2.2.13 Selecting a Multihost Backup Strategy

Before you load data onto the multihost disks in a Sun Cluster configuration, you should have a plan for backing up the data. Sun recommends using Solstice Backup^TM or ufsdump to back up your Sun Cluster configuration.

If you are converting your backup method from Online:Backup^TM to Solstice Backup, special considerations exist because the two products are not compatible. The primary decision for the system administrator is whether or not the files backed up with Online:Backup will be available online after Solstice Backup is in use. Refer to the Solstice Backup documentation for details on conversion.
