Database
Maintenance
Linter must be active before VolServ initiates. Periodic database
maintenance is required to prevent data loss, to improve
VolServ performance, and to simplify recovery procedures, if
needed.
All maintenance operations are established during the initial
VolServ installation. However, the VolServ system
administrator can modify the backup script to accommodate the
specific needs of each site.
Back Up the
Database Location
Back up the Linter database location ($VS_DIR/linter/db)
when the regular operating system and application backups are
performed.
The $VS_DIR/linter/dict/scr_unix.bsl backup script
is provided to help you control backups of the database
checkpoint files. This script contains the daily and weekly
backup times that you can adapt to your specific site.
To edit the Linter backup script, follow the steps below:
Step 1. Close all Linter Database processes by running
shutlinter.
Note
You must edit this script before running the database backup
process.
Note
Make sure that $VS_DIR/linter/bin is in the root user’s
PATH environment variable.
