The snapshot journal space can be increased on the recovery server without impacting the production environment. To increase the Snapshot Journal space on the recovery server:
-
Stop Assure MIMIX for AIX on the recovery server.
-
Unmount any snapshot file systems.
/usr/scrt/bin/rtumnt -C <Context ID>
-
Release a snapshot if it exists.
/usr/scrt/bin/scrt_ra -C <Context ID> -W
-
Stop Assure MIMIX for AIX.
/usr/scrt/bin/rtstop -C <Context ID> -Fk
-
Use rtattr to increase the size of an existing snapshot journal volume.
Note: Any snapshot journal can be increased in size since all snapshot volumes are available for use during snapshot creation/use. -
Determine the name of the snapshot journal to increase.
-
Use the following command to find the snapshot journal volume sizes:
/usr/scrt/bin/rtattr -C <Context ID> -t SCRT/containers/WJournal -a Size
The ObjectName of a snapshot volume that you want to increase.
-
Select one of the snapshot journals and increase the size of the volume.
/usr/scrt/bin/rtattr -C <Context ID> -o <ObjectName> -a Size -v <new size value in bytes>
-
Find the logical volume name for the snapshot journal.
rtattr -C <Context ID> -o <ObjectName from step 8 on page 229>-t SCRT/containers/WJournal -a FileName
-
Remove the existing snapshot journal volume that you want to increase
rmlv -f <ObjectAttributeValue from step 9 on page 229 minus the /dev/r prefix>
-
Create the new snapshot journal volume.
/usr/scrt/bin/scsetup -C <Context ID> -M
-
Restart Assure MIMIX for AIX.
/usr/scrt/bin/rtstart -C <Context ID>
