Defining a computer running Linux or the UNIX system as a backup registry host

About this task

Use the following procedure to define a computer running Linux or the UNIX system as a backup registry host.
  1. Log on to the host. You must log on as root to have privileges to stop or start HCL VersionVault, or to create directories and files in the /var partition of most hosts.
  2. Stop HCL VersionVault.
  3. Edit the file /var/adm/hcl/versionvault/config/rgy_hosts.conf. The first line of this file is the name of the host’s registry server. Add a second line that is the host name of the host itself.
  4. Restart HCL VersionVault.

Results

The host becomes a backup registry host and begins running rgy_backup to back up the registry data on the primary registry host specified in the first line of the file /var/adm/hcl/versionvault/config/rgy_hosts.conf.
