Cache for nbu_snap (Parameter Value field)

Cache for nbu_snap (Parameter Value field)
Note the following regarding the cache for nbu_snap, specified in the Parameter Value
field of the Frozen Image Client Configuration display:
◆ The cache specifies a raw disk partition: either a logical volume or physical disk. This
is used for storing the portions of the frozen image source that are changed by
incoming write requests while the snapshot is in progress.
◆ Do not specify an active partition containing valuable data. Any data in that partition
will be lost when the nbu_snap snapshot process is complete.
◆ Enter the full path name of the raw partition. Do not specify wildcards (such as
/dev/rdsk/c2*) as paths.
◆ Specify the actual character special device file. nbu_snap will not work for block
special device files.
Basic Requirements For Cache Partition
◆ Must reside on the same host as the frozen image source that you have specified.
◆ For offhost backup, the host containing the frozen image source and cache must be
visible to NetBackup (refer to the chapter titled “SAN Configuration for ServerFree
Agent”).
◆ Must be unmounted.
◆ Must have enough space to hold all the writes to the partition that may occur during
the backup. Note that backups during nonworking hours normally require a smaller
cache than a backup during peak activity.
◆ If an offhost backup method is used, the disk containing the cache must meet the
requirements spelled out under “Disk Requirements for Offhost Backup” on page 122.
