Outcomes of the Tape Backup Reconfiguration Scenarios

Here are the various outcomes if you use the cfgadm command to remove a tape device without the RCM script.

  • If you use the cfgadm command and the backup application is not using the tape device, the operation succeeds.

  • If you use the cfgadm command and the backup application is using the tape device, the operation fails.

Here are the various outcomes if you use the cfgadm command to remove a tape device with the RCM script.

  • If you use the cfgadm command and the backup application is not using the tape device, the operation succeeds.

  • If you use the cfgadm command without the -f option and the backup application is using the tape device, the operation fails with an error message similar to the following:

    tape backup in progress pid=...
  • If you use the cfgadm -f command and the backup application is using the tape device, the script stops the backup application and the cfgadm operation succeeds.

Example--Tape Backup RCM Script

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
   #
   # A sample site customization RCM script.
   #
   # When RCM_ENV_FORCE is FALSE this script indicates to RCM that it cannot
   # release the tape drive when the tape drive is being used for backup.
   #
   # When RCM_ENV_FORCE is TRUE this script allows DR removing a tape drive
   # when the tape drive is being used for backup by killing the tape
   # backup application.
