Nrtablepath

The nrtablepath option specifies the location of the node replication table on the client. The backup-archive client uses this table to store information about each backup or archive operation to the IBM Spectrum® Protect server.

The server to which you back up your data must be at version 7.1 or newer and must replicate client node data to the secondary server.

When a failover occurs, the information that is on the secondary server might not be the most recent version if replication did not happen before the failover. The client can compare the information in the node replication table against the information that is on the secondary server to determine whether the backup on the server is the most recent backup version.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all clients.

Options File

Mac OS X operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Linux operating systems AIX operating systems Place this option in the client system-options file (dsm.sys).

Syntax

Parameters

path: Specifies the location where the node replication table database is created. The default location is the backup-archive client installation directory.
For non-root users, you must specify a path that your user ID has write access to, such as a temporary directory. Most non-root users do not have access to the client installation directory.

Restriction: The node replication table cannot be created in the root directory (/). If you choose to specify a location for the node replication table, do not specify the root directory.

Restriction: The node replication table cannot be created in the C:\ directory. If you choose to specify a location for the node replication table, do not specify the C:\ directory.
