1 MPE/iX system user guide  
Introduction  
This chapter explains how to configure and use the Data Protector MPE/iX integration.  
It describes concepts and methods you need to understand to back up and restore  
the following MPE/iX data:  
User files and directories  
System files  
Filesystem directories  
This chapter provides information specific to the Data Protector MPE/iX integration.  
For general Data Protector procedures and options, see the online Help.  
Integration concepts  
The Data Protector MPE/iX integration uses TurboSTORE/iX backup utility to initiate  
backup and restore. TurboSTORE/iX APIs are bundled with filesystem and use  
TurboSTORE/iX internally to back up and restore MPE/iX files. Among the other  
MPE/iX files, these APIs provide access to specific MPE/iX database files  
(ALLBASE/SQL and TurboIMAGE/XL) and POSIX filesystem files.  
Configuring the integration  
Prerequisites  
Ensure that you have correctly installed and configured Data Protector. You need  
to have at least 15 MB of available disk space (5 MB for the installation package  
and 10 MB for the installation itself). See the HP Data Protector installation and  
licensing guide for instructions on how to install Data Protector in various  
architectures.  
MPE/iX system user guide  
21  
 
               
For an up-to-date list of supported versions, platforms, devices, required patches  
and other information, see the HP Data Protector product announcements, software  
notes, and references or http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.  
Ensure that TurboSTORE/iX or TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-Online is installed on  
your system.  
Ensure that TCP/IP protocol is installed and configured.  
For a list of supported platforms and general Data Protector and MPE/iX-specific  
limitations, see the HP Data Protector product announcements, software notes, and  
references.  
Before you begin  
Configure devices and media for use with Data Protector. See Configuring  
devices” on page 22 for instructions.  
To use backup devices connected to MPE/iX system, install the General Media  
Agent.  
Install the MPE/iX Disk Agent and configure the JINETD.NET.SYS file on all  
supported MPE/iX systems.  
Enable the name resolving mechanism (DNS of host files).  
Configuring devices  
This section describes how to configure standalone devices and SCSI tape libraries  
on MPE/iX.  
Configuring standalone devices  
1. Connect a device to the system.  
22  
MPE/iX system user guide  
 
       
2. Write down tape I/O Configuration from the ISL utility MAPPER.  
a. Press CTRL - B to put the system in control mode.  
b. Enter TC and press RETURN to soft reset the system.  
c. Press any key to override the autoboot.  
d. Enter Y for Boot from the primary boot path (Y or N)? or if  
prompt shows BO PRI. Press RETURN.  
e. Enter Y for Interact with IPL (Y/N)?.  
f. At the ISL prompt, enter: ISL>ODE ODE>MAPPER MAPPER>RUN  
g. After MAPPER scans system I/O configuration, you get the output similar to  
the following:  
Figure 2 I/O configuration: standalone device  
Find the tape device and write down the I/O path and component name.  
3. Restart the system and log in.  
NOTE:  
Do not stream jobs or start network interface and network services.  
MPE/iX system user guide  
23  
 
 
4. Run the SYSGEN utility, IO subsystem:  
24  
MPE/iX system user guide  
 
5. For a standalone (DDS) device, add:  
Path for device and identify it as PSEUDO:  
Tape drive device (always on path address ending with 0), set ID and mode  
as AUTOREPLY:  
IO>ADEV LDEV=30 PATH=52.3.0 ID=HPC1533A MODE=AUTOREPLY  
Autochanger (robotics) device and identify it as PICKER:  
IO>ADEV LDEV=31 PATH=52.3.1 ID=PICKER  
The MAPPER utility lists the path number (for example, PATH=52.3) and ID for  
the device (use the first word from Component Name, for example  
ID=HPC1533A).  
The LDEV number is any free number from 1-255. You can check already used  
numbers by listing all devices with SYSGEN, IO subsystem, or the showdev  
command:  
:SYSGEN  
SYSGEN>IO  
IO>LDEV  
:SHOWDEV  
The path address for autochanger is usually the path address for tape +1.  
NOTE:  
For SCSI devices, use PSEUDO as the device identifier.  
MPE/iX system user guide  
25  
 
6. Keep the new configuration and exit SYSGEN:  
Enter Y for Purge old configuration (yes/no)?.  
7. Create a device link file using mknod:  
:mknod “/dev/picker c 0 31”  
:mknod “/dev/drive c 0 30”  
8. To verify the changes, restart the system.  
After you connected and configured standalone devices, configure them for use with  
Data Protector. For detailed steps, see the online Help index: “configuring standalone  
devices.  
Configuring SCSI tape libraries  
1. Connect a device to the system.  
26  
MPE/iX system user guide  
 
