Solaris 8 Backup

Hi , I'm quite new to Solaris 8. Recently I just found out that the NOC never do backup for our servers. Frankly speaking I do not know how to setup a backup configuration and schedule for the backups. Which program does Solaris use to do backups and how do I go about installing the tape driver and program, I'm desperate sirs. If anyone know, please enlighten.

Configuring the Device Drivers - Solaris 2.x
Under Solaris 2.x, it is necessary to configure the devices directory using the following steps:
Shutdown the computer.
Connect and power-up the DAT-Link with the chosen SCSI ID set on its switch.
Boot the workstation using the boot -r command. This will reconfigure the machine for all connected devices.
After the computer has booted the system will have created a new device file for the DAT-Link. If there are no tape devices or other DAT-Links connected to the machine this will be named /dev/rmt/0. If other tape devices also exist, the tape unit number in the above path may be a higher number. These files are actually symbolic links to filenames which identify the SCSI ID of the device. For
example, if the DAT-Link is connected with SCSI ID 5 and is the only tape device on the system, then /dev/rmt/0 will be a symbolic link to /sbus@f,e0001000/esp@1,200000/st@5,0:. The ``@5'' at the end of this path shows that the device is at SCSI ID 5.
Create a symbolic link from the above file to /dev/datlink0. For example,
ln -s /dev/rmt/0 /dev/datlink0
The DAT-Link should now be ready to use.

So how to fix my pam.d config with solaris-backup-1
Thanks for your help

I do "beadm activate solaris-backup-1"
and i obtain with "beadm list" :

I didn't find my files in /opt
So i activated/mounted solaris

New to Solaris administration - Need some help with some issues

Hello all,
I am a new to Solaris administration and need some assistance with a few things. I was going to make separate posts but decided it would be easy to keep track of in one. I really do not know much about the OS but I do have a little Linux background so that might help me out. I am going to number my problems to keep them sorted, so here we go.
The machine:
Sunfire V880
4x 73GB HDs
PCI dual fiber channel host adapter
Attached RAID array:
Sun StorEdge T3 Array with 9x 73GB HDs
Sun DDS4 Tape Drive in a Unipack
OS: Solaris 5.10
Updates: Updated everything except 2 patches (Updating is a real pain isn't it? At least it seems that way to me.)
1. So I might as well start with the update issues! These 2 updates will not install:
-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
-Patch for mediaLib in solaris, (121620-03)
Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to save files. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 4.
No idea why the PostgreSQL update is not working, but the medialib patch seems to not have enough hard drive space.
2. Where are all the drives? I don't know how to find the RAID box or the other 3 internal hard drives. When I installed the OS, I think I installed it on only one hard drive and that might be part of the reason why the medialibe update above says that I don't have enough space.
3. I probably need more space for the OS and updates, is there a way to "add" space onto the hard drive that currently is running the OS?
3. Once I see the other hard drives I wish to combine them to make a RAID 0 and RAID 5 array, how do I go about doing that?
4. How can I find/see the tape drive?
5. Does my swap space really need to be 64GB? I know the book I have read suggests it, but I only made it 5GB because it didn't seem to make sense to make it 64GB.
Thank you in advance for the help. I know these are a lot of questions to ask but please go easy on me :)

-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
Exit code 0 means there were no errors. When you run showrev -p 137004-02, does your system show that the patch is installed? You can check the log for a particular patch add attempt in /var/sadm/patch/+patch_num_rev+1- A bunch of stuff shows up, here is a portion (I am not entirely sure what it means, there must be a least a page of stuff like this):

When you run format command, how many drives are listed? Identify your root drive (compare with output of df command you ran earlier) Please post here.2. Output of df-hk, looks like I ran out of room. Should I just go ahead and reinstall the OS?

3. So I guess the general consensus is to reinstall the OS, is that correct?
4. There is nothing in \dev\rmt, and unfortunately I don't have a tape to test it with!
5. I guess 5GB will be ok for what we do.

3. Judging by the above text I will be doing a reinstall huh?
4. Actually I am not familiar with tape backups let alone solaris backup apps! Any suggestions? (Preferably free, have to cut down on costs.)

