FileServ database maintenance is part of routine system
processing. FileServ uses a RAIMA database to store and track
information about the files under FileServ. The RAIMA
database is embedded within FileServ and automatically starts
when FileServ starts.
Periodic database maintenance is required to prevent data loss,
improve FileServ software performance, and simplify recovery
procedures if needed.
The following three utilities should be run on a periodic basis:
• $FS_HOME/internal/chk_point/chk_point.pl
• $FS_HOME/util/checkDBALL
• $FS_HOME/util/keyBuildAll
chk_point.pl The
$FS_HOME/internal/chk_point/chk_point.pl
script checkpoints the RAIMA database (database recovery is
faster and more reliable when regular checkpoints are taken).
Checkpointing of the database is not automatically established
during FileServ installation. Therefore, checkpointing must be
placedinthecrontab file by the system administrator and
executed according to parameters of
crontab.
Also, checkpointing cannot be accomplished without having
Perl installed. Checkpointing should be done during low usage
times.
Since checkpointing is a snapshot of the RAIMA database,
taking regular checkpoints makes recovery of the database
faster and more reliable.
