Defining a savewpar resource
You can use the command-line syntax and attributes to define a savewpar resource.
The command line syntax for defining a savewpar resource
is as follows:
nim -o define -t savewpar -a server=server_name \
-a location=savewpar_file_location -a source=wpar_name \
-a mk_image=yes savewpar_object_nameAfter the savewpar resource is defined, you can use the savewpar resource
to allocate the resource and create a WPAR, as follows:
nim -o define -t savewpar -a Attribute=Value ... savewparNameThe following flags are valid for the savewpar resource: -A, -a, -b, -e, -i, -m, -N, -p, -V, -v, -X, -Z.
For a description of the savewpar resource valid flags, see the savewpar command.
The following attributes are required for the savewpar resource:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| -a location=Value | Specifies the full path name of the file being defined as the savewpar resource. |
| -a server=Value | Specifies the name of the machine where the file for the savewpar resource resides or is created. |
The following attributes are optional for the savewpar resource:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| -a comments=Value | Describes the resource. |
| -a exclude_files=Value | Specifies an exclude_files resource that is used to exclude files and directories from the system backup. |
| -a group=Value | Specifies the name of a resource group to which this resource should be added. |
| -a mk_image=Value | Specifies the flag that is used to create a savewpar image from a machine in the NIM environment. |
| -a nfs_versValue | Specifies the NFS protocol version required for NFS access. |
| -a nfs_secValue | Specifies the security method required for NFS access. |
| -a savewpar_flags=Value | Specifies the flags that are used in the command to create the backup. |
| -a source=Value | Specifies the name of the machine to be backed up in the savewpar image if the mk_image attribute is specified. If the mk_image attribute is not specified, this value specifies an existing savewpar resource to be replicated when defining a new savewpar resource. The file pointed to by the source resource will be copied to the new location. |
