Updating a dictionary map file
After environment setup is complete, the next step is to update the dictionary map files. By updating
the dictionary map files, you can confirm that the environment has been set up appropriately.
To update the dictionary map files:
• When the backup is of a file system:
Execute the drmfsdisplay command with the -refresh option specified.
• When the backup is of an SQL Server database:
Execute the drmsqldisplay command with the -refresh option specified.
• When the backup is of an Exchange database:
Execute the drmexgdisplay command with the -refresh option specified.
In the following example, the command updates the dictionary map files:
PROMPT> drmfsdisplay -refresh
When the command terminates, the following message appears:
KAVX0023-I Dictionary map file was updated.
When the above message appears, confirm that the dictionary map files has been updated by, for
example, checking the date of the file.
Notes
• In a cluster configuration, dictionary map files updating must be performed on the active
server. You do not need to perform updating on both servers by switching the cluster.
• In a cluster configuration, before updating the dictionary map files, you need to assign the
virtual server name to the environment variable DRM_HOSTNAME. If you update the dictionary
map files without specifying the virtual server name, the default dictionary map files will be
updated instead of the dictionary map files created in the shared directory.
• Usually, you do not need to update the dictionary map files on the backup server. However,
if a primary volume exists in the backup server, the dictionary map files must be updated.
Even after commencing operations, you need to update the dictionary map files when the operating
environment is updated. For details on the timing of updating the dictionary map, see “Precautions
when updating dictionary map files” on page 231.
Specifying how to mount a secondary volume
When backing up from a secondary volume to a tape, it is necessary to mount a secondary volume
on the backup server.
To mount a secondary volume, the following operations may be required:
• Create a copy group mount definition file
• Make the OS dynamically recognize the secondary volume
You must create a copy group mount definition file when the backup is of a dynamic disk and in any
of the following situations:
• When VSS is used for the backup operation
• When mounting the secondary volume by specifying a copy group
