Using Events To Schedule A Backup; User Management - IBM AIX HACMP SG24-5131-00 Hardware User Manual

9. After the backup is complete and verified, unmount and delete the new file
system and the logical volume you used for it.
10.Use the
previously split off to the fslv logical volume.
11.Resynchronize the logical volume.
Once the mirror copy has been recreated on the logical volume, the
command will resynchronize all physical partitions in the new copy, including
any updates that have occurred on the original copy during the backup
process.
It is always a good idea to check a backup for validity.

8.7.2 Using Events to Schedule a Backup

As described above, a
backups during off-peak hours of the application. Now as you have several
cluster nodes, each of them would need a
own data backed up. This
"normal" data is backed up, i.e. the data this cluster node cares about during
"normal" operations, or, in case of another's node failure and a subsequent
takeover of this node's resources, backing up both of the cluster nodes' data.
Whenever one node takes over the reources of another node, the
node_down_remote event has happened. You can use a post-event to the
node_down_remote event to change the
the local node's data into backing up both nodes' data.
Furthermore, if the second node eventually comes up again and takes its
resources back, you will see a node_up_remote event in your logs. Thus, you
can configure a post-event to the node_up_remote event to change the
crontab entry back to the "normal" setting.
If you want to do a split-mirror backup, the crontab entry has to invoke a
script, implementing the steps described above.
A more detailed description of this procedure can be found in the redbook
HACMP/6000 Customization Examples , SG24-4498, Chapter 6.

8.8 User Management

As 2.7, "User ID Planning" on page 48 described, on an HACMP cluster, the
administrator has to take care of user and group IDs throughout the cluster. If
