NetBackup configuration files are not persistent across operations that require restarting the system
The VmTools.cfg and vixDiskLib.ini files do not persist after a node is restarted as a part of an operation such as upgrading or replacing a node.
Workaround:
Use the cp-nbu-config command to copy the NetBackup configuration files from the user's home space to the specified NetBackup configuration destination directory. A NetBackup administrator can use the cp-nbu-config command to create and edit a NetBackup touch configuration file in any of the following directories:
/usr/openv/netbackup/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/usr/openv/java/usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/snapcfg/usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloudSnap/credential/usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloudSnap/proxy/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/usr/openv/netbackup/db/event/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/db2/usr/openv/var/usr/openv/volmgr/usr/openv/volmgr/database
To create or edit a touch configuration file
- Log in to the node.
- Create a new configuration file in the NetBackup administrator home directory, or use the cp command to copy an existing configuration file from its original location to the home directory. For example:
cp /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins/pd.conf ~/
- Make changes to the file in the home directory.
- Run the following command to install the file in its original directory or a supported destination directory:
sudo /opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-config configuration-file destination
where configuration-file is the file that you created or edited, and destination is the directory where it needs to be installed.
sudo /opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-config ~/pd.conf /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins
