Finalizing and submitting the job for a restore with a DR image with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

1
To save the settings, click Ok, and then click Next.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. A maximum of 40 characters is recommended.
3
In the Target Client list, select the NetVault Backup Server from the list of displayed machines to set it as the intended target.
* 
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
Restores must be routed through the NetVault Backup Server to use the necessary components installed there. The setting in this list works in tandem with the value revealed in the Client Hostname field to route the restore properly.
4
Use the Schedule and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
5
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
* 
NOTE: On completion of this process, the job is added to the NetVault Backup job queue; however, unlike a traditional NetVault Backup restore job, it does not begin running. The steps covered in Booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the appropriate OS and drivers for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux must be successfully performed before the job begins.

If you attempt a second restore after processing a restore that failed, the second restore might stop responding (hang) when it begins creating the logical volume. If this issue occurs, blank the target disk and run the restore process again.

Booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the appropriate OS and drivers for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

The following topics detail the procedures to be used to boot a target Linux® Client machine to recover a DR image backup.

Prerequisites for booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

Ensure the following have taken place before attempting to boot the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client:

•
Bootable CD created: A Plug-in Live Client Boot CD must have been previously created for the target Linux® Client, using the procedures outlined in Creating the required bootable CD for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.
•
CD drive set as primary boot source on target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client: The Linux machine serving as the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client must have its CD drive — if connected through a USB port, it must use USB 3.0 protocol or earlier — set up as the primary boot source to have the machine boot from CD, for example, by accessing the system’s BIOS application and setting the Drive as the primary boot source.
•
NetVault Backup Server and Client information gathered: After booting the target Linux Client with the created boot CD, configure the machine using various information, including the following:
•
NetVault Backup Server IP Address
•
Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client IP Address
•
Gateway Address, if applicable
•
Subnet Mask
•
Communication port free for use: Verify that the communication port is available and accessible to the Plug-in Live Client for Linux. If the default port 10666 is not available, reconfigure the communication port before proceeding. For details on reconfiguring the port, see Reconfiguring the communication port for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux (optional). If default port 10666 is available, skip to Boot procedure for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.
* 
NOTE: In most circumstances, the 10666 port is available for use. Circumstances under which it is not available include if a system administrator had assigned it for use to a different application or if you have a firewall set up on a different port.

Reconfiguring the communication port for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux (optional)

The Plug-in Live Client for Linux® listens on port 10666 by default. If you have a firewall configured, you may need to change the communication port to perform a recovery; for example, you want use port 12345 instead. Perform the following steps:

1
Open the firewall for port 12345.
This step allows communication between the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client and the NetVault Backup Server to be restored.
2
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI on the Plug-in Server, click Create Restore Job.
3
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select the applicable saveset, and click Next.
4
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options.
5
In the Restore Server Port field, enter 12345.
After setting the port number on the Plug-in Server, update it on the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client as well.
6
To save the settings, click Ok.
7
Boot from the CD; described in Boot procedure for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.
8
After the System Installation for Linux application starts and the SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE menu is displayed, select System Recovery Utility, and press Enter.
9
To open a maintenance shell prompt, select Start a Maintenance Shell, and press Enter.
10
From the maintenance shell, run the following commands:
maint> echo "ServerPort=12345" > /tmp/nvdrx.cfg
maint> exit
11
Proceed with the boot procedure described in Boot procedure for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.
