Description:
Error configuring client for restore with “VaultDR online for Linux” plugin
Symptom:
Following error appears when configuring Network with “VaultDR online for Linux” for restore if NetVault module is installed on non-default path (i.e, other than /usr/netvault directory).
| There was an error configuring network:
| /opt/storix/bin/stexec: Line 62:
| /software/netvault/bin/BBstartrest: No such file or directory
| Cannot start NetVault server process.
| Command is: /software/netvault/bin/BBstartrest
|
| Do you wish to make further changes? (y/n)
There are two ways to solve/workaround this problem.
Resolution1: Re-install NetVault client module with default installation path.
1. Un-installing existing NetVault module (including its home directory), install client
with default installation path.
2. Install “VaultDR Online for Linux” plugin.
3. Generate OS boot image.
4. Create bootable CD-ROM based on the image (created with above step 3).
Resolution2: Edit [bootlist_initrd] file on the target client machine.
1. Add following lines in “/opt/storix/config/bootlist_initrd” file. (NOTE: $NV_HOME is where NetVault is installed.
FIL:i:$NV_HOME/bin/BBstartrest
FIL:i:$NV_HOME/bin/BBrunrest
FIL:i:$NV_HOME/bin/BBstoprest
For example, if NetVault is installed on [/Software/netvault] directory,
------------------ Example of modified “bootlist_initrd” file -----------------------
:
# Other files (config scripts, etc) – must have full path.
# If no files on the line exist, they will be ignored.
FIL:i:/etc/ld.so.conf
FIL:i:/lib/modules/RELEASE/modules.dep
FIL:i:/etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modules.conf /etc/conf.modules
FIL:i:/etc/modules.conf.local:SuSe 8.x
FIL:iC:/opt/storix/config/device_info
FIL:iD:/etc/fstab
FIL:iR:/etc/raidtab
FIL:i:$NV_HOME/bin/BBstartrest (<- newly added line)
FIL:i:$NV_HOME/bin/BBrunrest (<- newly added line)
FIL:i:$NV_HOME/bin/BBstoprest ( [System Recovery Utility] ->
[Start a Maintenance Shell]
3. Check if correct commands are in the correct NetVault path.
maint> ls /Software/netvault/bin
BBrunrest BBstartrest BBstoprest