- My Tape Device is SONY-SDX 550V and it is not in oracle tape drive support list.
- OSB 10.2.0.2
- Windows 2003 Operatin System
- I went through the ob_drives file under ORACLE BACKUP HOME/device and added SDX 550V entry n this file and
- I restarted Oracle_Secure_Backup service. But it does not work again.
Your comment will be appreciated.

Thank you for your help and negotiating to solve this problem.
I am deploying your suggestion with two different type of tape drives
1. Hp DAT 72 7438A existing in Oracle Tape Device Certified List
2. SONY SDX-550V which is not exist in Oracle Tape Device Certified List
Right now I am working on # 2 (SONY SDX-550V)
the only modification in my configuration was using of new volume instead of
old one and try to mount this new volume in write mount in

How to use this backup command

I am learning about solaris backup, I found three useful backup command, I am confusing about them, can not find
explanation on the man page
ufsdump 0f - / | ( cd /cop/0 ; ufsrestore -rf - )
ufsdump 0f - /export/home | ( cd /cop/7 ; ufsrestore -rf - )
installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
I try first two commands, they are works, my questions are,
1 The hyphen dumps the data to standard output, what is the standard output?
2 why use the ufsrestore -rf -
3 when I finish the first command, there is nothing record in the /etc/dumpdates, why?
4 it seems they are useful to copy from disk to disk, but , when I restore data,
will I use the command ufsrestore as usual?
5 currently, in the real world, what kind of backup command do you use in your
company? Because many books give me command of backuping data to tape,
are you still using tape nowadays? or do you backup data to hard disk instead of
tape?
appreciated for any help, thanks

Where to begin..
Well, question 1 and 2:
The commands you found are commands which were used to copy the entire root disk, as well as the partition /export/home to a new disk.
Apparently the person who first used them had a new harddrive, which he (or she) partitioned and mounted under /cop/ . He (or she) then copied all the data from the / and /export/home partitions to the new disk.
Hence the use of ufsrestore.
There are two outputs, standard output (also referred to as - or STDOUT) and standard error.
Any normal output from any command (such as 'ls') is sent to STDOUT . You can redirect data from STDOUT to a file by using >, i.e:
ls > /tmp/output.ls
STDERR is where error messages go.
Apart from STDOUT and STDERR you also have something called STDIN (or Standard Input), which is used to feed data to a command.
Just as you can use > to send STDOUT, you can use < to send STDIN, i.e:
cat < /tmp/output.ls
In the example you posted with ufsdump/ufsrestore the use read the content of a partition with ufsdump, then send it through a pipe to ufsrestore, which writes it down at a different place. The result is that the user gets a copy of the / disk under /cop/0 .
As such thats not a backup command, its a way of copying a disk.
Question 3:
Because there is no 'u' option, to update /etc/dumpdates you need to use the u argument to ufsdump, in your example:
ufsdump 0fu - /
Question 4:
Well. There are two ways to do a ufsdump to a disk, one way is to do it the way you did it, by piping it to ufsrestore. In that case you can't restore your files using ufsrestore, since they are already copied to the disk.
The second way to use ufsdump to a disk is to write the entire dump to a file, i.e.:
ufsdump 0fu /path/to/ufsdump_of_root.dmp /
Then you can restore a file using ufsrestore, to use an interactive restorer:
ufsrestore fi /path/to/ufsdump_of_root.dmp
Question 5:
Most companies i have worked at uses a mix, some backups are written to disks and some to tape. In particular the short term backups (in the time frame one week to one month) are disk based and everything else (one month to ten years) are tape-based.
But it really depends on what kind of data it is and what legal requirements you have. If you have to store data for a few years disk backups are not really an option. The benefits of tape backups are that they are quite fast (in particular LTO5), they don't really consume any electricity and you can easily enlarge your archive by buying more tapes.
I once calculated how many harddrives i would need to store 10 years of backups online. I don't remember how many harddrive i needed (but it was 100TB +), but it would require about 10-15kW of electricity...
Harddisk backups was popular a while ago, but i think tape is coming back, at least thats my impression.

