Migrating from ontape to ON-Bar (IDS)

You cannot back up data with ontape and restore it using ON–Bar, or conversely because the data storage formats and backup capabilities are different. You can use ontape with the database server in online or quiescent mode.

To migrate to ON-Bar
  1. Use ontape to perform a full backup.

    For details, see Backing Up with ontape.

  2. Take the backup media offline to prevent possible reuse or erasure.
  3. Configure the storage manager to be used with ON–Bar.

    For details, see Configuring the Storage Manager and ON-Bar.

  4. Configure your ON–Bar environment:
    1. Set ONCONFIG parameters.
    2. Create the sm_versions file with the storage-manager definition.

      For details, see Setting ON-Bar Configuration Parameters, and Updating the sm_versions File.

  5. Use ON–Bar (onbar -b or onbar -b -w) to perform a full backup.
  6. Verify the backup with onbar -v.

    For details, see Verifying Backups.
