Our engineers recommend that you back up to tape the data in the signonCount.out 
and signonCount.fixrpt files, as well as the data in the dhctStatus2 directory. You can 
then use this data as a reference and troubleshooting tool in the event that there are 
problems with the system after the upgrade. The instructions in this section guide 
you through the steps of backing up these files. 

 

Follow these instructions to back up the signonCount.out and signonCount.fixrpt 
files, as well as the data in the dhctStatus2 directory. 
1  Label a tape with the date and the following title: 

signonCount / dhctStatus2 Backups 

2  Insert the tape into the tape drive of the DNCS. 
3  From an xterm window on the DNCS, type  

tar  cvf  [device name]  /dvs/dncs/tmp/signonCount.out  
/dvs/dncs/tmp/signonCount.fixrpt  /dvs/dncs/tmp/dhctStatus2 and then press 
Enter. The system backs up the specified files. 
Note:  Substitute the device name of the DNCS tape drive for [device name]. 
Example:  tar  cvf  /dev/rmt/0h  /dvs/dncs/tmp/signonCount.out  
/dvs/dncs/tmp/signonCount.fixrpt  /dvs/dncs/tmp/dhctStatus2 

4  When the backup is complete, eject the tape and store it in a safe place.
