To avoid the situation of ADSM updating the access-times of files that it
backs up under AIX, I have been experimenting with mounting the file system
read-only...but without success.
The scenario is that the file system (say "/x") will be mounted read-write
as usual, but to accomplish my goal I additionally mount it read-only at
mount point "/r", via 'mount -r /x /r'. Fine: AIX is happy and via AIX
operations I can access files under /r without problem.
But when I try to get ADSM to perform an incremental backup on /r it complains
"ANS4071E Invalid domain name entered: '/r'"
No combination of VIRTUALMountpoint's or DOMain's will make it happy,
and so the goal of backing up the file system in read-only mode cannot
be achieved.
I would be interested in hearing how others may have accomplished
this objective.
