NAME

       vxconfigbackup - back up disk group configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vx/bin/vxconfigbackup [-l directory] [[dgname ...] | [dgid ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       The  vxconfigbackup  utility  can  be  used to backup up the configuration information for one or more disk groups.  The disk groups may be
       specified either by name or by ID.  If no disk groups are specified, all disk group configurations are backed up.

OPTIONS

       -l directory
		 Specifies a directory other than the default where the backup configuration files are to be written.

		 Note: The default backup directory is /etc/vx/cbr/bk.

EXAMPLES

       Back up the configuration of the mydg disk group to the directory /dgbackup/mydg:

		 vxconfigbackup -l /dgbackup/mydg mydg

FILES

       /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.dginfo
		 Default location of backup file for disk group information.

       /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.diskinfo
		 Default location of backup file for disk attributes.

       /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.binconfig
		 Default location of backup file for binary configuration copy.

       /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.cfgrec
		 Default location of backup file for configuration records in vxprint -m format.

NOTES

       The vxconfigbackupd daemon automatically backs up a disk group's new configuration to the default backup directory whenever the	configura-
       tion is changed.  The vxconfigbackup command is provided to back up the configuration manually at any other desired time.

       The  disk  group  configuration	backup and restore utilities do not save any data in the public region. This includes file system or other
       application data that is configured within VxVM objects.

NAME

       dgcfgbackup - create or update VxVM volume group configuration backup file

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/dgcfgbackup [-f  dg_conf_path ] dg_name

DESCRIPTION

       The dgcfgbackup command saves the VxVM configuration for a disk group in a default or alternate configuration backup file (see the descrip-
       tion of the-f option).

       By default, dgcfgbackup is run automatically each time that a VxVM command changes the VxVM configuration.  In this case,  it  always  uses
       the default configuration backup file.  An existing default configuration backup file is renamed with an extension of .old.

   Options and Arguments
       dg_name	 Specifies the name of a disk group.

       -f  dg_conf_path
		 Saves the configuration using an alternate file name specified by dg_conf_path.  If this option is omitted, the default file name
		 is /etc/vxvmconf/dg_name.conf.

EXIT CODES

       dgcfgbackup exits with a zero status on successful completion.  An non-zero exit status indicates that  errors  occurred  when  information
       from the disk group was being accessed.

EXAMPLES

       Back up VxVM configuration information for disk group testdg in the default backup file /etc/vxvmconf/testdg.conf:

       dgcfgbackup testdg

       Back up VxVM configuration information for disk group datadg in the alternate configuration backup file /tmp/datadg.backup:

       dgcfgbackup -f /tmp/datadg.backup datadg

NOTES

       It  is  recommended  that  any alternate configuration backup file be created in the root file system (as is the case with the default path
       name).  This facilitates disk group recovery during maintenance mode, such as after a system crash.
