Reinstalling: an overview

In a standard NetVault SmartDisk installation, the NetVault SmartDisk software binaries are installed on a volume that is separate from the NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pools. Reinstalling the NetVault SmartDisk software binaries is required in one of the following scenarios:

•
NetVault SmartDisk is inoperable because a media failure occurred on the volume where the NetVault SmartDisk software binaries are installed.
•
The OS of the machine where the NetVault SmartDisk Instance is running has become corrupted.
•
NetVault SmartDisk was removed from a Windows or Solaris machine. During the uninstall, the software binaries were removed, but the data stored in the NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pools was left intact.
•
NetVault SmartDisk was removed from a Linux or Mac OS X machine. Before the software binaries were uninstalled, the data in the NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pools was preserved as described in Preserving data before removing NetVault SmartDisk.

In the preceding scenarios, the data in the NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pools is still intact and can be used by a new installation of the NetVault SmartDisk software binaries. Each NetVault SmartDisk installation of the software binaries creates a unique identity that is referenced in the NetVault SmartDisk Content Index and your backup product; therefore, it is critical that you use the following procedures to ensure that the new NetVault SmartDisk installation of the software binaries points to the original NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pools. Failure to follow these steps renders NetVault SmartDisk unable to read or restore from the original NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pools.
