About the ovbackup.ovpl Command
The automated backup command ovbackup.ovpl pauses running
processes and flushes their data to disk before backing up the NNM
databases and the data of integrated applications. After the backup has
completed, the NNM processes are resumed.
The command accepts the following options:
ovbackup.ovpl [-operational] [-analytical] [-d \
]
-d If specified, the following location is used:
/ovbackup
If not specified, the following default location is
used:
/var/opt/OV/tmp/ovbackup
Destination must be a file system (that may be
mounted) and should contain sufficient space to
complete the backup.
Approximately 300MB of free disk space is
required to backup a fresh OVO installation.
Bigger environments require more disk space. You
complete the backup itself using a command such
as fbackup to save the backup to an archive
medium such as a tape device. For more
information on the command-line options for
ovbackup.ovpl, see the man page
ovbackup.ovpl(1M).
-operational If specified, or if no option is specified, backs up
operational data, as follows:
1.Runs all backup scripts found in the directory:
$OV_CONF/ovbackup/pre_pause/
Scripts include the OVO script ito_oracle.sh,
which performs the online backup of the Oracle
database outside the ovpause timeframe, and
moves the old archive log files to the staging area.
