A restore is the process of restoring the volumes on a machine from recovery points. For a server cluster, you perform a restore at the node, or machine, level. This section provides guidelines for performing a restore for cluster volumes.
Performing a restore for CCR and DAG (Exchange) clusters
Complete the steps in this procedure to perform a restore for CCR and DAG (Exchange) clusters.
- Turn off all nodes except one.
- Perform a restore using the standard Rapid Recovery procedure for the machine as described in About restoring volumes from a recovery point and Restoring volumes for a Linux machine using the command line.
- When the restore is finished, mount all databases for the cluster volumes.
- Turn on all other nodes.
- For Exchange, navigate to the Exchange Management Console, and, for each database, perform the Update Database Copy operation.
Performing a restore for SCC (Exchange, SQL) clusters
Complete the steps in this procedure to perform a restore for SCC (Exchange, SQL) clusters.
- Turn off all nodes except one.
- Perform a restore using the standard Rapid Recovery procedure for the machine as described in About restoring volumes from a recovery point and Restoring volumes for a Linux machine using the command line.
- After the restore is finished, mount all databases from the cluster volumes.
- Turn on all other nodes one-by-one.
NOTE: You do not need to roll back the quorum disk. It can be regenerated automatically or by using cluster service functionality.
