Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)

clim-name
Is the name of the CLIM to be backed up or restored.
ip-address
Is the IP address of the CLIM to be backed up or restored.
hostname
Is the hostname of the CLIM to be backed up or restored, without the subsystem qualifier. For
example: C1002531.
file-name
Is the name of the file on the NonStop system in which the backup configuration is stored. If
file-name is not specified, the default file name is BACKUPGZ.
subvolume
Is the name of the subvolume on the NonStop host system in which the backup configuration
is stored. If the command specifies a CLIM name, the default subvolume is clim-name. If the
command specifies an IP address, the default subvolume is the current subvolume.
volume
Is the name of the volume on the NonStop host system in which the backup configuration is
stored. If the command specifies a subvolume and no volume, the default volume is $SYSTEM.
If the command does not specify a volume or subvolume, the default location is
current-volume.subvolume.
climbkup and climrstr Considerations
• A CLIM configured with J06.17 RVU or later can be restored with a backup file taken from
any RVU from J06.08 to the RVU with which the CLIM is configured. For example, if the CLIM
is configured with J06.17 RVU, any backup file taken from the RVUs J06.08 to J06.17 can
be used to restore on this CLIM.
This is not true for a CLIM configured with pre-J06.17 RVUs. In that case, a backup file should
be used only to restore on CLIMs that use the same RVU version as the backup file. For example,
if the backup file was taken from the J06.09 RVU, it can only be used to restore on a J06.09
CLIM. It may not be used to restore on a J06.10 CLIM.
• CLIMRSTR is not designed to be run on a CLIM that is in the STARTED state. Additionally,
CLIMRSTR requires a reboot to be done after the restore. If a failover occurs during a restore
operation such that the CLIM being restored takes over the other CLIM, the failover information
and network configuration of the CLIM that fails may not be correct on the failover CLIM. HP
recommends using CLIMRSTR this way:
1. Abort or stop the CLIM.
2. Perform the restore operation.
3. Start the CLIM.
Examples
To create a backup copy of the CLIM configuration on the $SYSTEM volume of the NonStop host
system, use the CLIMBKUP clim-name TACL script. This command stores the configuration files
of CLIM n1002531 in $SYSTEM.n1002531:
tacl> CLIMBKUP n1002531
To restore your CLIM configuration files, use the CLIMRSTR clim-name TACL script. For example:
tacl> CLIMRSTR n1002531
This command copies the configuration information that was saved during the backup operation
on the NonStop host system from the $SYSTEM disk to the CLIM. Before invoking this command,
the CLIM should be stopped or aborted. Upon completion of this command, the CLIM must be
rebooted to load the new configuration.
