Hi, Got a question about the mds_backup script on Solaris.
When you run the mds_backup script you will see that it makes lots of smaller *.tgz files during the run. At the end it will tar/gzip those smaller files into larger files and delete the temp files. It means that you should only end up with 1 big *.tgz file which contains several smaller ones which again contains even smaller ones. However I always end up with the following after its finished: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1058897920 Feb 23 14:19 23Feb2009-135304.mdsbk.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2722 Feb 23 14:19 cleaner.csh -r-xr-x--- 1 root root 198504 Feb 23 13:53 gtar -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 63500 Feb 23 13:53 gzip -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57997266 Feb 23 14:11 mds_backup_opt_compkgs.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50367889 Feb 23 14:09 mds_backup_opt_plugins.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71285 Feb 23 14:11 mds_backup_var_compkgs.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 904542 Feb 23 14:09 mds_backup_var_plugins.tgz -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 13056 Feb 23 13:53 mds_restore However when I open the 23Feb2009-135304.mdsbk.tgz file I can see that all those 4 other mds_backup*.tgz files are included inside it. Everyone else got it that way? Is it a bug that it doesn't delete mds_backup_opt_compkgs.tgz, mds_backup_opt_plugins.tgz, mds_backup_var_compkgs.tgz and mds_backup_var_plugins.tgz? As far as I know you only need the 23Feb2009-135304.mdsbk.tgz to restore a MDS. The cleaner.csh does in fact include the following: /usr/bin/rm /export/home/cpbackup/mgt/mds_backup_opt_compkgs.tgz >& /dev/null /usr/bin/rm /export/home/cpbackup/mgt/mds_backup_opt_plugins.tgz >& /dev/null /usr/bin/rm /export/home/cpbackup/mgt/mds_backup_var_compkgs.tgz >& /dev/null /usr/bin/rm /export/home/cpbackup/mgt/mds_backup_var_plugins.tgz >& /dev/null But it doesn't actually delete them even if I run the script manually. But if I run the actual command manually it deletes the file. Anyone seen this?
