We have such scripts originally written for EMC BCV. We also have adapted them to do Hitachi Shadow Image which is a similar technology. They do use VxVM and VxFS commands and run on HP-UX. They could probably be adapted to Solaris so long as it was running VxVM/VxFS as well. The key however would be to be sure your underlying files used with the scripts have the correct disks for the operations. It would really suck to do the wrong disks or worse yet do the copy in the wrong direction.
You don't really have to do all this with VxVM/VxFS though - anything that lets you mount/unmount mirrors would likely work such as LVM on HP-UX or Linux but of course the commands would be different. I'm pretty sure that years ago we did something similar on HP-UX LVM at another job. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Patrick Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 4:27 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing BCV SAN Mount Points - Best Options You don't say what data is on the BCVs. There are/were scripts that would stop a database, split the BCV, start the database, then mount the BCV on a media server so that it could be backed up as a file system. This required, if I remember correctly, VxFS and VxVM as well as the EMC symmetric commands. Regards, Patrick Whelan VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX.
