cdmtArchive -- generate custom-installable archives from the $CDMT_DIR/sso hierarchy

Syntax

cdmtArchive [-f] [-config filename] [-media media_type] [-copy]

Description

cdmtArchive generates custom-installable archives from the $CDMT_DIR/sso hierarchy.

By default, cdmtArchive reads the $CDMT_DIR/cdmt.config file, if it exists, for additional configuration information. See cdmt.config(CDMT).

By default, cdmtArchive places archives in the $CDMT_DIR/archives/TAPE directory. You can then copy the archives to a single volume of tape media or install them directly, using custom. cdmtArchive generates the following output in the $CDMT_DIR/archives/TAPE directory:

VOL.volumeIndex.archiveIndex: a cpio archive, where volumeIndex is the physical media volume to copy the archive media and archiveIndex is the archive number
VOL.volumeIndex.archiveIndex.files: a file consisting of a list of the files in each archive, used to generate the actual archive
VOL.volumeIndex.archiveIndex.sum: a file containing the sum of the archive, generated using the sum -lr command

cdmtArchive accepts the following options:

-f: Do not prompt user when removing previous files and directories.
-config filename: Read the specified configuration filename, instead of the default $CDMT_DIR/cdmt.config file.
-copy: Copy the archives to tape. Use this option only after previously invoking cdmtArchive to actually create the archives.
-f copy: Same as the -copy option, except do not prompt for tape insertion. Use this option for unattended invocations of cdmtArchive.
-media media_type: Specify the media type to which to copy archive, where media_type is TAPE, CD, or FLOPPY.

Exit values

If execution was successful, cdmtArchive exits with a value of 0. If execution failed, cdmtArchive exits with a non-zero number.
