Shell script storage

DB2 scripts must reside on the NetBackup client. Backup scripts are associated with a policy by specifying the file name (including path) in the policy file or script list. For server-directed or scheduled backups, each client in the policy's client list must have a copy of the script with the same name in the same location.

The backup processes and recovery processes sometimes require passwords for DB2 database access and system user accounts.

Shell script storage in a NetBackup cluster

The shell scripts pertain to NetBackup for DB2 environments that are not installed in a cluster.

If you operate within a NetBackup cluster, make sure that the restore shell scripts reside in a file system that is shared between all nodes in the cluster.
