About Nodefd in backup.def
Hi,
I want to ask about the Nodefd {} field in the file backup.def.
1. After installation, I use backup command to export one backup.def file. The Nodefd{} is as follows:
nodefd cnnms501 {
2. Then I delete the IP address in the Nodefd field as:
nodefd cnnms501 {
nodeAddrs = {
{
sourceType = domain
source.addr =
destination.addr =
}
}
mirrorInfo.address =
mirrorInfo.partner.nodeName =
}
3. Then I ran restore command, then the agent stopped.
4. After the agent was started, I backup the domain info again and found the backup.def was the same with the first one I backuped.
5. I learnt from the forum that the normal restore command won't let the agent restarted, so my question is: if I use the backup.def as described in 2, if there is some affect to the server?If this filed related with the NIC in this server? If I want not to let the agent restarted and not affect the function of AutoStart, could I delete the nofefd field?

Actually this info is not taken into account when importing the def file. During every startup agent will detect all available network interfaces and configure at least one for domain communication. Why would you want to remove this info?

I want to enable the rule just after backup the agent database through script.
But if the agent is restarted fter the backup operation, the rule can't be enabled at once.
Another question, if the system environment isn't consistent with the current backup.def, then after the restoration without restarting the agent, will the agent have some abnormal behavior?

Why would you restart an Agent after the backup? BTW domain is automatically backed up during each Agent startup into backup.def. Also as long as you have one agent active the rule will be kept active. Maybe you should explain exactly what you are trying to achive so we can offer some useful advice.
Regarding the other question, the network settings are not imported exactly for this reason, not to interfere with the actual network settings.
