Use
the dynamicimage option with the backup
image command or the include.image option
to specify that you want to perform a dynamic image backup.
Supported Clients
This
option is valid
for AIX®, Solaris, HP-UX and
all Linux clients. The Tivoli® Storage Manager API does
not support this option.
Options File
Place
the include.image statement
containing the dynamicimage value in the server
stanza
in your system-options file, dsm.sys. You can also set this option
using the Preferences editor.
Syntax
>>-DYNAMICImage-- --value--------------------------------------><
Parameters
- value
- Specifies one
of the following values:
- yes
- Use
this option only if the volume cannot be unmounted and remounted
as read-only. Tivoli Storage
Manager backs up the volume as is without remounting it as read-only.
Corruption of the backup can occur if applications write to the volume
while the backup is in progress. In this case, run fsck after a restore
and manually mount the file system in order to regain access to the
volume. This option is valid for AIX,
Solaris, HP-UX and all Linux clients.
Note: This
option is not allowed for AIX JFS2
file systems.
- no
- Use this
option if you do not want to perform a dynamic image
backup. This is the default. The default behavior depends on the platform
and file system type. For platforms and file systems that support
snapshot, namely AIX JFS2 file
systems and LINUX LVM file systems, the default is snapshot-based
image backup. For all other UNIX platforms
and file systems, the default is static image backup.
Examples

- include.image /kalafs1 dynamicimage=yes
- Command line on backup image:
