Core Frozen Image Services: Overview
The following three frozen image methods require installation of the “Core Frozen Image
Services” product. These methods are hardware independent: the client data may be on
any disk supported by NetBackup.
◆ nbu_snap (Solaris only)
The nbu_snap frozen image method is for making copy-on-write snapshot frozen
images (for ufs or VERITAS VxFS file systems).
◆ fsclone (Solaris only)
The fsclone frozen image method is for making copy-on-write snapshot frozen
images. VERITAS Database Edition for Oracle 2.2, with VERITAS File System (VxFS)
3.4, must be installed on NetBackup clients. VERITAS recommends that the fsclone
frozen image method only be used with Oracle databases.
- The fsclone frozen image method is not supported for backing up raw partitions
(whether FlashBackup or Standard policies).
- Make sure there is enough disk space available for the clone. The file system
containing the frozen image source must have at least 5% free space in order to
successfully implement the clone.
◆ vxvm (Solaris or HP-UX)
The vxvm frozen image method is for making mirror frozen images with VERITAS
Volume Manager 3.1 or later snapshot mirrors.
The vxvm frozen image method works for any file system mounted on a VxVM
volume. However, before the backup is performed, the frozen image source must be
configured with a VxVM 3.1 or later snapshot mirror (otherwise, the backup will fail).
For help configuring a snapshot mirror, refer to “Creating a Snapshot Mirror of the
vxvm Frozen Image Source” on page 89, or to your VERITAS Volume Manager
documentation.
Note Since VxVM does not support fast mirror resynchronization on RAID-5 volumes,
the vxvm frozen image method must not be used with VxVM volumes configured
as RAID-5. If the vxvm frozen image method is selected for a RAID-5 volume, the
backup will fail.
