Backing up system metadata

This task describes how to back up system metadata.

Steps

  1. From the Administrative command-line interface, create a new system-metadata disaster-recovery dump file.
    sfscli> mkdrfile dr_file_1
  2. Verify that the system-metadata disaster-recovery file was created.
    sfscli> lsdrfile
  3. Exit the Administrative command-line interface and change directories to the directory where the recovery files are stored. List the files in this directory to verify that you have at least four files.
    sfscli>exit
    # cd /usr/tank/server/DR
    # ls
  4. Save these files with your normal file data backup procedures. These files are used to recover system metadata as part of the disaster recovery procedures.
