Backup and restore configuration parameters

These topics describe the configuration parameters that you use with the ON-Bar, ontape, and archecker utilities.

You set most of these configuration parameters in the onconfig file. However, you set some of the archecker configuration parameters in the AC_CONFIG file.

Be sure to configure your storage manager. Depending on the storage manager that you choose, you might set different ON-Bar configuration parameters. If you are using a third-party storage manager, see Configuring a third-party storage manager, before you start ON-Bar.

The following table describes the following attributes (if relevant) for each parameter.
Attribute Description
ac_config.std value For archecker configuration variables. The default value that appears in the ac_config.std file.
onconfig.std value For onconfig configuration variables. The default value that appears in the onconfig.std file.
if value not present The value that the database server supplies if the parameter is missing from your onconfig file.

If this value is present in onconfig.std, the database server uses the onconfig.std value. If this value is not present in onconfig.std, the database server uses this value.

units The units in which the parameter is expressed
range of values The valid values for this parameter
takes effect The time at which a change to the value of the parameter affects ON-Bar operation.

Except where indicated, you can change the parameter value between a backup and a restore.
