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.
MPE/iX system user guide22
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:
MPE/iX system user guide24
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.
MPE/iX system user guide26
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.
MPE/iX system user guide28
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.
Backup
TurboSTORE/iX supports two backup types:
Table 3 Backup types
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”.
The files are closed for write access during backup.Online (option ONLINE)
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
variables. See “User-definable backup variables” on page 30.
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
DescriptionValueVariable
none (default)ONLINE
STARTONLINE
none (default)DIRECTORY
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.
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
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.
MPE/iX system user guide30
Setting Backup Variables
1. In the HP Data Protector, switch to the Backup context.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup, and double-click Backup Specifications.
3. Right-click the backup specification and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
4. Click the Options tab, and then click Advanced under Filesystem Options.
MPE/iX system user guide 31
5. Select Other from the Filesystem Options window, and then click Edit under User

Figure 5 Entering the variable
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
“User-definable backup variables” on page 30.
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
variables” on page 35.
MPE/iX system user guide34
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
DescriptionValueVariable
User-definable options that depend on TurboSTORE/iX options are DIRECTORY and

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.
MPE/iX system user guide36
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.
MPE/iX system user guide38
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
variables” on page 30).
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.
