HP Legato Networker manual Task 5 Configure NetWorker Device and Autochanger Resources

Restoring an Entire Cluster

Task 5: Configure NetWorker Device and Autochanger Resources

To configure the Device and Autochanger resources:

• To recover data using a stand-alone device, ensure that the stand-alone Device resource exists (defined in the /nsr/res directory). If the stand-alone Device resource does not exist, create it using the NetWorker Administrator program.

• To recover data using an autochanger, ensure that the Autochanger

9		resource exists (defined in the /nsr/res directory). If the Autochanger
		resource does not exist, create it using the jbconfig command. For details
		about using the jbconfig command, refer to the Legato NetWorker
		Administrator’s Guide, UNIX Version.
		If you are using an autochanger, reset the autochanger using the
		nsrjb -vHEcommand. This command resets the autochanger, ejects
		backup volumes, reinitializes the element status, and checks each slot for
		a volume.
		If the autochanger does not support the -Eoption, initialize the element
		status using sjiielm.
		If you are using an autochanger, inventory the autochanger using the
		nsrjb -Icommand. This helps determine whether the volumes required to
		recover the bootstrap are located inside the autochanger.
	Task 6: Locate the Server’s Bootstrap Save Set ID
		Perform this task if you need to locate the bootstrap save set ID in order to
		recover the NetWorker server’s latest bootstrap. If you have a record of the
		save set ID for the bootstrap, proceed to “Task 7: Recover the Server’s
		Bootstrap” on page 147.
		Important: If you move the NetWorker backup media to an offsite location and
		a subsequent file recover operation generates a mount request, the recover
		operation will wait until an operator satisfies the mount request. To avoid
		delays, use the mminfo -mvcommand to list the media associated with the file
		you are recovering. If necessary, retrieve the media from the offsite storage
		before starting the recover.

To locate the most recent bootstrap save set ID:

1.Insert the most recent media or clone volumes used for scheduled backups into the appropriate device.
