Recovering a DR image for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

The steps required to recover a DR image performed with the Plug-in Live Client for Linux® vary based on how the data was originally managed during backup. The following topics cover the processes required to complete each of these steps.

* 
IMPORTANT: Plug-in Live Client for Linux version 4.0 cannot be used to restore data that was backed up using a previous version of the Plug-in Live Client. To recover pre-4.0 data, use the same version of the Plug-in Live Client for Linux that was used to back it up.

The Plug-in Live Client for Linux can only process one restore at a time.

The recovery process modifies some of the files. Original copies of the modified files are stored in: /storix/temp/storix_install

Restoring data using a DR image with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

As noted in the previous topic, you must first set up a recovery job for a Linux® NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client from the NetVault Backup WebUI on the NetVault Backup Server. You must also start this job before you try to boot the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the created CD.

Selecting data for a restore with a DR image with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI on the NetVault Backup Server, click Create Restore Job.
2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug-in Live Client for Linux from the Plugin Type list.
3
To filter the items displayed in the saveset table further, use the Client, Date, and Job ID lists.
The table displays the saveset name (job title and saveset ID), creation date and time, and size. By default, the list is sorted alphabetically by saveset name.
4
In the saveset table, locate the NetVault Backup Client that was configured as the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client in question, and select the applicable backup saveset — identified by its title, which is the name given to the DR image in the Job Name field at the time of backup.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, Archive or not, saveset size, and snapshot-based backup or not.
5
When the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is displayed in the tree, select the entire DR image.
Although you can double-click it to reveal its individual contents, all data items must be selected for the restore to work correctly. The browse functionality is only intended to allow you to view the contents of the backup saveset — not select individual items for the recovery.
* 
NOTE: If a disk is comprised of four primary partitions, the fourth partition is automatically converted to an extended logical partition during the recovery. Having a fourth primary partition inhibits the ability to add more partitions to the disk later. By converting the fourth partition to a logical one, you can use additional space on a hard disk to create future partitions, for example, if the recovery is being performed to disk that is larger than the original. There is no data loss associated with this behavior. You are alerted to this fact during the boot routine in a dialog box of the System Installation for Linux; for details on this process, see Booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the appropriate OS and drivers for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.

Click Next.

Setting restore options for a DR image with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options to reveal the following fields:

•

•
Restore Server Port: This field lets you choose the port for incoming connections on the server. Usually, the default port of 10666 is available. Follow the procedure under Reconfiguring the communication port for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux (optional) if a different port is required.
