Finalizing and submitting a restore with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

Finalizing and submitting a restore 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 Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

1
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.
2
In the Target Client list, select the NetVault Server as the target for the restore.
 
* 
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
3
Leave all other options available on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists at their default settings.
4
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.
The file is recovered to …/tmp directory on the NetVault Server, where … represents the NetVault installation directory.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Recovery of the Boot Image information, regardless of the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client it was performed from, creates a CD-creation file entitled “linuxboot.iso” in the …/tmp directory. If Boot Image information is recovered from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using these steps, its “linuxboot.iso” file is restored and overwrites any file of the same name in this directory without warning. Therefore, Quest recommends that you complete this process for a single Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, before you try to recover backed-up Boot Image information from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
5
Insert a blank, writable CD into a CD writer that is accessible to the NetVault Server.
6
Start the CD-generation software, access the “linuxboot.iso” file that resides in the directory named in Step 1, and create the CD using the necessary utilities within the CD-generation software.
 
* 
NOTE: As CD-generation software varies, no instruction is given here on how to start or administer its use. For complete instructions on generating a CD using an “.iso” CD creation file, see the relevant software’s documentation.
7
With the CD completed, remove it from the drive, and label it appropriately.
For example, assign a label corresponding to something specific about the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, such as its OS-assigned name.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Provided the hardware configuration in the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client does not change, this CD can be saved for future use in booting the client for the recovery of future DR images recorded with this plug-in. However, if new networking hardware is implemented or the device driver files in the client machine change any time, the Boot Image data for the client must be backed up again and this procedure must be repeated to create a CD.

The Boot CD is unable to load devices for which proper driver files are not incorporated in the Boot Image backup. Quest recommends that you test the boot media on the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for successful loading of all the devices during boot up process.

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

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

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 WebUI on the NetVault 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

Selecting data for a restore with a DR image with Plug-in Live Client for Linux
1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault WebUI on the NetVault 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 by creation date.
4
In the saveset table, locate the NetVault 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.
