Solaris

Hello experts,

I am using Veritas Volume Manager 5.0. How can i take private region backup and restoration.

thanks in advance...

/usr/lib/vxvm/diag.d/vxprivutil dumpconfig device-pathname

(not sure about restoration though...)

i am not sure, if that's still the same way in 5.0, but in the old versions, you could backup your configuration this way:

save:
------------
This command saves the definition of the volumes, plexes, subdisks, and the disk group itself:
vxprint -g diskgroup -hmQqr > blabla.save

This command saves the definition of the volumes, plexes, and subdisks only:
vxprint -g GROUP -hrmvpsQq > blabla.save

view the saved configuration:
------------
vxprint -D - -rht < blabla.save

recover:
------------
To recover a lost volume using the saved configuration:
# vxprint -D - -rhtmqQ lostvolume < blabla.save > restoredvolume

This command creates object definitions for a restored volume out of the object definitions in the lost volume.

To implement the object definitions of restoredvolume into a real volume:

# vxmake -g diskgroup -d restoredvolume

To start the restored volume, and recover its plexes, if appropriate:

# vxrecover -Es restoredvolume

Thanx..
I wil try..
