NetWorker Server Recovery Requirements

During the installation, keep the following points in mind:

• If the NetWorker installation kit is available on a shared drive, you can install it over the network.

• To update the NetWorker software, first recover the server to its state immediately prior to the disaster, then perform the update.

• You do not need to reload the license enablers; they will be restored later in the recovery process.

• Because the NetWorker mmrecov command is case sensitive, the NetWorker installation path must be in the same case as the original. For example, C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr is not same as C:\Program Files\legato\NSR.

2. Install any NetWorker patches that were in use prior to the disaster.

named kingdome might be:

kingdome kingdome.seattle.washington.com

2. Create and configure the NetWorker server’s Device resources. Do not mount or relabel any volumes in the devices. For more information, refer to the Legato NetWorker Installation Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.

• If you are using an autochanger with Removable Storage disabled:

a. Start a Windows command prompt and change to the <NetWorker_install_path>\bin directory.

b. Create and configure the Autochanger resource using the jbconfig command. Alternatively, you can use the NetWorker Administrator device autodetection feature.

c. Run the nsrjb -vHEcommand from the command prompt. This resets the autochanger, ejects backup volumes, reinitializes the element status, and checks each slot for a volume. If the