 
2. Write down tape I/O Configuration from the ISL utility MAPPER.  
a. Press CTRL - B to put the system in control mode.  
b. Enter TC and press RETURN to soft reset the system.  
c. Press any key to override the autoboot.  
d. Enter Y for Boot from the primary boot path (Y or N)? or if  
prompt shows BO PRI. Press RETURN.  
e. Enter Y for Interact with IPL (Y/N)?.  
f. At the ISL prompt, enter:  
ISL>ODE  
ODE>MAPPER  
MAPPER>RUN  
g. After MAPPER scans system I/O configuration, you get the output similar to  
the following:  
Figure 3 I/O configuration: SCSI tape library  
Find the tape device and write down the I/O path and component name.  
3. Restart the system and log in.  
NOTE:  
Do not stream jobs or start network interface and network services.  
MPE/iX system user guide  
27  
 
 
4. Run the SYSGEN utility, IO subsystem:  
:SYSGEN  
SYSGEN>IO  
For a SCSI tape library (DLT) device, add:  
The path and device for autochanger:  
IO>PATH PATH=56/52.0 ID=PSEUDO  
IO>ADEV LDEV=30 PATH=56/52.0.0 ID=PICKER  
Paths and devices for tapes:  
IO>APATH PATH=56/52.2 ID=PSEUDO  
IO>ADEV LDEV=31 PATH=56/52.2.0 ID=DLT8000  
MODE=AUTOREPLY  
IO>APATH PATH=56/52.3 ID=PSEUDO  
IO>ADEV LDEV=32 PATH=56/52.3.0 ID=DLT8000  
MODE=AUTOREPLY  
The MAPPER utility lists the path number (for example, PATH=56/52.0) and the  
device ID (use the first word from Component Name, for example ID=DLT8000).  
The LDEV number is any free number from 1-255. You can check already used  
numbers by listing all devices with SYSGEN, IO subsystem, or the showdev  
command:  
:SYSGEN  
SYSGEN>IO  
IO>LDEV  
:SHOWDEV  
The path address for autochanger is usually the path address for tape +1.  
5. For path number (PATH=56/52.0-PATH=56/52.0.0) from MAPPER utility,  
for ID use the first word from Component Name (ID=DLT8000), for autochanger  
use PICKER (ID=PICKER) and for LDEV numbers use any free number from  
1-255.  
NOTE:  
For SCSI devices, use PSEUDO as the device identifier.  
28  
MPE/iX system user guide  
 
6. Keep the new configuration and exit SYSGEN:  
Enter Y for Purge old configuration (yes/no)?.  
7. Create a device link file using mknod:  
:mknod “/dev/dlt_picker c 0 30”  
:mknod “/dev/dlt_tape01 c 0 31”  
:mknod “/dev/dlt_tape02 c 0 32”  
8. Restart the system to verify the changes.  
After you connected and configured SCSI libraries, configure them for use with  
Data Protector. For detailed steps, see the online Help index: “configuring SCSI  
libraries.  
Backup  
TurboSTORE/iX supports two backup types:  
Table 3 Backup types  
Online (option ONLINE) The files are closed for write access during backup.  
True-online (option  
ONLINE=START)  
The files are not required to be closed for write access during  
backup.  
MPE/iX system user guide  
29  
 
         
You perform an MPE/iX backup in the same way as the filesystem backup. For the  
procedure, see the online Help index: “creating backup specifications.  
Additionally, specify the supported MPE/iX backup options in the form of extended  
User-definable backup variables  
Set user-definable backup variables (a variable name and its value) to enable flexible  
operation of the Data Protector MPE/iX integration.  
Table 4 on page 30 lists backup variables and their values.  
Table 4 List of backup variables  
Variable  
Value  
Description  
ONLINE  
none (default)  
If this variable is used, files must be closed for  
write access during backup. This provides  
compatibility to pre-MPE/iX 5.5 TurboSTORE  
backup behavior. The TurboSTORE/iX log file logs  
information about the files that could not be  
backed up. This log is created during backup and  
restore and is presented as  
/tmp/storeprocessid.log.  
ONLINE  
START  
If this variable is used, files are not required to be  
closed for write access during backup. If  
ONLINE=START is not set, “open file” errors will  
occur during backup. For more information, see  
the TurboSTORE/iX documentation  
DIRECTORY  
none (default)  
Used to back up the MPE system directory  
information, which keeps track of the accounts,  
groups, users, and files (but not of the private  
volume sets). Storing directory information helps  
you rebuild your system from backups if you  
unexpectedly lose information. All hierarchical  
filesystem directories on the system are also stored  
when DIRECTORY is specified.  
User-definable options depending on TurboSTORE/iX options are: DIRECTORY,  
ONLINE, ONLINE=START. These options are mapped to the same TurboSTORE/iX  
options.  
30  
MPE/iX system user guide

