Restoring a large number of files in a clustered file system (VxFS on UNIX Only)
In a clustered file system, to restore a large number of files (such as 100,000 or more), the restore finishes sooner if the file system is mounted on a local host. The file system can then be mounted as a shared mount after the restore.
To restore a large number of files in a clustered file system
- Stop all applications (on any nodes) that use the file system.
- Unmount the file system.
- Mount the file system locally.
- Perform the restore.
- Share the mounted file system again, and restart applications (if any).
