Editing an MSDP storage server configuration file
To use a storage server configuration file for recovery, it must contain only the required information. You must remove any point - in - time status information. (Status information is only in a configuration file that was saved on an active storage server.) You also must add several configuration settings that are not included in a saved configuration file or a template configuration file.
Table: Required lines for a recovery file shows the configuration lines that are required.
Table: Required lines for a recovery file
Configuration setting | Description |
---|---|
V7.0 "storagepath" " " string | The value should be the same as the value that was used when you configured the storage server. |
V7.0 "spalogpath" " " string | For the spalogpath, use the storagepath value and append log to the path. For example, if the storagepath is |
V7.0 "dbpath" " " string | If the database path is the same as the storagepath value, enter the same value for dbpath. Otherwise, enter the path to the database. |
V7.0 "required_interface" " " string | A value for required_interface is required only if you configured one initially; if a specific interface is not required, leave it blank. In a saved configuration file, the required interface defaults to the computer's hostname. |
V7.0 "spalogretention" "7" int | Do not change this value. |
V7.0 "verboselevel" "3" int | Do not change this value. |
V7.0 "replication_target(s)" "none" string | A value for replication_target(s) is required only if you configured optimized duplication. Otherwise, do not edit this line. |
V7.0 "spalogin" "username" string | Replace username with the NetBackup Deduplication Engine user ID. |
V7.0 "spapasswd" "password" string | Replace password with the password for the NetBackup Deduplication Engine user ID. |
To edit the storage server configuration
- If you did not save a storage server configuration file, get a storage server configuration file.
- Use a text editor to enter, change, or remove values.
Remove lines from and add lines to your file until only the required lines (see Table: Required lines for a recovery file) are in the configuration file. Enter or change the values between the second set of quotation marks in each line. A template configuration file has a space character (" ") between the second set of quotation marks.
