Question 3:
During scheduled backup, files in an NFS mounted filesystem
(/a/D/GROUPS/... on Windows NT) are being backed up in filespace /, even
though the DOMAIN specifies only ALL-LOCAL.
If the filesystems are mounted on the root partition(/), then what you
stated about the NFS mounted filesystem is true. If you have seperate
partitions for
/,/usr./tmp, the ADSM client recognizes the ufs or jfs or vxfs partitions
created when you built HP-UX O/S not mount points as filespaces that you
could recieve from q fi nodename from
the administrative client.
If you do not want to backup /a/D/GROUPS, you want to issue presched
command to unmount the articular file system...That is if this machine is
on a schedule...
When I have seen stale NFS mount points, it has been when information from
the mounted filesystem on a client is requested and the source(server) is
not available. Usually I have had to stop and restart
nfs(rpc.statd,rpc.lockd.rpc.mountd, etc.-depending on what machine, client
or server). You may want to check out your nfs timeouts for mount and
extend them a little or least to be equal with your commtimeoute for ADSM.
I have in the past timeouts for NFS to fifteen minutes and ADSM to ten
minutes but hey UNIX sysadmins do different things...
FWIW
