Protecting the MSDP catalog on a WORM storage server
By default, WORM storage servers store a copy of the MSDP catalog in the directory /mnt/msdp/vol0 in addition to the original copy that is available under the dedicated catalog volume (/mnt/msdpcat).
If you want extra protection for the catalog, you can configure additional copies. Use the following procedures to manage the MSDP catalog copies from the deduplication shell.
To view the catalog copies
- Open an SSH session to the server.
- Run the following command:
cacontrol --catalog listshadowcopies
To configure an additional copy
- Open an SSH session to the server.
- Run the following command to determine which volumes exist in the
/mnt/msdpdirectory:df -h
Select one of the volumes other than vol0.
Note:
To configure an additional catalog copy, at least one volume other than vol0 must exist in the
/mnt/msdpdirectory. - Run the following command:
cacontrol --catalog addshadowcopy /mnt/msdp/<volume name>Where <volume name> is the volume that you chose in the previous step.
For example:
cacontrol --catalog addshadowcopy /mnt/msdp/vol1
