This completes the first editing pass of the man pages. Very little content editing has been done, but the server and client versions of various man pages have been combined into a single man page for the file (affects CellServDB, ThisCell, NetInfo, and NetRestrict), the descriptions of the various AFS cache files have been combined into one afs_cache man page, and the descriptions of the two butc log files have been combined into one butc_logs man page. For man pages for databases with two files, symlinks are now created on installation for the secondary file name. All of the man pages should now be ready for public review, additional editing and cleanup, and content editing. (cherry picked from commit f64a78e7013ebafd9ce4a0a50822a6087ff62f6c)

|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<backup labeltape> command creates a magnetic label, readable by the
|
|
Backup System, at the beginning of a tape. The label records the tape's
|
|
name (either a I<permanent name>, or an I<AFS tape name> that reflects the
|
|
tape's contents in a prescribed format) and its capacity.
|
|
|
|
(If the C<FILE YES> instruction appears in the
|
|
F</usr/afs/backup/CFG_I<device_name>> file on the Tape Coordinator machine
|
|
associated with the specified port offset, then the B<backup> command
|
|
writes label information to the first 16 KB block in the backup data file
|
|
listed for that port offset in the Tape Coordinator's
|
|
F</usr/afs/backup/tapeconfig> file, rather than at the beginning of a
|
|
tape. For the sake of clarity, the following text refers to tapes only,
|
|
but the Backup System handles backup data files in much the same way.)
|
|
|
|
Relabeling a tape that already contains AFS backup data effectively makes
|
|
the data unusable, because the command removes the Backup Database record
|
|
of the complete dump set of which the tape is a part. Use this command to
|
|
enable recycling of a tape that contains unexpired dumps that are not
|
|
actually still needed.
|
|
|
|
To write a permanent name on the label, include the B<-pname> argument to
|
|
specify a string of up to 32 characters. The permanent name persists until
|
|
the B<-pname> argument is again included on the B<backup labeltape>
|
|
command, regardless of the tape's contents and of how often the tape is
|
|
otherwise relabeled or recycled. Include this argument or the B<-name>
|
|
argument, but not both. If this argument is included, the AFS tape name is
|
|
set to C<< <NULL> >>. The permanent name is set to C<< <NULL> >> if this
|
|
argument is omitted and no permanent name already exists.
|
|
|
|
The issuer must ensure that a permanent name is unique among the tapes
|
|
used for AFS backup in the cell, because the B<backup> command interpreter
|
|
does not verify that another tape does not already have the same permanent
|
|
name. When a tape has a permanent name, the Backup System uses it instead
|
|
of the AFS tape name in most prompts and when referring to the tape in
|
|
output from B<backup> commands. The permanent name appears in the C<tape
|
|
name> field of the output from the B<backup readlabel> command.
|
|
|
|
To write an AFS tape name on the label, provide a value for the B<-name>
|
|
argument in the required format described in L<OPTIONS>. Include the
|
|
B<-name> argument or the B<-pname> argument, but not both. If this
|
|
argument is omitted, the AFS tape name is set to C<< <NULL> >>, but the
|
|
Backup System automatically assigns the appropriate name when the tape is
|
|
used in a future B<backup dump> or B<backup savedb> operation. The AFS
|
|
tape name appears in the C<AFS tape name> field of the output from the
|
|
B<backup readlabel> and B<backup scantape> commands.
|
|
|
|
The backup command interpreter does not accept the B<-name> argument if
|
|
the tape already has a permanent name. To erase a tape's permanent name,
|
|
provide a null value to the B<-pname> argument by issuing the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
% backup labeltape -pname ""
|
|
|
|
To record the tape's capacity on the label, specify a number of kilobytes
|
|
as the B<-size> argument. If the argument is omitted the first time a tape
|
|
is labeled, the Backup System records the default tape capacity recorded
|
|
for the specified port offset in the F</usr/afs/backup/tapeconfig> file on
|
|
the Tape Coordinator machine. Subsequently, the value in the size field
|
|
persists until the B<-size> argument is again included on the B<backup
|
|
labeltape> command.
|
|
|
|
To determine how much data can be written to a tape during a backup dump
|
|
or B<backup savedb> operation, the Tape Coordinator reads the capacity
|
|
recorded on the tape's label (or uses the value associated with its port
|
|
offset in the F</usr/afs/backup/tapeconfig> file, if the tape was never
|
|
labeled). For further description, see the B<backup dump> reference page.
