If you want to per<strong>for</strong>m an imagebackup <strong>for</strong> a file system mounted on a raw device, the raw device must besupported. Remember to specify raw devices by their block device name.Notes:1. For the <strong>Linux</strong> clients, image backup is only supported on partitions with id0x83 or logical volumes created with the <strong>Linux</strong> Logical Volume <strong>Manager</strong>.Backing up other partitions, such as extended partitions that contain mountedfile systems or database data, might produce inconsistent backup data if thedata changes during the image backup operation.2. On HP-UX, raw logical volume backup does not support devices other thanlogical volumes, such as /dev/dsk/c0t0d1. Logical volume devices usually takethe <strong>for</strong>m /dev/vgXY/lvolAB.3. You should not back up disk slices containing cylinder 0 on Solaris because thevolume table of contents (VTOC) will be overwritten after a restore.4. For AIX, HP-UX, <strong>and</strong> Solaris: You can per<strong>for</strong>m image operations on volumescreated using Veritas Volume <strong>Manager</strong>. <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> will initiallysupport static (default) <strong>and</strong> dynamic image type <strong>for</strong> backup.5. For Solaris 10 clients, image backup is supported only <strong>for</strong> file systems that areassigned from the global zone to the non-global zone by exporting the device(add device + set match). Image backup is not supported <strong>for</strong> other file systemsin the non-global zones because the non-global zone does not have theauthority to mount or unmount the file system. An image backup on a filesystem other than one assigned from the global zone to the non-global zonewill result in a message such as ANS1068E Device is not local6. Also, <strong>for</strong> Solaris 10 clients, the overlap device of the root disk (c0t0d0s2) is notsupported <strong>for</strong> raw device backup. Avoid using this feature on disks or slicesthat are used as swapping devices.Meta devices created by the Veritas Volume <strong>Manager</strong> must be listed, includingthe disk group in /etc/vfstab, to be recognized by the <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong><strong>Backup</strong>-<strong>Archive</strong> client <strong>for</strong> an image backup of file systems. Raw devices shouldnot be listed in /etc/vfstab. For example, the following is the correct metadevice name to be used in the /etc/vfstab file:/dev/vx/dsk//104 <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>UNIX</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Linux</strong>: <strong>Backup</strong>-<strong>Archive</strong> Clients Installation <strong>and</strong> User’s Guide
