To back up objects in a VxVM volume using NetBackup
If the system this test is running on is a clustered system, create a shared disk group using the -s option.
# vxdg -s init database_dg disk1 disk2 disk3 \ disk4 disk5 disk6
# vxassist -g database_dg make vol_name 10G \ layout=mirror-stripe init=active # vxvol -g database_dg set fastresync=on vol_name # vxassist -g database_dg snapstart nmirror=1 vol_name
If the VxVM volume is a clustered volume, mount the VxFS file system with the "-o cluster" option.
