Assure MIMIX for AIX
The filesystems configured in the following replication groups should not be automatically mounted at system restart or manually mounted when the system is up:
  • Assure MIMIX for AIX non-clustered Replication Group

  • Assure MIMIX for AIX Replication Group managed by an Assure MIMIX for AIX cluster

  • Assure MIMIX for AIX Replication Group managed by a Power HA cluster

The mounting and unmounting of the protected filesystems will be performed by Assure MIMIX for AIX, unless you plan to start replication in non-Disruptive Startup Mode. If so, refer to non-Disruptive Startup Mode.

The mount attribute in /etc/filesystems, for all filesystems configured in an Assure MIMIX for AIX Replication Group, needs to be set to mount = false. Use chfs to change the mount attribute.

Example: chfs -a mount=false /<protected filesystem name>

Note: If a file system is protected by Assure MIMIX for AIX and uses a jfslog or jfs2log, then that corresponding jfslog and jfs2log must also be protected.
