Storing custom data on a primary or a media server instance
Flex Appliance does not generally support adding or editing directories and files on application instances. If you create or edit a directory or file and the instance is relocated or stopped for any reason, the changes are not maintained when the instance restarts.
However, if you have critical data that you must store on a NetBackup primary or media server application instance, use the following procedure to add it to the /mnt/nblogs directory.
Warning:
The /mnt/nblogs directory is used for NetBackup logs and has 250GB of storage space that cannot be resized. The data that you add to this directory must be critical and small in size. If you use too much storage space, the instance may be affected.
To store custom data on a NetBackup primary or media server instance
- Log in to the instance as the appadmin user.
- Run the following command to create a directory under
/mnt/nblogs:sudo mkdir /mnt/nblogs/<directory>, where <directory> is the name of the new directory.
- If required, run the following command to create a subdirectory:
sudo mkdir /mnt/nblogs/<directory>/<subdirectory>, where <directory> is the name of the directory that you created in the previous step and <subdirectory> is the name of the subdirectory.
- Add the required information to the new directory.
