Backing Up the OSS Environment Using a Version of
Backup/Restore
1. Record all configuration information for the OSS environment. You can do this in
either of the following ways:
•
Use the OSS Monitor Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) INFO commands to
gather information about all objects managed as part of the OSS environment
(the OSS Monitor itself, all OSS servers, and all OSS filesets):
SCF
INFO / OUT SNAPSHOT / MON $ZPMON, DETAIL
INFO / OUT SNAPSHOT / SERVER $ZPMON.*, DETAIL
INFO / OUT SNAPSHOT / FILESET $ZPMON.*, DETAIL
Build SCF OBEY files from the captured information such that the attributes of
each object can be recreated if necessary.
•
Backup all OSS configuration files described in Section 4, Managing Servers,
using the T9074 Backup and Restore utilities.
2. Backup all startup files using the T9074 Backup and Restore utilities:
a. If your site uses any of the OSS EasySetup utilities described in Appendix C,
OSS Management Utilities, and maintains the files used by those utilities, back
those files up.
b. If your site has manually configured the persistence monitor to manage the
OSS Monitor, use the SCF INFO DETAIL command for the kernel subsystem
to gather the information needed to build an OBEY file that can recreate the
attributes of the OSS Monitor, if necessary.
3. Record the information in all storage-pool files. (You can back up and restore
storage-pool files using the T9074 Backup and Restore utilities.)
4. Backup and Restore 2.0 preserves OSS file access information. However, if you
are using the Backup and Restore utilities (T9074), you need to record all user ID
information relevant to OSS file access. You can do this in either of the following
ways:
