2.2.9 Backup Directory

Perform the following procedure for Backup Directory:

1. NOAM VIP Console: Determine if backup directory exists:
   1. Execute the below command on an active NOAM server console (accessed using the VIP) and compare the output:

      
      $ cd /var/TKLC/db/filemgmt/
      $ ls -ltr

   2. Look for the backup directory in the output.
   3. Ensure the directory is already created with appropriate permission. The directory is as follows:

      
      drwxrwx--- 2 awadmin awadm 4096 Dec 19 02:15 backup
      

      If the directory is already there with appropriate permissions, then skip steps 2 and 3.

      If directory does not have the appropriate permissions, then perform step 3.

      $ mkdir backup

   3. Run the below command to verify if directory is created:

      $ ls -ltr /var/TKLC/db/filemgmt/backup

      Note:

3. NOAM VIP Console: Change permissions of backup directory:
