Experts,
what will be the result if /stand/vpdb is deleted.

it's stored on each vPar and synced between them.

So you should have enough working backups.

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for the immediate reply.
I understood this. I will be much thankful if you could clarify the below query.

If I donâ t have vpdb back and by mistake somebody delete this file then what will be the result.

The same file is stored on each running vPar.

I assume it will be synced from a copy even if you delete it.

if there are multiple partitions then the OS of each partition also keeps a copy of the database file (/stand/vpdb) on its local boot disk.
you can boot a partition from an alternate database file too. but for that you should have other partitions running. the alternate file should reside in /stand when the server boots because the vPars Monitor can only traverse HFS file systems of the boot disk.

if you have only one partition and you lost the database file and rebooted the server, then you will lose your configuration.
