savemeta
savemeta(8) System Manager's Manual savemeta(8)
NAME
savemeta - Takes a snapshot of an AdvFS domain's metadata
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/advfs/savemeta [-LSTt] [-f fileset] domain savedir
OPTIONS
Saves the structure information from the frag file in each named fileset to the savedir. If this option is not specified, the default is to
write no frag file information to the savedir. Do not save the domain's log file to the savedir. If this option is not specified, the
default is to write the log file to the savedir. Do not save each volume's storage bitmap (SBM) to the savedir. If this option is not
specified, the default is to write each volume's SBM to the savedir. Do not save the domain's root tag file to the savedir. If this
option is not specified, the default is to write the root tag file to the savedir. Do not save the fileset tag files to the savedir. If
this option is not specified, the default is to write the fileset tag files to the savedir.
OPERANDS
The name of the AdvFS file domain from which you want to obtain the metadata. The name of a directory into which the saved metadata is to
be written.
DESCRIPTION
This script saves a snapshot of the specified domain metadata into a directory, savedir, that has the following structure:
savedir/volume_directory/RBMT_file
/BMT_file
/SBM_file
/log_file
/tag_file
/fileset_directory/frag_file
/tag_file
By default, the savemeta command saves all the bitfile metadata (BMT), all the SBM, the log and root tag files, and the fileset tag files.
If you specify the -f option, the command saves the frag file information for each fileset.
RESTRICTIONS
You must be the root user to use this command.
EXIT STATUS
This command returns a 0 (zero) on success. Otherwise, it returns a 1 and displays an error diagnostic.
