I have a Networker 6.1.1 server running on HP-UX 11.00
A feature of the build is that bootstraps are written both to tape, and for DR purposes, the bootstrap file is written to a disk volume (/nsr_boot). The volume is mounted with the command;
/opt/networker/bin/nsrmm -m -f /nsr_boot/
The purpose of all this is simply to ensure that when an Ignite backup (make_tape_recovery) of the server is performed, the most recent bootstrap is available in /dev/vg00, so that there is no need to refer to the bootstrap files on tape when the DR server is being built. This is performed with;
/opt/networker/bin/savegrp:-l 0 -I -c <client name> -P
lex_lg_01 bootstrap
Works fine and is a useful facility.
Except...
I'm building a 7.2.2 server on HP-UX 11.iv1 to replace the old server - and I believe that functionality is now a licensed product - when I try to define /nsr_boot/ as a file device, I get;
"Create failed: Server is not licensed for DiskBackup support. Install DiskBackup enabler"
As far as I can see that built-in functionality suddently became a chargeable option from 7.0 onwards.
Can anyone confirm this - before I go off and get a quote for a DiskBackup license - which may well be a tad expensive for all we want it for, does anyone else have an alternative route to getting the same solution? And...anyone know how much DiskBackup is (dollars or otherwise) if no alternative is available?
Thanks
