5.10.3.4 ODD Backup to Tape
The ODD backup to tape is a backup of the office data base and the Lucent Technologies 3B20/3B21D computer
data base on one tape. The ODD tape will contain the current working data base in the following partitions:
/dev/no5aodd1 /dev/no5dodd1 /dev/no5sodd(i)
The set of data base partitions to be backed up depends on the contents of the /no5text/rcv/aimrc file.
5.10.3.5 Full Office Backup to Tape
This procedure is used to create all of the tapes for the backup desired.
5.10.4 GENBKUP PROCESS: HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT IT DOES
5.10.4.1 Introduction
GENBKUP is the general term used for the program that runs the automated full office backup. The procedures for
a full office backup (disk and tape) are described in Section 6 of this document. Section 6 describes in detail
what GENBKUP does and what the expected outcome is at each step. This section provides additional information
about the program for help in troubleshooting GENBKUP problems.
It is assumed that the user of this document is familiar with the 5ESS-2000 switch and the GENBKUP procedure.
5.10.4.2 General Information
GENBKUP is an interactive UNIX
®
system process, it is started by the
RCV:MENU:GENBKUP;
input message or
195 poke. It terminates itself when the user enters ``q'' (for quit), when prompted, or when the process encounters
an error condition. If termination of GENBKUP is desired and you are not at a prompt where ``q'' is available, then,
start another GENBKUP from another terminal. Because of built-in concurrency control, the new GENBKUP will
detect the old GENBKUP and the system will ask if you wish to terminate the old GENBKUP. The ``y'' (yes) answer
will terminate the old GENBKUP. The new GENBKUP will then go on to do the preliminary checking, but you will be
able to terminate it by entering ``q'' when the initial menu is displayed.
The input message RCV:MENU:GENBKUP should be used on a recent change (RC) terminal while the poke (195)
should be used on a supplementary trunk and line work station (STLWS) terminal or the master control center
(MCC). When the input message is used, the /usr/bin/genbkup program is executed while the poke executes
/usr/bin/SIgenbkp. Both programs are compiled from one source file using different libraries for terminal control
functions and are basically identical. Both programs, therefore, are treated in this document as a single entity which
is referred to as GENBKUP.
5.10.4.3 High-Level Program Flow
The following is a high-level program flow. Some messages that appear on the screen are shown to relate internal
program steps to external stages.
(I) Initial checking (if test fails, it will abort or asks for more input).
(1) Terminal name and type.
(2) Special device files for tape drive 0 (high and low density).
(3) No memory growth in progress.
(4) No ODD BKUP in progress.
