Preparing an environment for partial catalog replication
The catalog image metadata is required to run restore operations. It is stored in the database, so a backup of the database must be taken at regular intervals and replicated along with the flat file information.
To prepare an environment for partial catalog replication
- Change the configuration on the source (production) primary server to ensure that the staging area for the database is located on the replicated storage. It can be done as follows:
Create a suitable directory on the replicated storage.
Use the following command to make this directory the staging area.
nbdb_admin - vxdbms_nb_staging <directory>
- Back up the database several times per day (ideally each hour) by running the following command in a scheduled script.
nbdb_backup - online directory
