Use the scheduler and proxy relationships to back up a GPFS file system.
About this task
Assume that three nodes in a GPFS cluster participate in the backup operation.
Nodes node_1, node_2, and node_3 are used for authentication only.
The objects are backed up to file spaces that belong to node node_gpfs.
Procedure
-
Define four nodes on the IBM® Storage Protect server.
REGISTER NODE node_1 mysecretpa5s
REGISTER NODE node_2 mysecretpa5s
REGISTER NODE node_3 mysecretpa5s
REGISTER NODE node_gpfs mysecretpa5s
- Define a proxy relationship between the nodes.
GRANT PROXYNODE TARGET=node_gpfs AGENT=node_1, node_2, node_3
- Define a schedule.
DEFINE SCHEDULE STANDARD GPFS_SCHEDULE ACTION=incremental
OBJECTS="/gpfs"
DEFINE ASSOCIATION STANDARD GPFS_SCHEDULE node_gpfs
- Choose one of the GPFS systems to run the schedule. Specify the nodename and asnodename options in the dsm.sys options file on all systems in the GPFS cluster. The value for the asnodename option must be the same on all systems.
- Definitions in the dsm.sys options file on
node 1:
nodename node_1
asnodename node_gpfs
- Definitions in the dsm.sys options file on
node 2:
nodename node_2
asnodename node_gpfs
- Definitions in the dsm.sys options file on
node 3:
nodename node_3
asnodename node_gpfs
- Start the scheduler on the system that is chosen to run
the schedule.
