To Back Up the Sun OTP Services

Perform this procedure only from the global zone even when Sun OTP security service is running in the non-global zone.

Before You Begin

In a clustered system, ensure that the Sun OTP service that needs to be backed up is running on the current Sun OTP host.

1. Log in as root (su - root) to the Sun OTP host.

2. Determine the Sun OTP services that you want to back up.

   • To back up all the running Sun OTP services, type:

     /opt/SUNWotp/cli/backup_otp -o backupdirectory -l logfile

     backupdirectory is a directory name on the Sun OTP host. This directory can be any valid NFS path name that can be accessed by the Sun OTP host with write permission. The back up data is stored in a tar file under this backup directory.

     logfile is the name of the log file that contains the output of the backup operation.

   • To back up the Sun OTP high availability service, type the following command:

     /opt/SUNWotp/cli/backup_otp -c h -o backupdirectory -l logfile

   • To back up the Sun OTP system management service, type the following command:

     /opt/SUNWotp/cli/backup_otp -c m -o backupdirectory -l logfile

   • To back up the Sun OTP application provisioning service, type the following command:

     /opt/SUNWotp/cli/backup_otp -c p -o backupdirectory -l logfile

   • To back up the Sun OTP security service, type the following command:

     /opt/SUNWotp/cli/backup_otp -c s -o backupdirectory -l logfile
