Administering Evfs | HP UX Encrypted Volume and Filesystem (EVFS)

4.If the EVFS volume had a file system, use the mount command to mount the file system to a mount point. Add an entry to the /etc/fstab file.

See “Step 2: Creating and Mounting a File System on an EVFS Volume” (page 56) for more information.

For example Backups Using LVM Mirrored VolumesThis creates the device files /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup Evfsvol check -r evfsvolumepath Dev/vg01/lvol5backup Syntax is as follows # evfsvol display /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6 Evfsvol check -r evfsvolumepath Disable the Evfs backup volume. For example Creating Cleartext Backup Media LVM Mirrored Volumes Example File Utility Backups Using VxVM Mirrored Volumes Map the backup VxVM volume to EVFS.
