Database backup file names are based on the date and time the backup is created. For example, database
backup number 4 is stored in the /var/hpls.local/hplsdb_20041006-1544.tar.gz file. Copy
the backup file to another system, as shown in the following example, where database backup number 4 is
copied to the 16.123.123.100 system and fred is an account on that system:
# scp /var/hpls.local/hplsdb_20041006-1544.tar.gz /
fred@16.123.123.100/home/fred
Proceed to Section 8.3.6 to back up the license file.
8.3.6 Step 6: Backing up the license file
If the /var/flexlm/license.master file is present on the system, copy the file to the /var/hpls file
system as follows:
# cp /var/flexlm/* /var/hpls
Proceed to Section 8.3.7 to shut down the servers.
8.3.7 Step 7: Shutting down all servers
Shut down all of the servers, as follows:
1. Enter the command shown in the following example. You are prompted to confirm that you want to
shut down the servers; enter yes to confirm:
sfs> shutdown server south[1-4]
Are you sure you wish to shutdown the server(s) "south[1-4]"? [no]: yes
The command shuts down the servers as follows:
• The Object Storage Servers are shut down and the power to the servers is turned off.
• The MDS server is shut down and the power to the server is turned off.
• The administration server is shut down but the power to the server is not turned off.
2. Turn off the power to the administration server manually.
When all of the servers have shut down, and you have turned off the power to the administration server,
proceed to Section 8.3.8 to install the system software on the administration server.
