We have such scripts originally written for EMC BCV. We also have adapted
them to do Hitachi Shadow Image which is a similar technology. They do use
VxVM and VxFS commands and run on HP-UX. They could probably be adapted to
Solaris so long as it was running VxVM/VxFS as well. The key however would be
to be sure your underlying files used with the scripts have the correct disks
for the operations. It would really suck to do the wrong disks or worse yet
do the copy in the wrong direction.
You don't really have to do all this with VxVM/VxFS though - anything that lets
you mount/unmount mirrors would likely work such as LVM on HP-UX or Linux but
of course the commands would be different. I'm pretty sure that years ago we
did something similar on HP-UX LVM at another job.

You don't say what data is on the BCVs. There are/were scripts that would
stop a database, split the BCV, start the database, then mount the BCV on a
media server so that it could be backed up as a file system. This required,
if I remember correctly, VxFS and VxVM as well as the EMC symmetric
commands.

Dear Forum,
I need to backup BCV SAN mount points from netbackup.
Currently i m on 6.5.5 nbu and mounting BCV on Media server which is Sol.

manual mount the SAN FS and take backup.
Any other way available through which i can backup BCV.
Thanks in Advance.
