For example Backups Using LVM Mirrored VolumesThis creates the device files /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup Evfsvol check -r evfsvolumepath Syntax is as follows Dev/vg01/lvol5backup # evfsvol display /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6 Evfsvol check -r evfsvolumepath Disable the Evfs backup volume. For example Example File Utility Creating Cleartext Backup Media LVM Mirrored Volumes Map the backup VxVM volume to EVFS. For example Backups Using VxVM Mirrored Volumes # evfsvol raw /dev/evfs/vx/dsk/testdg/backupvol Backing Up and Restoring Data on Evfs Volumes # vxplex -g testdg -v vol05 dis vol05-02 # evfsvol enable -k mykey /dev/evfs/vx/dsk/testdg/backupvol Evfsvol check -r evfsvolumepath # fsck -F vxfs /dev/evfs/vx/rdsk/testdg/backupvol Backing Up Evfs Volumes Example Block Device Utility Creating Cleartext Backup Media VxVM Mirrored VolumesExample File Utility Backups Using Nonmirrored Volumes # evfsvol raw /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5 Evfsadm stat -a Cp -r /opt/encrypteddata /opt/evfsbackup Restoring Backup Media Restoring Backup Data from an Evfs Volume to an Evfs Volume # cp -r /opt/backupevfs /opt/encrypteddata 128 Troubleshooting Tools Overview Troubleshooting Evfs Displaying I/O and Encryption Statistics evfsadm stat Displaying Evfs Volume InformationEvfsadm stat -a-s-z Meaning of each field is as follows Number of data blocks encrypted ADisplays the EMD information for all enabled Evfs volumes Size of the encrypted metadata EMD area, in kilobytes Syntax Verifying the EMD evfsvol check # evfspkey lookup -u root -k rootkey1 Key ID root.rootkey1 Verifying User Keys evfspkey lookup Evfspkey Cannot Generate Key Pairs Problem ScenariosEvfspkey Cannot Store Keys Evfsvol create Fails, Valid EMD Already Exists Evfsvol Cannot Retrieve Private KeySee the evfstab4 man page for more information Evfsvol disable command returns the following error Evfsvol disable Fails, Evfs Volume Is BusyEvfsadm map command returns the following error Evfsadm map Fails, Invalid Device Resets the dirty bit for the specified volume Evfsvol check -r -aevfsvolumepathwhereEMD Is Dirty Collecting Data Reporting Problems 140 Product Specifications User Files Evfs provides the following commands Commands and Tools 144 This appendix contains reference information about Evfs Evfs Quick Reference Preparing Evfs Configuring Evfs # evfsadm map volumepath Option 1 Creating New Evfs Volume Perform inline encryption Start inline encryption Table B-1 Starting and Stopping Evfs Evfs Tasks and Commands Table B-3 Managing Evfs Keys and Users Table B-4 Troubleshooting Evfs 152 Evfs and Serviceguard Overview Using Evfs with ServiceguardRequirements Restrictions Evfs Attribute Definition File ADF Installing Evfs Creating an LVM Serviceguard Storage Infrastructure Creating the Serviceguard Storage InfrastructureCreating a VxVM Serviceguard Storage Structure Configuration Node Adoptive Nodes Creating a Cluster Key Pair Configuring Evfs on the Configuration NodeAdding the Cluster Keys to the EMD Modifying /etc/evfs/evfstab Entries # vgchange -a n /dev/vg02 Preparing Evfs Volumes for Adoptive Nodes# vxdg deport evfsdg Copying the Evfs Configuration Files and Keys Configuring Evfs Volumes on the Adoptive NodesRestoring the Cluster Key Pair Files Creating a Local Passphrase File Deactivating the Volumes Mapping the LVM or VxVM Volumes to EvfsModifying the /etc/evfs/evfstab File Verifying Evfs Configuring the Autostart Feature Installing the Evfs Attribute Definition File Configuring Serviceguard using Modular packagesHalting an Existing Package Copying the Evfs Control and Module Scripts Migrating a Legacy Package Configuration File Creating a Modular Package Configuration FileAdding the Evfs package to the Configuration File # cmmigratepkg -p pkgname -o outputfile.conf where Verifying the Script Adding the Evfs Volumes to the Package Configuration FileLVM and VxVM Modular package example Creating the Package Configuration File Configuring Serviceguard using Legacy packagesCreating a Package Control Script Converting a Package Control Script Installing the Evfs Control Script Adding the Evfs Volumes to the Package Control ScriptModifying the Package Configuration File LVM and VxVM Legacy package example AES Glossary Volume EMD Index Permissions, 85 /etc/rc.config.d/evfs, 62, 72 RSA Vxresize command Renaming
