Maintaining the Database

Helpful commands include:

  • db_export.sh -f [ db_file | tape_device ]

    Exports database table data and ACSLS control database files to tape or a file. Use when reinstalling ACSLS or upgrading to a new ACSLS version using the same database.

  • db_import.sh -f [ db_file | tape_device ]

    Imports database table data and ACSLS control database files from the export tape or file. Use when reinstalling ACSLS or upgrading to a new ACSLS version using the same database.

  • bdb.acsss -f [ backup_file | tape_device ]

    Backs up the database. The command, bdb.acsss, with no argument places the backup file in the default backup location (typically /export/backup/).

  • acsss db

    Brings up the database.

  • rdb.acsss

    Recovers the database after a database failure.
