Moving the NetBackup Image Catalog

If the image catalog becomes too large for the file system in which it is currently located, you can move it to one containing more space.

  To move the NetBackup image catalog

1. Check that no backups are in progress by running:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps

2. Stop bprd by running:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -terminate

3. Stop bpdbm by running:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -terminate

4. Create the directory in the new file system. For example:

   mkdir /disk3/netbackup/db/images

5. Move the image catalog to the new location in the other file system.
6. Create a symbolic link from /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images to the new location in the other file system.
7. Add the new image-catalog path to the list that is included in NetBackup catalog backups. See Configuring Catalog Backups.

    Caution    Be certain to add the path for the image catalog and not the link name. Otherwise, NetBackup will not back up the new location. In this example, the pathname is /disk3/netbackup/db/images.
