Create bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts for an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP)
Optionally for an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP) you can create custom bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts. An OIP ignores the generic bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts. The scripts only work with the options and .
For more information about the bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts, refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.
To create the scripts
- Locate the generic scripts.
The generic bpstart_notify or bpend_notify scripts reside on the server. The location varies by platform:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/Windows:
Install_path/NetBackup/bin/goodies/
- Copy and edit the scripts.
For an OIP, the scripts must include the
.policynameor.policyname.schedulesuffix or the script does not run at the start or end of the policy. - Rename the scripts.
Examples of renamed scripts:
UNIX:
bpstart_notify.oip_instance1bpend_notify.oip_instance2.fullWindows:
bpstart_notify.oip_instance1.batbpend_notify.oip_instance2.full.bat - Place the scripts in the NetBackup
bindirectory on the client:UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\For RAC OIP backups the
bpstart_notifyand thebpend_notifyscripts must reside on all Oracle RAC nodes.
