Disaster Recovery

Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery of an UNIX Client

4. Reconstruct the logical volume structure if applicable (for example, using LVM on HP-UX). Use the saved data for the non-root volume groups (for example, with vgcfgrestore or SAM on HP-UX).

5. Additionally, the root volume group to be restored has to be created on the repaired disk (for example, using vgimport on HP-UX). It will not look like a root volume group during the restore process. This is because the OS from the auxiliary disk will be running. For more information on vgimport, see its man page.

6. Make the new disk bootable.

7. Reconstruct any other storage structures like mirror, striping, service guard, and so on from the data saved on a secondary storage device during backup.

8. Create the filesystems and mount them as required by the data from the backup; use similar but not the original mountpoint names (like /etc_restore for /etc, and so on).

9. Remove any files in the mountpoints to be restored, they must be clean.

10.Start the Data Protector GUI and open a connection to the Cell Manager. Import the system with the auxiliary disk into the cell.

11.Select the version from which you want to restore. First list all the

	required media for the restore and make sure they are available.
	Restore all the required mountpoints including the (future)
	root-volume to the system, using the option Restore As
	<new_mountpoint>. The root-volume from the backup is restored to
	the root-volume on the repaired disk. Nothing is restored to the
	currently-running auxiliary operating system on the auxiliary disk.
	12.Shut down the system that was just restored.
	13.Disconnect the auxiliary disk from the system.
	14.Reboot the system from the new (or repaired) disk.
NOTE	Instead of using an auxiliary disk, the new disk can also be temporarily
	connected to a client that has to have a Disk Agent installed. After being
	restored, it can be connected to the faulty system and booted.
