Tape device (or) File library device

 

 

To back up the keys of an HP-UX EVFS volume by using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector, complete the following steps:

Step 1 To create a sample HP-UX EVFS volume on the client system (source), evfs2.hp.com, complete the following tasks:

1. To create an LVM volume of size 5 GB, enter the following command:

$ lvcreate -L 5120 -n ldp_raw vg01

The following output is displayed:

Logical volume "/dev/vg01/ldp_raw" has been successfully created with character device "/dev/vg01/rldp_raw".

Logical volume "/dev/vg01/ldp_raw" has been successfully extended.Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg01 has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg01.conf

2. To map the LVM volume to the HP-UX EVFS volume, enter the following command:

$ evfsadm map /dev/vg01/ldp_raw

The following output is displayed:

Volume "/dev/vg01/ldp_raw" has been successfully mapped to EVFS volume "/dev/evfs/vg01/ldp_raw"

Step 2 To enable the encrypted volume on the source client system, complete the following tasks:

1. To generate user keys for the encrypted volume, enter the following command:

$ evfspkey keygen -p

The system prompts for the user passphrase. Enter the passphrase and confirm it.

Enter passphrase:

Re-enter passphrase:
