The Unitrends OES agent installer provides an option to configure GroupWise paths. These configured paths are excluded during any master restore to avoid corruption of the GroupWise database. These paths should be updated whenever the GroupWise location changes. See To update GroupWise paths. The GroupWise database consists of at least one domain and one post office. Make sure that you have a separate path for every post office and domain.
For example, during the GroupWise system creation a user has defined:
• The domain as \gwdom\
• Post office as \gwpoa\
The master.ini on the OES system will have the following entries (there may be multiple GroupWise database paths):
GW_DB_PATH1=\gwdom\
GW_DB_PATH2=\gwpoa\
TSA-based Novell OES Linux clients support live backups of your GroupWise database. A live backup (i.e. without stopping and restarting GroupWise). To ensure a consistent state, the underlying TSAFS must be loaded with the GroupWise flag set to True.
Update GroupWise paths when a location changes or if there are new databases.
1 Run the command:
\usr\bp\bin\bpinstl
This will walk you through the installation process.
2 When you are asked to configure database paths, enter the location of all GroupWise databases.
The paths should be in following format:
\<mount point>\<directory-name>\<sub-directory1>\
1 Run the following two commands:
• \opt\novell\sms\bin\smsconfig -u tsafs
• \opt\novell\sms\bin\smsconfig -l tsafs --tsaMode=Linux --EnableGW
2 To verify that the correct options have been loaded, run the following command:
\opt\novell\sms\bin\smsconfig -t
3 To set the GroupWise enabling flag automatically each time the system boots, edit the file \etc\opt\novell\sms\smdrd.conf. Make sure there is an entry that reads:
autoload:tsafs --EnableGW
4 The default entry for the tsafs line in the file reads autoload:tsafs.
