backupios

Hello,

When i make a backupios commande to save my IOS, this command lunch a savevg but not with the option -e to use the exclude.rootvg file.

How can i use the backupios commande to exclude the file in exclude.rootvg.

Thank's.

I don't believe you can't. Only option there is to use:
-nosvg Prevents the volume groups structure of user defined volume groups from being saved as part of the backupios process.

Hope this helps

My point was that , you will need everything on the rootvg of a VIO server to be backed up.

Optical Library

I have about 8 gig of CD images (.iso files) in my /var/vio/VMLibrary that I do not want going to into the backupios backup. I save the backup on my NIM server and now this VIO server's backup is WAY bigger than my others.

I want..nay "need"... to exclude the /var/vio/VMLibrary from the backupios command. I have all the physical media so I'm not worried about losing the .iso images.

How would I go about getting /var/vio/VMLibrary to be excluded from the backupios backup?

VIOS backupios -mksysb - does it need to be served by a NIM server ?

working through VIOS backup options. Generally, we store mksysb's on a server and then NFS mount them from it to copy to a VIO optical library, etc. In the case of a VIO backup, I see the -mksysb option to backupios and understand that it doesn't include the NIM resources in the backup. ...