Solaris to Linux

Hi,
Is it possible to restore a backup taken on a Solaris box to a Linux box?
Have attempted this but when try to run sqlplus, svrmgrl etc, message received was cannot execute binary file.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks

Which type of backup? Oracle backup or a Solaris backup?
If it is an oracle export, then the answer should be yes since data is data UNLESS your O/S is 64bit and the linux box is 32bit. Also, sparc and intel are not compatible archeticures (try moving shadow files sometime). Otherwise, if it was a dump (file system) then no.
Have a better day than I,

"Forbidden" message when trying to access LMS 4.0

I have installed LMS 4.0, installed the 2008 R2 patch as well. Everything worked with SSL until I did an import from our 3.2 Solaris version. After that, now when I access the application I get a message:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request"
I have recreated the certs, reset the casuser, verified the correct prvilieges were set for casuser.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
Kimberly

Sorry to bring the bad news
In fact, you can't do that because AFAIK the solaris backup has several hardcoded paths in it that don't match the windows 2008 R2 paths.
I figured that the restore would get aborted or simply fail but apperently there is no detection of the 'other' unix type backup.
You can use the clean_system.exe to erase the existing LMS install and reinstall
I would export the DCR from the LMS3.2 to a file and import that.
Cheers,
Michel

Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

Hi All,
I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
Thanks for your help.

How can I create a system backup in Solaris 10?

Hello,
sorry about my English.
I need to create a image of entire disk or a system backup. I think use "ufsdump" but I'm not sure. Can I create a backup of whole disk with "ufsdump" command? Are there any application to do it.?
I've got a Solaris 10.
Thank.
Alejandro.

If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)

What are the various ways to take backup on solaris 10

What are the various ways to take backup on solaris 10.
Kindly tell in detail
Thanks in advance

ufsdump - used for ufs backup. you can perform full (0), incremental and differential backups.
example1. ufsdump 0cfu /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0 - back-up root filesystem to tape device
example2. ufsdump 5fuv /dev/rmt/1 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6 - back-up filesystem on partition 6 to tape device
tar - used to bundle set of files and directories. No hidden files will be backed-up
example - tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 / /usr /var /home - back-up / (root), /usr, /var and /home filesystems to tape device.
dd - convert and copy file
example 1. dd if=/dev/rmt/0h of=/dev/rmt/1h
example 2. tar cvf - . | compress | dd obs=1024k of=/dev/rmt/0 conv=sync
cpio - good for restoring image from one system to the other.
see man pages for in-depth details

Hi,
/998 is SAN mountpoint taken from IBM XIV.
oepmprd@basfisprddatg01$ cat /etc/vfstab | grep -i u998
/dev/md/dsk/d200 /dev/md/rdsk/d200 /u998 ufs 2 yes logging
I have done some testing and following are results.
1.
ASMCMD> cp hfm22.dbf /u998/backups/epmprd/rman_backup
copying +DGA1/epmprd/hfm22.dbf -> /u998/backups/epmprd/rman_backup/hfm22.dbf
oepmprd@basfisprddatg01$ du -sh hfm22.dbf
2.0G hfm22.dbf
Time taken: 29 seconds
================================================
2.
ASMCMD> cp group_5.600.766282841 /u998/backups/epmprd/rman_backup
copying +FRA/epmprd/ONLINELOG/group_5.600.766282841 -> /u998/backups/epmprd/rman_backup/group_5.600.766282841

oepmprd@basfisprddatg01$ du -sh temp01.dbf
10.0G temp01.dbf
Time taken: 03 mins, 16 seconds
=================================================
Moreover, i copied a file from /u998 to /tmp and it was quick:
grid@basfisprddatg01$ pwd
/u998/backups/epmprd/rman_backup
grid@basfisprddatg01$ du -sh ora_df_EPMPRD_20111210_7783_1_1
266M ora_df_EPMPRD_20111210_7783_1_1
grid@basfisprddatg01$ cp ora_df_EPMPRD_20111210_7783_1_1 /tmp/
It took 2-3 seconds.

How to restore a Oracle 9i Backup from Sun Solaris to Linux

Dear all,
I am using Oracle 9.0.1.
I make a Hot Backup which made by Rman in the Sun Solaris
and now, I want to restore this backup to the Linux machine.
But in the Linux machine,
the database name & path is different from that in Sun Solaris.
Does Oracle backup can restore across different platforms?
Does anyone know how to do write ryman statement to do this?
Thank for your kindly help.
Wilson

You cant resore backup in different platform.
