1.1.3 Backup (in UNIX)

This subsection explains how to back up JP1/IM configuration information.

If you change the JP1/IM configuration, make a backup. When you make a backup of JP1/IM, be sure to make a backup of JP1/Base at the same time. For details about how to back up the definition files that are configured by JP1/Base users, see the Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide.

The available backup methods include the tar and cpio commands. You can also use a backup tool such as JP1/OmniBack II to make a backup. Make a backup using a method of your choice, such as copying files. If at all possible, perform backup procedures when JP1/IM daemons are not running. If you must make a backup while these daemons are running, note the following:

The definition files may be modified during execution in some cases. If a backup is made while a definition file is being modified, the backup file will be corrupted.

Immediately following the backup operation, compare the collected backup file with the original file to make sure their contents match.
When you make a backup, do not lock the target file. If you need to lock the file, first log out from all viewers that are connected, and then copy the target file to another file. After you have copied it, compare the copied file with the original file to make sure their contents match, and then back up the copied file.

Back up all of the files shown in the table below. If you back up only some of the files, relationships with the remaining files might become inconsistent, preventing the system from operating correctly.

Also, if the system operates in a cluster configuration, back up each environment in the order of physical hosts, then logical hosts.

The table below shows the JP1/IM files to back up. For a logical host, replace /etc/opt in the table with shared-directory.

#1: The common definition information backup file backs up the definition information of a logical host in a cluster system. This backup file is created during setup of the cluster system. This backup file backs up the definition information of JP1/IM as well as JP1/Base, JP1/AJS, and Version 06-02 and later of JP1/Power Monitor. For details, see 6.1.3(5) Setting common definition information in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Configuration Guide.

#2: This file exists only on a physical host.