7. Click Add to add the new variable to the list.  
TurboSTORE/iX backup options  
See User-definable backup variables” on page 30 for the description of ONLINE,  
ONLINE=START, and DIRECTORY variables.  
The following TurboSTORE/iX backup options are always used and cannot be  
disabled: ONVS, TREE, and DIRECTORY (if the whole volume set is checked for  
backup).  
The following TurboSTORE/iX backup options cannot be used as they are replaced  
by the Data Protector functionality: DATE, PROGRESS, and STATISTICS.  
The following TurboSTORE/iX options are not supported: COMPRESS, FCRANGE,  
FILES, FULLDB, INTER, LOGVOLSET, MAXTAPEBUF, NOTIFY, ONERROR,  
PARALLEL, PARTIALDB, PURGE, RENAME, SPLITVS, STOREDIRECTORY,  
STORESET, and TRANSPORT.  
Full system backup  
For full system backup, create two sets of tapes:  
SLT (system load tape) containing system parameters and I/O configuration  
Store tape containing user files and directories and system directory information  
MPE/iX system user guide  
33  
 
         
Creating SLT  
To create a SLT, run:  
sysgen>TAPE (or sysgen>TA)  
When the tape is created, you receive the message that boot backup was generated  
successfully. If an error occurs, a flashing TAPE ERROR message is issued to the  
console.  
Create the SLT tape each time you make configuration changes.  
For more information on SYSGEN, see the System Startup, Configuration, and  
Shutdown Reference Manual.  
Creating Store Tapes  
To create a store tape, perform an MPE/iX backup in the same way as an ordinary  
backup. Additionally, specify the DIRECTORY option. This option stores the system  
directory information in the volset_name_DAF file on the medium. This is not a  
real permanent file as it does not physically exist on the system (it exists only on the  
medium).  
IMPORTANT:  
All users and jobs must be logged off the system during backup. If you need to access  
files during backup, perform the true-online backup (ONLINE=START option).  
To specify the MPE/iX full backup options, make sure the user-definable variable  
DIRECTORY is specified in the backup options window. For the procedure, see  
Restore  
To perform the restore, select the backed up objects and start the session. For details,  
see the online Help index keyword: “restore.  
Besides standard restore options, Data Protector offers MPE/iX-specific options as  
user-definable variables. For information, see User-definable restore  
34  
MPE/iX system user guide  
 
   
User-definable restore variables  
Set user-definable variables (a variable name and its value) to enable flexible  
operation of the Data Protector MPE/iX integration.  
Table 5 on page 35 lists restore variables and their values.  
Table 5 List of restore variables  
Variable  
Value  
Description  
DIRECTORY  
none (default)  
Restores the MPE system directory (volume  
set configuration) information.  
VOLSET  
CREATE  
/volume_set_name  
Performs the restore to target volume set, if  
backed up volume set is different  
(cross-volume set restore using options -as  
or -into).  
NOHFS  
Forces restore of MPE account or MPE group  
instead of HFS directory.  
User-definable options that depend on TurboSTORE/iX options are DIRECTORY and  
VOLSET. These options are mapped to the same TurboSTORE/iX options.  
The option CREATE=NOHFS is not a TurboSTORE/iX option.  
Setting Restore Variables  
1. In the HP Data Protector Manager, switch to the Restore context.  
2. In the Scoping Pane, under Restore Objects, expand the appropriate data type.  
3. Expand the client system and then click the appropriate object.  
4. In the Source Property page, select objects for restore.  
5. Click the Options tab to open the Options Property page.  
6. Click Advanced.

7. In the Advanced dialog box, specify the appropriate variable and its value, and  
then click Add.  
Figure 6 Entering the variable  
8. Click OK to apply the settings.  
TurboSTORE/iX restore options  
The variable VOLSET=/VOLUMESETNAME directs the restore behavior to write the  
data to /VOLUMESETNAME. If the variable is not used, the files are restored to the  
original volume set. This option is used for a cross-volume set restore.  
To restore MPE accounts/groups as native MPE accounts/groups (and not HFS  
directories), use the CREATE variable as well.  
The restore variable CREATE=NOHFS creates an MPE account/group.  
TurboSTORE/iX can only restore data into MPE accounts/groups that already exist.  
If a restore is performed into or as a new MPE account/group, TurboSTORE/iX  
creates a hierarchical filesystem directory instead of an MPE account/group. Set the  
CREATE=NOHFS variable to avoid such behavior and create an MPE account/group.  
TIP:  
You can use restore options together, for example, VOLSET and CREATE=NOHFS, to  
restore an account/group from one volume set to a new account/group on another  
volume set.  
The VOLSET TurboSTORE/iX restore option is always used and cannot be disabled.  
36  
MPE/iX system user guide  
 
