OSS Files and Backup/Restore Utilities (T9074)
•
The disk volumes used by OSS on the system to be restored have the same
names as the disk volumes to be used on the system to be restored.
•
The size of the each disk volume to be restored on the target system is the same
as the corresponding disk volume on the source system.
In volume mode, BACKUP backs up only what is on the volume being archived. If you
use BACKUP for OSS files, you must make sure that all filesets and all the catalog files
for those filesets you are backing up reside entirely on the single disk being archived.
To back up and restore OSS files using BACKUP and RESTORE:
1. Perform all steps described in Backing Up the OSS Environment Using a Version
of Backup/Restore on page 6-14.
2. Back up user Guardian files and related information as described in Backing Up
User Files on page 6-15.
3. Stop all filesets on the source system as described in Stopping (Unmounting) a
Fileset on page 5-13.
4. Stop all disk volumes used for OSS catalogs and OSS data files on the source
system.
5. Use the BACKUP VOLUME mode option to backup the OSS catalog disk volume
from the source system.
6. Use the BACKUP VOLUME mode option to backup the OSS data file disk volumes
from the source system.
7. Use the RESTORE VOLUME mode option to restore the OSS catalog disk volume
to the target system.
8. Use the RESTORE VOLUME mode option to restore the OSS data file disk
volumes to the target system.
9. Restore any other files backed up in Step 2.
10. Start the OSS Monitor. If necessary, use an OBEY file for the kernel subsystem
SCF interface to restore its configuration in the persistence monitor and OBEY files
or RESTORE to restore the configuration of the OSS environment.
11. Use RESTORE to restore the storage-pool files. The source and target system
DEVICELABEL values must match.
12. Restore the remainder of the OSS environment as described in Restoring NonStop
SQL/MP Programs Using Backup/Restore Utilities (T9074) on page 6-24 and
Restoring Security Data Used For File Access on page 6-24.
13. Start all filesets.
