Sun Cluster System Administration Guide for Solaris OS

SPARC: Example—Performing Online Backups for Volumes (VERITAS Volume Manager)

In the following example, the cluster node phys-schost-2 is the primary owner of the metaset disk group schost-1, therefore the backup procedure is performed from phys-schost-2. The volume /vo101 is copied and then associated with a new volume, bkup-vol.


[Become superuser on the primary node.]
[Identify the current primary node for the disk group:]
