Backup for HW Mirrored Disks

Another reason that made change to raidctl is using and implementing LDoms. I found it a bit complicated maintaining the server with SVM and LDoms. I had to come up with different strategies to make it work (since Sun only provides very simple and basic examples). So I moved to raidctl to get rid of one of the complication factors (i.e. SVM). Costly options are not an option now under the current financial circumstances. FLAR is also an option if it would allow me to make a full backup of the disk. I found a lot of material about FLAR, but can you point me to something that talks about full disk image?
choogendyk, I am also using T5220 (and T2000). Can you share your script so I do not have to re-invent the wheel?
With regards to our business model, we install our application on Sun servers and sell them to our clients (OEM the HW); so we are responsible for the support. Since we partition the disks according to the application needs and manage mirroring, we have to come up with the backup strategy as well. In your case, you bring root partition down to make the backup, right? If that is the case, this means service outage in my case.

I want to increase the size of /tmp by 1GB
I know that the command is
chfs -a size=+1G /tmp
But the rootvg is mirrored and when I do a lsvg -p rootvg, I could see 2 disks.
Will there be any impact if I increase the size of /tmp when the rootvg is mirrored ?
Please advise. (1 Reply)

vxconfigbackup
vxconfigbackup(1M) vxconfigbackup(1M) 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.
