Hello,
I have two RedHat Enterprise Linux v. 2.4.21 that are setup in a cluster. Each
server has local disks for the operating system, and the data is on a shared
filesystem that is mounted from the SAN, but this filesystem is only mounted on
the "primary" server. Each physical node in the cluster (db-server02a and
db-server02b) is configured as a client in Networker, and backs up all
savesets. I configured a client for the virutual cluster name (db-server02) and
it only backs up the filesystem from the SAN.
The backup schedule is full once a month, incremental the rest of the month.
Everytime I do a backup of the virtual machine, it does a full backup, even
when it's scheduled for an incremental. The following is from the logs:
12/05/05 12:04:52 nsrd: savegroup info: db-server02.syr.edu:/mysql: No full
backups of this save set were found in the media database; performing a full
backup
When I run mminfo, I don't see anything for db-server02, but do I see the
entries for the SAN filesystem in db-server02a.
How do I backup the SAN filesystem with the vitual machine name so that it
doesn't do a full backup every time?
I tried adding the file pathownerignore in the /usr/sbin directory as per the
pathownerignore man page, but that didn't change the behavior.
A message in the Networker archives that suggested to "put "save -c
virtual-name" in the Backup Command filed in the Remote tab." I've never put
anything besides "savepnpc" in that field, so I don't think I fully understand
what it's doing. Does this work? Has anyone had problems with it?
My backup server is running Solstice Backup 6.1.4 Build 562 on Solaris 8.
Thanks!
Nicole