|
|
|
|
The Tape Coordinator's default response to this command is to access the
|
|
tape by invoking the C<MOUNT> instruction in the local
|
|
F</usr/afs/backup/CFG_I<device_name>> file, or by prompting the backup
|
|
operator to insert the tape if there is no C<MOUNT> instruction. However,
|
|
if the C<AUTOQUERY NO> instruction appears in the F<CFG_I<device_name>>
|
|
file, or if the issuer of the B<butc> command included the B<-noautoquery>
|
|
flag, the Tape Coordinator instead expects the tape to be in the device
|
|
already. If it is not, the Tape Coordinator invokes the C<MOUNT>
|
|
instruction or prompts the operator.

=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-name> <I<AFS tape name>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the AFS tape name to record on the label. Include this argument
|
|
or the B<-pname> argument, but not both. If this argument is omitted, the
|
|
AFS tape name is set to C<< <NULL> >>. If this argument is provided, it
|
|
must have the following format:
|
|
|
|
<volume_set_name>.<dump_level_name>.<tape_index>
|
|
|
|
for the tape to be acceptable for use in a future backup dump
|
|
operation. The <volume_set_name> must match the volume set name of the
|
|
initial dump to be written to the tape, <dump_level_name> must match the
|
|
last element of the dump level pathname at which the volume set will be
|
|
dumped, and <tape_index> indicates the order of the tape in the dump set
|
|
(indexing begins with C<1>). To disable this type of name checking,
|
|
include the C<NAME_CHECK NO> instruction in the F<CFG_I<device_name>>
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
For the tape to be acceptable for use in a future backup savedb operation,
|
|
the value specified for the B<-name> argument must have the following
|
|
format:
|
|
|
|
Ubik_db_dump.<tape_index>
|
|
|
|
where <tape_index> indicates the order of the tape in the set of tapes
|
|
that house the Backup Database dump; indexing begins with C<1> (one).
|
|
|
|
=item B<-size> <I<tape size>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the tape capacity to record on the label. Provide an integer
|
|
value followed by a letter that indicates units, with no intervening
|
|
space. A unit value of C<k> or C<K> indicates kilobytes, C<m> or C<M>
|
|
indicates megabytes, and C<g> or C<G> indicates gigabytes. If the units
|
|
letter is omitted, the default is kilobytes.
|
|
|
|
If this argument is omitted the first time a tape is labeled, the Backup
|
|
System records the capacity that is associated with the specified port
|
|
offset in the F</usr/afs/backup/tapeconfig> file on the Tape Coordinator
|
|
machine. The value recorded the first time then persists until the
|
|
B<-size> argument is provided on a future issuance of the command.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-portoffset> <I<TC port offset>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the port offset number of the Tape Coordinator handling the tape
|
|
for this operation.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-pname> <I<permanent tape name>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the permanent name to record on the label. It can be up to 32
|
|
characters in length, and include any alphanumeric characters. Avoid
|
|
metacharacters that have a special meaning to the shell, to avoid having
|
|
to mark them as literal in commands issued at the shell prompt.
|
|
|
|
Include this argument or the B<-name> argument, but not both. If this
|
|
argument is provided, the AFS tape name is set to C<< <NULL> >>. If this
|
|
argument is omitted, any existing permanent name is retained.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-localauth>
|
|
|
|
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
|
|
F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command interpreter presents
|
|
it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
|
|
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For
|
|
more details, see L<backup(8)>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
|
|
|
|
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
|
|
with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<backup(8)>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
|
|
ignored.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following command records the AFS tape name C<user.monthly.1> on the
|
|
label of the tape in the device with port offset 3:
|
|
|
|
% backup labeltape -name user.monthly.1 -portoffset 3
|
|
|
|
The following three commands are equivalent in effect: they all record a
|
|
capacity of 2 GB on the label of the tape in the device with port offset
|
|
4. They set the AFS tape name to C<< <NULL> >> and leave the permanent
|
|
name unchanged.
|
|
|
|
% backup labeltape -size 2g -portoffset 4
|
|
% backup labeltape -size 2048M -portoffset 4
|
|
% backup labeltape -size 2097152 -portoffset 4
|
|
|
|
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on every
|
|
machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a
|
|
server machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
|
|
included.
