NetVault Bare Metal Recovery 13.1.1 - User Guide for NetVault Server

Importing the indexes to the NetVault Database

The next step is to select the dedicated DR target media for your recovery and import the indexes to the NetVault Database.

1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault WebUI, open the Manage Devices page.
2
On the Manage Devices page, click the Manage Device icon for the drive or slot that contains the media that was used during backup, for example, BMRMedia, and is now marked “FOREIGN.”
3
On the Tape Drive Management page, click Scan.
NetVault imports backup indexes stored on the FOREIGN media to the NetVault Database.

Verifying access and availability of disks for restore

The next step is to verify access and disk availability of the new or target NetVault Server.

1
From the NetVault WebUI, open the NetVault Selections page.
2
Double-click the NetVault Server node.
3
Double-click the Plug-in Server, labeled “VaultDR APM,” to open it.
4
When the “self” node is displayed, double-click it to display all disk device information for this NetVault Server.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If there is no disk available, the recovery process cannot continue.

Recovering the source NetVault Server

The final step in the recovery process is to restore the offline backup of the original NetVault Server to the new or target NetVault Server. To recover the server, complete steps outlined in the following topics.

•
Prerequisites for recovery
•
Selecting data for a restore
•
Setting restore options
•
Finalizing and submitting the restore job
 
* 
CAUTION: Even if there is no difference between the system devices in a backup and a restore, the order of the disks might be different. If the restored data is started without performing a rename, any data that exists on the disks is lost. To compare the information of the physical disk at backup and restore, note the Disk Geometry and Device Size at backup.

For version 1.1.6 and later, also compare the Disk ID of the targeted disk on the Create Selection Set page to the Disk ID of the same disk on the NetVault Selections page.

Quest strongly recommends that you disconnect all disks that contain critical data from the server before you boot NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Server.

Prerequisites for recovery

A DR restore procedure is a delicate operation. Before setting up and running a DR restore, ensure that the following prerequisites have been met:

•
Ensure that device filenames match: The target device name on the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, for example, Disk 0 (IDE), must be the same as it was at the time of backup.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: When relocating a DR backup, ensure that the hard disk installed on the new relocation target has the same name as the hard disk that existed in the original target.
•
Gather noted Device Size and Disk Geometry information: This information should have been noted before the backup. Have this information handy to complete the restore properly.