     
The following TurboSTORE/iX restore options cannot be used as they are replaced  
by the standard Data Protector functionality: COPYACD, KEEP,NEWDATE, NOACD,  
OLDDATE, and SHOW.  
Pre- and post-exec commands  
Before backup or restore, you may want to check the number of files to back up,  
stop some transaction processing, or shut down a database. Such actions are  
performed using pre- and post-exec commands, which are not supplied by Data  
Protector. Depending on your need, you may prepare your own executables that  
perform the required actions.  
To execute pre- and post-exec commands, enter /bin/sh and the full script pathname  
in the pre-exec and post-exec fields.  
Example  
/bin/sh /usr/omni/bin/script_name  
Shell script can contain commands for job streaming:  
callci stream job_file_name  
Example  
callci stream MYJOB.SYS.PUB  
NOTE:  
Make sure the permissions for pre- and post-exec commands are set properly before  
starting backup or restore.  
For more information on pre- and post-exec commands, see the online Help index:  
“pre- and post-exec commands.  
Disaster recovery  
Disaster recovery on MPE/iX is performed manually and involves recovering the  
system using the SLT tape. In addition, Data Protector is used to restore all files,  
including the system directory information.  
MPE/iX system user guide  
37  
 
       
See the STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Products Manual for more information about  
disaster recovery on MPE/iX.  
Prerequisites  
SLT containing system parameters and I/O configuration  
Store tape containing user files and directories and system directory information  
Recovery Procedure  
1. Boot your system from the latest SLT. Use the INSTALL utility to make your hard  
disk is bootable.  
2. Run VOLUTIL to initialize the system volume set members.  
Example  
volutil: SCRATCHVOL LDEV=2  
volutil: NEWVOL MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER 2 LDEV=2  
PERM=80 TRANS=100  
volutil: EXIT  
Verify that the master volume (LDEV1) for MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET is in  
the MASTER state. Other volumes may be in the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state.  
These are the volumes that must be re-initializing.  
VOLUTIL is not necessary if the members of the system set are defined in the  
SYSGEN utility using AVOL. If this is not done, the members of the system volume  
set initialize when INSTALL is performed.  
3. Reinstall Data Protector.  
4. Restore the latest backup of your system directory information. Select the  
volset_name_DAF object and specify the DIRECTORY option. All system  
information is restored.  
5. Restore your latest filesystem backup.  
6. Restart the system.  
Supported CLI commands  
Data Protector A.06.11 supports the omnib command.  
38  
MPE/iX system user guide  
 
   
Prerequisites  
For the omnib command to operate properly, add the MANAGER.SYS user to  
the admin group.  
NOTE:  
Due to the limitations of the MPE/iX Posix shell (utility nroff is not implemented), it is  
not possible to implement help for this command as a man page.  
For a description of the omnib command, see the HP Data Protector command line  
interface reference.  
NOTE:  
On MPE/iX, the omniintro man page is also available in /usr/omni/docs.  
Backup and restore of MPE/iX database  
MPE/iX supports ALLBASE/SQL database and the TurboIMAGE/XL Database  
Management System.  
When backing up the MPE/iX database, consider the following:  
To back up a complete database (all database files), perform true-online backup.  
To back up database files, select the account/group in which they reside.  
Follow the standard backup procedure (see Backup” on page 29). Additionally,  
specify user-definable backup variables (see User-definable backup  
To understand the options ONLINE and ONLINE=START, perform the online database  
backup.  
If the ONLINE option is used, the files closed for write access are not backed up. The  
TurboSTORE/iX log contains the information about the files that are not backed up.  
If the ONLINE=START option is used, all files are backed up, including those closed  
for write access. This is called true-online backup.  
See TurboSTORE/iX log files” on page 40 for examples of TurboSTORE/iX log files  
options ONLINE and ONLINE=START.  
MPE/iX system user guide  
39  
 
   
TurboSTORE/iX log files  
During backup or restore, TurboSTORE/iX creates a log file, saved in the /tmp  
directory. Its name consists of store or restore process and the process identification  
number (pid), for example store74711122.log.  
IMPORTANT:  
TurboSTORE/iX log file for backup can show more objects than actually backed up. That  
is because of some Data Protector options (–skip, -only, -since) where the data is  
read but not written to the medium. The line Total media written is related to  
TurboSTORE/iX, not to Data Protector, media.  
Below are the examples of TurboSTORE/iX log files.
