Verifying the NetBackup for Informix configuration
Use the following procedure to verify that environment variables, paths, and other settings are correct for your installation.
To verify the configuration
- Verify the existence of $BAR_BSALIB_PATH, which is defined in the Informix $CONFIG file. This path should point to NetBackup's /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/infxbsa.[so,sl,a] library. Ensure that the permissions are set to 755.
- Verify that the Informix policy and schedule are properly created.
Set the following variables in the Informix $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG configuration file:
BAR_DEBUG. This variable sets the level of detail to be gathered about the backup. The range is 0-9, with 9 providing the most detail. The Informix instance uses the value that is specified in this variable, and it provides debugging information according to the level specified.
BAR_DEBUG_LOG. This variable sets the location of the file to collect the log. This should be the same location MSGPATH specifies in the Informix configuration file, $ONCONFIG.
To set these variables, stop and restart the Informix instance, as follows:
For Informix version 9.x, run the following Informix commands:
onmode -uky oninit
For Informix version 8.x, run the following commands:
xctl onmode -uky xctl -C oninit
- Make sure the table bar_version in the sysutils database has the correct value for the bar_version column. The value should be 1.1.0.
- (Optional) Verify that you are using the correct library.
Perform this step if you use NetBackup for Informix on an IBM AIX platform.
