality: COPYACD, KEEP,NEWDATE, NOACD, OLDDATE, and SHOW. Pre- and post-exec commands Before backup or restore, you may want to check the number of files to back up, stop some transaction processing, or shut down a database. Such actions are performed using pre- and post-exec commands, which are not supplied by Data Protector.
See the STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Products Manual for more information about disaster recovery on MPE/iX. Prerequisites • SLT containing system parameters and I/O configuration • Store tape containing user files and directories and system directory information Recovery Procedure 1. Boot your system from the latest SLT. Use the INSTALL utility to make your hard disk is bootable. 2. Run VOLUTIL to initialize the system volume set members.
Prerequisites • For the omnib command to operate properly, add the MANAGER.SYS user to the admin group. NOTE: Due to the limitations of the MPE/iX Posix shell (utility nroff is not implemented), it is not possible to implement help for this command as a man page. For a description of the omnib command, see the HP Data Protector command line interface reference. NOTE: On MPE/iX, the omniintro man page is also available in /usr/omni/docs.
TurboSTORE/iX log files During backup or restore, TurboSTORE/iX creates a log file, saved in the /tmp directory. Its name consists of store or restore process and the process identification number (pid), for example store74711122.log. IMPORTANT: TurboSTORE/iX log file for backup can show more objects than actually backed up. That is because of some Data Protector options (–skip, -only, -since) where the data is read but not written to the medium.
Example 2. TurboSTORE/iX log files with ONLINE=START >> TURBO-STORE/RESTORE VERSION C.60.17 B5152AA << (C) 1986 Hewlett-Packard CO.
