Problem with raw device backup

[Nerom]

Hello all,

We try to perform a raw device backup. The raw device are:

/dev/vgpprodmisc/rlvlegdat01
/dev/vgpprodmisc/lvlegdat01
/dev/vgpprodmisc/rlvleglog01
/dev/vgpprodmisc/lvleglog01

The directive that we have create are:

<< /dev >>
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprodmisc/rlvlegdat01
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprodmisc/lvlegdat01
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprodmisc/rlvleglog01
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprodmisc/lvleglog01

But the result of backup is:

Sep 08 16:51:17 pbck02: NetWorker Savegroup: (notice) Unix RAW completed, 1 clie
nt(s) (All Succeeded)
Sep 08 16:51:17 pbck02: Start time: Mon Sep 8 16:50:25 2003

Why?

Installation details:
Backup Server: &quot;pbck02&quot;, Solaris 2.8 , networker 6.1.3
Client: &quot;ppsic02&quot;, HPUX 11.0, networker 6.1.3, raw device sybase

Thanks.

Never worked with a RAW device on HP-UX but the device names
shoud differ:

- a RAW device does not have the same device name as a
&quot;normal&quot; file system device. Use the one for the RAW
device (usually starts with &quot;r....&quot;
- Applying a &quot;+&quot; in front of &quot;rawasm&quot; at least does not make
sense as you will not walk through a filesystem anyway.
- start from root

The solution to my problem was that i did not put the filename of the partition netween quotes:

&quot;.nsr&quot; file before:
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprod/rlvlegdat01
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprod/lvlegdat01
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprod/rlvleglog01
+rawasm: /dev/vgpprod/lvleglog01

&quot;.nsr&quot; file after:
+rawasm: &quot;rlvlegdat01&quot;
+rawasm: &quot;lvlegdat01&quot;
+rawasm: &quot;rlvleglog01&quot;
+rawasm: &quot;lvleglog01&quot;

In the Clients Saveset field i put the complete path:
/dev/vgpprod/rlvlegdat01
/dev/vgpprod/lvlegdat01
/dev/vgpprod/rlvleglog01
/dev/vgpprod/lvleglog01

With this changes the backup and recover runs correctly.

Thanks for your help.
Regards.
