Configuring a Frozen Image Method
78 NetBackup ServerFree Agent System Administrator’s Guide
9. Select a frozen image method from the picklist.
Note You cannot apply more than one method to the same frozen image source.
For guidance on nbu_snap, fsclone, and vxvm, refer to the “Core Frozen Image
Services”chapter. For TimeFinder, ShadowImage, and BusinessCopy, refer to the
“Extended Frozen Image Services (Array Integration Option)” chapter.
10. If you chose nbu_snap as the frozen image method, specify a raw partition for the
snapshot cache by entering the cache partition’s full path name in the Parameter
Va lu e field.
For example: /dev/rdsk/c2t0d3s3
Do not specify wildcards (such as /dev/rdsk/c2*).
Caution The partition’s contents will be overwritten by the nbu_snap snapshot process.
11. If you chose TimeFinder, ShadowImage, or BusinessCopy as the frozen image
method, specify values for the following. (Note that async_resync is also supported
by the vxvm method.)
synch_at_start: (Enter 0 or 1.) At start of backup, determines whether or not the
primary and mirror devices are automatically synchronized (if they were not already
synchronized) before the backup begins. Specify 1 to have unsynchronized devices
synchronized before the backup begins. 0 means that unsynchronized devices will not
be synchronized before the backup starts. In this case (0), if the primary and mirror
devices are not synchronized, the backup will fail.
async_resync: (Enter 0 or 1.) At end of backup, determines whether or not the backup
job will wait for completion of the resync request. A value of 1 means that a
resynchronize request will be issued, but the backup will not wait for the resync
operation to complete. A value of 0 means that the backup job cannot reach
completion status until the resynchronize operation has finished.
Choosing 1 may allow more efficient use of backup resources. For example, if two
backup jobs using Extended Frozen Image Services need the same tape drive, the
second job can start even though the resync-at-end operation issued by the first job
has not completed.
12. To configure another frozen image source for the client, repeat from step 6.
13. When finished configuring frozen image sources, click OK.
14. To configure a frozen image for another client, repeat from step 3.
