NAME

nsr_layout - NetWorker file layout  

SYNOPSIS

type: NSR layout  

DESCRIPTION

The NetWorker server filesystem has a directory called /nsr that contains log files, on-line indexes, and configuration information. This directory can be created in any filesystem with /nsr set up as a symbolic link to the actual directory (this is determined at installation time). The format of this directory is as follows:

/nsr/logs
Contains server logging messages. The files in this directory are in UTF8 format (generally in ASCII, a subset of UTF8).
/nsr/res
Contains the configuration files for various components of the NetWorker server. For example, the server stores configuration files in /nsr/res/nsrdb.
/nsr/mm
Contains the media index. Information about the contents of this index file can be printed with the nsrls(8) command. See the nsrmm(8) and mminfo(8) manual pages on how to view and manipulate the media index information.
/nsr/index
This directory contains subdirectories with names that correspond to the NetWorker clients that have saved files. Each index directory contains files that allow the NetWorker server to provide an on-line database of the client's saved files. The most important element is the db6 directory which contains the NetWorker save records and access indexes to those records. The disk space utilized by the index grows with the number of files saved by the NetWorker service. Administrators should plan to use about 200 bytes per saved file instance placed in this index. There are no practical limits on the maximum size of an online index, except that it must reside entirely within a single file system.
The format of the db6 directory is subject to change, and is accessible only through an RPC interface to nsrindexd(8). However, the nsrls(8) command can be used to obtain some useful statistics from this directory. The nsrck(8) command is used for checking and rebuilding index files as well as recovering index files from backup media.
The data in the files in the db6 directory are stored in platform-independent order, so these files may be migrated from one NetWorker server to another. Moving the media database from one NetWorker server to another of unlike architecture is not currently supported.
The files in the db6 directory include the files listed below. Note that these files are for the internal use of the server and are not to be modified or changed for any purposes.
<savetime>.rec
These files contain the index records for each file saved at the savetime, where <savetime> is a hexadecimal representation of the time.
<savetime>.k0
These files contain the keys on the <savetime>.rec file based on file name.
<savetime>.k1
These files contain the keys on the <savetime>.rec file based on inode. These may be zero length files if the client file index is for a windows client.
<savetime>.sip
This is a save-in-process file and only exists when a save has been started and is not yet complete. Once the save is complete, this file is renamed to <savetime>.rec.
v6hdr
This file contains a summary of all the <savetime>.rec files that exist in a client's db6 directory.
v6journal
This file contains updates to the v6hdr file that are waiting to be merged into the v6hdr file. Any index operation includes the entries here as well as the ones in the v6hdr.
v6ck.lck
This file is a lock that nsrck uses to ensure that only one nsrck operates on a client's index at any given time.
v6hdr.lck
This file locks the v6hdr for reading and the v6journal for reading and writing.
v6tmp.ptr
This file refers to the working directory in which conversion and recovery will take place.
tmprecov
This is a working directory in which conversion and recovery take place.
recovered
This directory contains intermediate results of an index that has been converted or recovered. The results here are complete and will be integrated into the file index when nsrck is run against this client file index.
/nsr/cores
Contains directories that correspond to the NetWorker server daemons and certain executables. Each directory may contain core files from NetWorker server daemons or executables that have abnormally terminated.

/nsr/drivers
This directory may contain any device drivers for use with NetWorker.
/nsr/tmp
This directory contains temporary files used by the NetWorker system.

The executables for the NetWorker system are usually installed in the /usr/etc or /usr/bin, directories though alternate locations may be chosen during installation. See pkgadd(1M) for details on alternate executable locations for Solaris 2.x.

When executables for more than one architecture are installed, the non-native architectures are by default put in the directory /export/exec/arch/etc, where arch refers to a given architecture name. A different location to install non-native executables can be chosen at installation time.

 

FILES

/export/exec/arch/etc
Where NetWorker executables for non-native architectures are normally installed.
/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/lib/nsr
Where NetWorker executables for Solaris 2.x are normally installed.
