ufsdump for root partition
hi,
i executed two ufsdump commands as follows. As you can see, the difference of these commands is just a -(dash) character. I cloured the dash with red. The first command taked the dump of the /dev/rfssnap/1 device and the second command taked the ufsdump of the /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 device. Could someone give me any idea what is excatly doing this dash character with ufsdump command. Which one is a correct dump way for /(root) partition. httpdb# ufsdump 0ufN /oradata/sil2sil /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 /dev/rfssnap/1 DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu 06 Dec 2007 01:09:32 PM EET DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/rfssnap/1 to /oradata/sil2sil.

The second syntax looks bogus to me.
You are using four options, 0ufN, two of which , f and N), require a parameter. the f option got /oradata/sil2sil, this is the file to dump to instead of the default tape. Make sure you have enough space of the /oradata file system. the N option is supposed to get the name of the device but "-" isn't exactly that. As the second syntax has an extraneous parameter, the dump is done on the live file system instead of the snapshot, which may create an unusable backup. |
