Crontab Entries for mksysb AIX
I have assigned list of servers to each of you. Please check your assigned servers running mksysb weekly job. Check and give me the status. If job is not running we can create ECM to add this job.
1. Check and see VIO file set installed on the server.
a. lslpp -L |grep ios.cli.rt
2. Check for mksysb backup job, you can use suexec command to check this, no need to go thru breakglass.
E.g:
a.
$/opt/boksm/bin/suexec /usr/bin/cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root |grep MKSYSB.sh
01 01 * * 0 /usr/local/bin/MKSYSB.sh > /opt/mksysb_dir/MKSYSB.log 2>&1 <- we should see this line
b. If you see the above line looks at the log file for backup status
/opt/boksm/bin/suexec /usr/bin/cat /opt/mksysb_dir/MKSYSB.log |more
c. check /mksyb_dir or /opt/mksysb_dir for mksysb backup file.
$/opt/boksm/bin/suexec /usr/bin/ls -ltr /opt/mksysb_dir
