Performing a CMSADM Backup

Performing a CMSADM Backup

Overview

Prerequisites

A CMSADM file system backup saves all system files (excluding CMS
call data) and is used to restore the system in the event of an upgrade
failure. A CMS ADM backup must be performed within 24 hours of the
start of the HA upgrade process. CMSADM backups must also be
perfomed on both servers immediately after the completion of the HA
upgrade.
The CMSADM file system backup includes the following:
C
• Solaris system files and programs
• CMS programs
• Non-CMS customer data placed on the computer (in addition to the
CMS data).
• Verify that at least 3 tapes are available for use during the upgrade
C
process.
• Before starting the backup procedures described in this section, log
in as root, and enter lp /etc/vfstab. The output from the printer
is necessary when doing a system restore. Bundle the printout of
the /etc/vfstab file with the system backup tape(s) for future
reference.
Note:
The CMS server must be administered to support a printer before the
vfstab file can be printed out.
