Description

The installed AOFO-L driver module is available at the following location: “/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/char”. The name of the driver file module is “symbdsnap.ko”.

To load the AOFO-L driver manually on the supported Linux platforms, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the AOFO-L driver module location and run the “insmod symbdsnap.ko” command.
   After the command runs, the RALUS AOFO-L driver is loaded and runs in the kernel.
2. Run backups on the Linux systems and check the job logs to ensure that the snapshot backups are running (on supported file system data).

The easiest way to ensure that the job is complete is to open the job log and check for the following statement: “The snapshot technology used by AOFO-L for volume : : Veritas Snapshot Provider for Linux version: ”

This statement means that the AOFO-L driver based backups are running properly on the machine.

Note: If the driver is already loaded, and you run the insmod command, you will get a kernel error. Do not try to load the driver if it is already loaded in the kernel.
