Check the system console for error messages received at the time the
backup was scheduled.
■
■ Verify the existence of the proper backup files in the backup directory
(specified by -m backup_dest). The type of repository backup you schedule
determines which files should be found in this directory. If an incremental
backup, only repository transaction log files (yymmddxx.log) are created
there. If a full backup, both transaction log files and a repository database
file (dbed_db.db) are created.
Monitoring free space for the SFDB repository
To guard against the SFDB repository failing by filling its file system, use the
sfua_rept_adm -o space_monitor command to create a monitoring schedule.
Table 3-1 shows all options for the sfua_rept_adm command, including those
used for creating, disabling, and re-enabling a free space monitoring schedule.
This schedule monitors the available free space on the repository file system. If
the free space falls below a specified threshold (a percentage value), a warning is
emailed to a specified user.
Note: You must be logged in as root to use the sfua_rept_adm command.
To create a free-space monitoring schedule for the repository file system
◆
Use the sfua_rept_adm -o space_monitor command:
sfua_rept_adm -o space_monitor -w warn_threshold -e notify_email \
-u smtp_sender -s smtp_server [ -i interval ]
After a free-space monitoring schedule is created, it is automatically enabled.
When the free space on the file system containing the SFDB repository falls
below the threshold specified by -w warn_threshold, a warning is sent to
the email address specified by -e notify_email.
Adding a new system to an HA configuration
When adding a new system to an existing HA configuration, you must also add
the system to the existing SFDB repository so that it can share the same repository
data.
