Rapid Recovery 6.8 - User Guide

Complete the steps in this procedure to dismount recovery points that are mounted on the Core.

NOTE: When dismounting a recovery point mounted remotely, the action is referred to as disconnecting.

In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, from the icon bar, click (More) and then select Mounts.
The Mounts page appears. There is a pane for Local Mounts (recovery points mounted from the Core) and another for Remote Mounts (recovery points mounted using the Local Mount Utility). In each pane, the respective mounted recovery points appears in a list.
To dismount local mounts, in the Local Mounts pane, do the following:
1. Select the local mount point or points you want to dismount.
  - To dismount all recovery points, click the check box in the title bar of the Local Mounts table. All mounts are selected.
  - To dismount one or more recovery points, click the check box in the first column of each row representing the mount point you want to disconnect.
2. Click Dismount.
  A confirmation dialog box appears.
3. Confirm that you want to dismount the selected recover points.
  The local recovery points dismount.
  
  NOTE: If toast alerts are enabled, you may see a message that the appropriate mount points are being dismounted.
To disconnect recovery points mounted remotely, in the Remote Mounts pane, do the following:
1. Select the remote mount point or points you want to disconnect.
  - To disconnect all recovery points, click the check box in the title bar of the Remote Mounts table to select all mount points.
  - To disconnect one or more recovery points, click the check box in the first column of each row representing the mount point you want to disconnect.
2. Click Disconnect.
  A confirmation dialog box appears.
3. Confirm that you want to disconnect the selected recover points.
  The local recovery points disconnected.
  
  NOTE: If toast alerts are enabled, you may see a message that the appropriate mount points are being dismounted.
Confirm that the previously mounted recovery points no longer appear in the Local Mounts or Remote Mounts list, as appropriate.

Working with Linux recovery points

Mounting a recovery point volume on a Linux machine

Using the local_mount utility in Rapid Recovery, you can remotely mount a volume from a recovery point as a local volume on a Linux machine.

NOTE: When performing this procedure, do not attempt to mount recovery points to the /tmp folder, which contains the rapidrecovery-vdisk files.

Create a new directory for mounting the recovery point (for example, you can use the mkdir command).
Verify the directory exists (for example, by using the ls command).
Run the Rapid Recovery local_mount utility as root, or as the super user, for example:
```
	sudo local_mount
```
At the Rapid Recovery mount prompt, enter the following command to list the protected machines.
```
	lm
```
When prompted, enter the IP address or hostname of your Rapid Recovery Core server.
Enter the logon credentials for the Core server, that is, the user name and password.

A list of the machines that are protected by the Rapid Recovery server displays. Each machine is identified by the following: line item number, host/IP address, and an ID number for the machine.

For example: 7d658e5f-fa08-4600-95f0-5f486bc1b6a4#de0896fd-571a-4cc5-aeed-264d2c3c72f4#f377e145-dd4d-3ac3-5b15-37ce8f4913ba
Enter the following command to list the recovery points that are available for a specified machine:
```
	lr <line_number_of_machine>
```
NOTE: You can also enter the machine ID number in this command instead of the line item number.

A list of the base and incremental recovery points for the machine appears. The list includes the line item number, date and timestamp, location of volume, size of recovery point, and an ID number for the volume, which includes a sequence number at the end to identify the recovery point.

For example, 7d658e5f-fa08-4600-95f0-5f486bc1b6a4#de0896fd-571a-4cc5-aeed-264d2c3c72f4#f377e145-dd4d-3ac3-5b15-37ce8f4913ba:2

Enter the following command to select and mount the specified recovery point at the specified mount point/path.

	m <volume_recovery_point_ID_number> <volume-letter> [flag] <path>

The flag in the command determines how to mount the recovery point. You can use one of the following options:

[r] - mount read-only (default). This flag lets you mount a recovery point but does not let you make changes to it.

[w] - mount writable. This flag lets you mount the recovery point and lets you make changes.

[v] - mount with previous writes. Mounting with the “v” flag lets you mount the recovery point and include any changes that were made during the previous writable mount but are not present in the recovery point.

[n] - do not mount nbd to <path>. A nbd (network block device) makes a socket connection between the Core and the protected machine when you perform a local mount. This flag lets you mount the recovery point without mounting the nbd, which is useful if you want to manually check the file system of the recovery point.

NOTE: You can also specify a line number in the command instead of the recovery point ID number to identify the recovery point. In that case, you would use the machine line number (from the lm output), followed by the recovery point line number and volume letter, followed by the path, such as, m <machine_line_number> <recovery_point_line_number> <volume_letter> <path>. For example, if the lm output lists three protected machines, and you enter the lr command for number 2 and you mount the twenty-third recovery point volume b to /tmp/mount_dir, then the command would be: m 2 23 b /tmp/mount_dir.

NOTE: If you are mounting a BTRFS volume from a compatible operating system (see the "Rapid Recovery release operating system installation and compatibility matrix" topic in the Rapid Recovery System Requirements Guide), then you must include the following parameter:

	mount -o nodatasum,device=/dev/xxx /dev/xxx /mnt/yyy

To verify that the mount was successful, enter the following command, which should list the attached remote volume:
```
	l
```

Unmounting a recovery point on a Linux machine

Complete the steps in this procedure to unmount a recovery point on a Linux machine.

Run the Rapid Recovery local_mount utility as root, or as the super user, for example:
```
		sudo local_mount
```
At the Rapid Recovery mount prompt, enter the following command to list the protected machines.
```
		lm
```
When prompted, enter the IP address or hostname of your Rapid Recovery Core Core server.
Enter the logon credentials (user name and password) for the Core server.

A list of the machines that are protected by the Rapid Recovery Core server displays.
Enter the following command to list the recovery points that are available for a specified machine:
```
		lr <line_number_of_machine>
```
Note: Note that you can also enter the machine ID number in this command instead of the line item number.

A list of the base and incremental recovery points for the machine will display and includes. The list includes the line item number, date and timestamp, location of volume, size of recovery point, and an ID number for the volume that includes a sequence number at the end, which identifies the recovery point.

For example: 7d658e5f-fa08-4600-95f0-5f486bc1b6a4#de0896fd-571a-4cc5-aeed-264d2c3c72f4#f377e145-dd4d-3ac3-5b15-37ce8f4913ba:2
Run the l or list command to obtain a list of mounted Network Block Device (NBD)-devices. If you mount any recovery point, you will get a path to NBD-device after executing the l or list command.
Enter the following command to unmount a recovery point.
```
 unmount <path_of_nbd-device>
```
Run the l or list command to verify that the unmount of the recovery point was successful.
