You must establish a mount point for each Teradata Database node that functions as an Appliance Backup Utility client.
The following steps must be performed on each node.
- Provide an external disk storage device mount point.
-
Create a directory in /var/abu_storage.
This directory will be used as the mount point of the external storage device.
# mkdir -p /var/abu_storage/<mount point directory>In the following example, bsrv25_abu_book4 is the mount point directory.
# mkdir -p /var/abu_storage/bsrv25_abu_book4
- Change the var/abu_storage/<mount point directory> owner to abuservice. # chown -R abuservice /var/abu_storage/<mount point directory>
-
Mount the partition on the mount point directory.
# mount <device partition 1> /var/abu_storage/<mount point directory>
In the following example, /dev/sdam1 is device partition 1.
# mount /dev/sdam1 /var/abu_storage/bsrv25_abu_book4
-
Make the iSCSI target login automatic for reboots.
# iscsiadm - m node -T <target name> -p <target IP address and TCP port> --op update -n node.startup -v automatic
In the following example:
- iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:bsrv25-abu2850gbtarget is the target name
- 192.168.15.51:3260 is the target IP address and TCP port
# iscsiadm - m node -T iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:bsrv25-abu2850gb-target -p 192.168.15.51:3260 --op update -n node.startup -v automatic
- Enable the rc startup script to make the configuration persistent after reboots. # chkconfig --add open-iscsi
