Managing the AMASS File System

Example

This example assumes we have two AMASS installations, one in Denver and one in Texas, that need to share data. The Denver site collects data used by the Texas site.

At the Source Site

Step 1. In Denver, collect data and write it to volume group 3 in the AMASS file system.

Step 2. Every Friday afternoon, log in as either amass or root.

Step 3. For SCSI-attached storage devices: Use the voloutlet command to unload volume 67, which is assigned to volume group 3, from the library. (For network-attached storage devices: Use the bulkoutlet command.)

#su root

#voloutlet 67

Step 4. Use the vgexport command as shown in the following example:

User-defined metadata path

#vgexport -f /tmp/newcustomers3

Volume Group

Note

This metadata file is useless without the accompanying volume (67) assigned to a volume group (3).
