Solaris Containers and Zones

You can back up and restore data in both global and non-global zones.

For a list of supported components, see Unix Virtualization.

AIX LPAR/WPAR

Data protection on Logical Partitioning (LPAR) and Workload Partitioning (WPAR) is supported.

Miscellaneous

SeLinux

If you have SELinux enabled on the client computer, create the SELinux policy module as a root user before performing a backup. The SELinux Development package must be installed on the client.

To create an SELinux policy module, perform the following steps as user "root":

1. Create the following files in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory:

2. File Name	Content of the File
   <directory>/<file_name>.te where: <directory> is /usr/share/selinux/devel``<file_name> is the name of the UNIX file, created to save the policy module statement. It is a good idea to use the same name for policy module and the file. For example: When you are creating a policy module for backup_IDA application, you can use the following file name: backup_IDA.te	The content of the file should be as follows: policy_module(<name>,<version>) ############################## where: <name> is the name of the policy module. You can give any unique name to the policy module, such as a process or application name. <version> is the version of the policy module. It can be any number, such as 1.0.0. For Example: While creating a policy module for the backup_IDA application, you can use the following content. policy_module(backup_IDA,1.0.0)
   <directory>/<file_name>.fc where: <directory> is /usr/share/selinux/devel <file_name> is the name of the UNIX file, created to save the policy module statement. It is a good idea to use the same name for policy module and the file. For example: When you are creating a policy module for backup_IDA application, you can use the following file name: backup_IDA.fc	The content of the file should be as follows: Note that the following list of files is not exhaustive. If the process fails to launch, check /var/log/messages. Also, if required, add it to the following list of files. /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libCTreeWrapper.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libCVMAGuiImplgso -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2locale.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2osse.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libDb2Sbt.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2trcapi.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libDrDatabase.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libIndexing.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0) /opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libSnooper.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

3. Create the policy file from command line. Use the following command. Ensure that you give the following commands in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory.

   [root]# make backup_IDA.pp
   Compiling targeted backup_IDA module
   /usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from tmp/backup_IDA.tmp
   /usr/bin/checkmodule: policy configuration loaded
   /usr/bin/checkmodule: writing binary representation (version 6) to tmp/backup_IDA.mod
   Creating targeted backup_IDA.pp policy package
   rm tmp/backup_IDA.mod tmp/backup_IDA.mod.fc
   [root]# semodule -i backup_IDA.pp
   [root]#

4. Execute the policy module. Use the following command:

   [root]# restorecon -R /opt/<software installation directory>

SELinux is now configured to work with this application.
