How to move the image catalog on a Solaris Server

Move Net backup catalog images to New location.


1. Shut down the NetBackup services on the master server. This may be done by running:

#  /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/netbackup stop

Check the status of Netbackup server.

# ./bpps -a 

2. Copy the contents of the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images directory to its new location, then rename the old images directory to images_bak as a backup copy.

# cp -pr /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images /disk1/netbackup/db/images 

3. Rename the old images directory to images_bak as a backup copy:

# mv /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images_bak 

4. Create a symbolic link from /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images to the new location:

# ln -s /disk1/netbackup/db/images /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images

5. Restart NetBackup services by running:

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/netbackup start
