Operating Systems Solaris Creating an image of a mirrored disks Post 302220049 by Smiling Dragon on Wednesday 30th of July 2008 07:52:37 PM

You'd normally run the flarcreate over the mounted filesystems, rather than the underlying devices
eg something like:
Code:
flarcreate -n "my backup 31/7/2008" -c -R / -x /mounted-backup -S /mounted-backup/backup.flar

I've not had to do a flar restore but you can instruct JET (sun jumpstart framework) to use a flar by setting the base_config_products to "flash sds" (and provide the same SDS settings you used for the first jumpstart) and flash_archive_locations to an NFS url for your flar.

If you still want to take a backup of the data via the devices, you can either provide one of the two mirrors or the mirror metadevice itself, either will work just fine. When you do the restore, you can just restore it onto the main mirror metadevice, or if that's not created yet, the real disk device then mirror it up again. SDS is quite flexible like that Smilie

Sing out if you need a hand with the process of breaking off a submirror or remirroring after the restore without interrupting service etc.

NAME
c1541 - a stand alone disk image maintenance program SYNOPSIS
c1541 [options] [image] DESCRIPTION
c1541 is a stand alone program that can be used for D64, D71, D81, X64 and G64 disk image file maintenance. It is part of the VICE emula- tor. c1541 can be used both in interactive and batch mode. It will start in interactive mode if no images and no options are specified or if one image is specified; when started in interactive mode, command line editing and command history are available. Each command line option for use in batch mode has an interactive mode counterpart, that is shown in parenthesis. -attach image (attach image) attach image for use. All consequent commands in interactive mode will refer to this image. -detach image (detach image) detach image from c1541. -format image (format image 'name,id') format the disk image image with the specified label. image is created if it does not exist. -delete image files... (delete files...) delete files from image -list image (list) list directory of image. -validate image (validate) validate mage. -copy image oldname1 [oldname2...] newname (copy oldname1 [oldname2...] newname) concatenate oldname1, oldname2... into newname on image (can be used to copy files). -create image dump ['descr'] (create image dump ['descr'] build image from raw dump file dump (i.e. convert from D64 to X64 file). -tape image tapeimage [files...] (tape image tapeimage [files...]) transfer files from tapeimage to image (default is all files). -read image 1541name [fsname] (read 1541name [fsname]) extract 1541name from the disk image into fsname (1541name by default) from image. -extract image (extract). extract all files from image. -write image fsname [1541name] (write fsname [1541name]) write fsname to image as 1541name (fsname by default). (works with P00 files as well). -block [drive:] [track] [sector] [disp] (block [drive:] [track] [sector] [disp]) show disk blocks in hex format. -info image ['descr'] (info ['descr']) show version information about image. When more than one command is specified in batch mode, all of them are executed in the same order they have on the command line. If you use - as a file name, it stands for stdin or stdout. SEE ALSO
