backup
Hi if you,re using ufsrestore -ivf you got into the first filesystem backed up if you want to see the next one you just type "q" wait for a while and automatically the rmt device got forward the next filesystem.
Information about what filesystem you are step in is displayed at the begining of the next rmt reading so you can read if it is /usr or /var etc
if you're using the same tape for variuos backups then you do not need to rewind the tape if not, rewind it at all and run your script.
Your script is ok BUT if you cant stop DB runing for God's (and you) sake you Must be sure that nobody is logged in even in a telnet session this will avoid garbage in your backup.

Hi every body,
Is it possible to connect two servers Back-to-Back (Point-to-Point) using HBA adapters & using Fiber.
Note it is direct connection & there is no switches between the servers.
I'm concern about using HBA adapters, it is possible or not.
Thanks in advance. :) (3 Replies)
