Database Maintenance

Back Up the Database Location

Linter must be active before VolServ initiates. Periodic database maintenance is required to prevent data loss, to improve VolServ performance, and to simplify recovery procedures, if needed.

All maintenance operations are established during the initial VolServ installation. However, the VolServ system administrator can modify the backup script to accommodate the specific needs of each site.

Back up the Linter database location ($VS_DIR/linter/db) when the regular operating system and application backups are performed.

The $VS_DIR/linter/dict/scr_unix.bsl backup script is provided to help you control backups of the database checkpoint files. This script contains the daily and weekly backup times that you can adapt to your specific site.

Note

You must edit this script before running the database backup process.

To edit the Linter backup script, follow the steps below:

Note

Make sure that $VS_DIR/linter/bin is in the root user’s PATH environment variable.

Step 1. Close all Linter Database processes by running shutlinter.

#shutlinter -a
