After you issue the dbpause, drop to aix as root and do a few sync commands, thusly:
# sync <cr> # sync <cr> # sync <cr> I usually give it a few seconds in between issuing the commands, but when I script it, it's "sync; sync; sync", so there's probably no reason to wait in between. This flushes all pending writes to persistent memory (for our purposes, disk). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Louie Bergsagel Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 3:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] copying files in Unix from one IBM AIX computer to another IBM AIX computer I'm trying to copy UniVerse files (all types) from one computer to another using an NFS mount and the Unix cp command, but am getting damaged files because they are in use. They are large files, between 4 and 22 gigs, some hashed, some dynamic, some directories. I tried to suspend UniVerse and then copy one file or directory, then unsuspend, but that hasn't helped. I am wondering if I need to pause a minute or so between the suspend (uv -admin -L) and the copy? In other words, is suspend immediate, or does it finish all the current writes and then pause? -- Louie in Seattle ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
