Adding a NetVault SmartDisk

To use a NetVault SmartDisk for backups and restores, you must first add the device to the NetVault Server. You can use the configuration wizard to add and configure this device.

To add a NetVault SmartDisk to the NetVault Server:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Add Storage Devices.
— or —
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices, and then click Add Device.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the NetVault SmartDisk option, and click Next.
3
On the Add NetVault SmartDisk Instance page, provide the following details.
Figure 8. Add NetVault SmartDisk Instance page
Table 33. Add NetVault SmartDisk
 
Option
Description

Network name/IP address

Type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the host on which NetVault SmartDisk is installed. You must provide this information even if the device is deployed on the NetVault Server.

If the server is unable to resolve the host name, it fails to add the device.

Network port

The default value for this setting is zero (0). If the device is listening on the default port, do not change this value.

If the device is listening on a non-default port, type the port number configured as the Network Settings:Remote Listen Port in the percolator.cfg file. For more information about configuring a non-default port for a NetVault SmartDisk, see the Quest NetVault SmartDisk Administrator’s Guide.

Force Add

If the device is already added to another NetVault Server with the same name, select the Force Add check box. This option can be useful if you have performed a disaster recovery to rebuild the NetVault Server.

Configure WebDAV credentials

To prevent unauthorized access to data, you can set up WebDAV authentication for server requests on NetVault SmartDisk. NetVault SmartDisk uses Digest Access Authentication with WebDAV. For more information about setting up authentication on the NetVault SmartDisk Server, see the Quest NetVault SmartDisk Administrator’s Guide.

If WebDAV authentication is enabled on the NetVault SmartDisk, select this check box, and provide the following information:

•
Username: Specify the user account configured on the NetVault SmartDisk Server.
•
Password: Type the password for the user account.
•
Confirm Password: Type the password again for confirmation.
NOTE: If you enable WebDAV authentication on the NetVault SmartDisk Server, but do not configure the authentication details on the NetVault Server, the backups and restore operations using that device fail without reporting any proper error messages. The scan operation also fails for the device.
NOTE: NetVault does not provide any method to disable WebDAV authentication once it has been enabled for a NetVault SmartDisk. The only way to disable WebDAV authentication is to remove the NetVault SmartDisk from the NetVault Server, and add the device again.
4
Click Next to add the device.
5
After the device is successfully added and initialized, a message is displayed.

Migrating savesets and backup jobs from NetVault SmartDisk to QoreStor

Use the migration feature to move savesets and backup jobs from NetVault SmartDisk device to QoreStor. As part of migration, all saved and scheduled backup jobs are redirected from the targeted NetVault SmartDisk device to the targeted QoreStor device. This process is completed before the data from existing backups is migrated.

Important notes
•
QoreStor is only supported on Linux-based platforms.
•
All savesets associated with a specific NetVault Server and NetVault SmartDisk are migrated to the new target. You cannot select specific savesets.
•
Although migration moves the backup and saveset data to a QoreStor device, NetVault does not delete the data from NetVault SmartDisk. Additionally, you cannot use NetVault to delete the data from NetVault SmartDisk after migration is finished; you must manually delete the data.
•
The Expire All function is automatically disabled during the migration process. However, it is not disabled on the new target.
•
If migration fails or you manually stop the process, savesets that were already migrated automatically point to the new target. If you restart migration, only savesets that have not been migrated yet are addressed. Additionally, corresponding backup jobs are also automatically updated to point to the new target; they do not revert to the original target even if migration of the applicable savesets is interrupted.
If migration of a specific saveset fails, you can run migration again after the first pass is finished. Depending on the reason for the failure, the remaining savesets might complete migration on the subsequent pass.
•
If you interrupt the migration process to select a different target, you must manually update the backup jobs that have been redirected to point to the new target.
•
Although NetVault does not limit the number of migrations that you can perform simultaneously, Quest recommends that you process each migration separately.
•
You can migrate multiple savesets from different NetVault SmartDisk devices to the same QoreStor device if the target contains sufficient space. If space is not available, migration fails.
•
You can migrate the same saveset to different QoreStor devices; however, the saveset points to the last QoreStor device that you selected.
•
During the migration process, Quest strongly recommends that you avoid initiating a backup job that targets the NetVault SmartDisk device that you are migrating.
•
You can create up to five storage groups and 16 containers across all storage groups.
QoreStor does not support multi-tenancy.
•
NetVault does not support migration of a Secondary Copy from one type of RDA Device to another.
If you use a Duplicate method of a Phase 2 backup job to create a Secondary Copy that also targets a NetVault SmartDisk device, the job might fail after migration is finished. This occurs when both jobs targeted a NetVault SmartDisk device. During migration, the primary job is migrated to the new target, such as a QoreStor device, and the backup job completes successfully. The secondary job still identifies a NetVault SmartDisk device as the target, which causes it to fail.
•
You can use the Secondary Copy feature with different RDA device types, but you cannot use it with an RDA device and a NetVault SmartDisk device. You must create a new Secondary Copy that uses an RDA device as the target.

Migrating savesets and backup jobs

1
Make sure that you have added the Linux-based QoreStor device to the NetVault Server.
For more information, see Quest DR Series systems or Quest QoreStor.
2
Make sure that the NetVault SmartDisk device and the QoreStor device are online and assigned to the same NetVault Server.
a
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
b
On the Manage Devices page, note the status of the NetVault SmartDisk device and the QoreStor device.
Figure 9. Devices are online
3
Verify that the applicable backup savesets are pointing to the online NetVault SmartDisk device.
a
In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.
b
On the Explore Storage page, click Explore Disk Storage.
c
On the Explore Disk Storage page, select the applicable device in the repository table, and click Explore Repository.
d
On the Explore Disk Storage Repository page, review the information listed in the Saveset table.
e
To close the dialog box, click Close.
f
Repeat these steps for each saveset that you want to migrate from NetVault SmartDisk to a QoreStor device.
4
When you are ready to start the migration process, click Manage Devices in the Navigation pane.
5
Click the Manage Device icon for the NetVault SmartDisk device.
6
On the RAS Device Management page, click Start Migration.
7
In the Select target device dialog box, select the QoreStor device to which you want to migrate the NetVault SmartDisk saveset.
8
Select an existing Target Set or create a new Target Set that saved or scheduled backup jobs should target, and click Confirm.
9
To monitor the progress of the migration, click Check logs.

The View logs page displays all NetVault logs. To view only the NetVault SmartDisk, enter NVSD in the text box. The process is displayed as a percentage of the savesets that have been migrated.
