Saving logical partitions and system applications

 

This information contains a diagram that shows the system from the perspective of the different file systems available. It shows which SAVxxx commands you can use to save each file system that you use.

For procedures where the system does not require a restricted state, ensure that the system can get the locks necessary to save the information. A restricted state is recommended whenever you save multiple libraries, documents, or directories, unless you use the save-while-active function

If you are saving data on a logical partition with Linux^® installed, use Option 21. See View entire GO SAVE checklist. If you want to save only that logical partition, or selected data from that partition, use third party software.

The diagram shows the save commands that can be used for different file systems:

• The root (/) file system is saved with SAV.

• QSYS.LIB can be saved with SAVSYS, SAVCFG, SAVSECDTA, SAVLIB, SAVOBJ, SAVCHGOBJ, or SAV.

• QDLS (Document library services) can be saved with SAVDLO, or SAV.

• QOpenSys Open systems) is saved with SAV.

• QNetware (Novell Netware) is saved with SAV.

• Domino^® server data directory (Domino for iSeries™) is saved with SAV.

• User-defined file systems (/dev/QASPxx/) or (/dev/asp-name/) are saved with SAV.

• Other file systems are saved with SAV as well.

Figure 1. File Systems–Save Commands

The following file systems are not saveable:

• NFS

• QFileSvr.400

• Saving logical partitions
  Each logical partition functions like an independent system, so you should perform backups accordingly. However, you can also connect them together, or even to another system.

• Saving data for integrated Windows or Linux servers
  Listed in this topic are links that lead you to the information about how to use, back up, and recover data for a System i™ integration with BladeCenter^® and System x™ solution. These integrated servers combine System i storage, x86-based hardware, and the Linux or Windows^® operating systems. You can back up objects, storage spaces, and files for integrated servers.

• Saving NetWare Enhanced Integration information
  The best way for you to back up your Novell data is through PC-workstation-based software.
