NetWorker Server Recovery Requirements

The NetWorker software scans the volume for the appropriate save set and then begins the recovery. The NetWorker nsrmmdbasm command is used to recover the media database, and the uasm command is used to recover the resource configuration files. You can use the NetWorker Administrator program to monitor the recovery.

Note: The media database might not be on the same volume as the resource configuration files. If this is the case, the recovery pauses and prompts you when additional media is required.

Task 5: Rename the Resource Configuration Files

 

 

 

Because the NetWorker server’s resource configuration files cannot reliably be

 

 

 

overwritten while the NetWorker services are running, the mmrecov

 

 

 

command recovers the res directory as res.R.

 

 

 

To put the recovered resource configuration files into effect:

 

 

 

1. Stop the following NetWorker services on the NetWorker server:

 

 

 

• NetWorker Backup and Recover Server

 

 

 

4

 

 

• NetWorker Remote Exec Service

 

 

2. Copy the contents of the <NetWorker_install_path>\res.R directory to the

 

 

 

<NetWorker_install_path>\res directory.

 

 

 

3. Restart the NetWorker services.

 

 

 

Task 6: Reset and Inventory the Autochanger

 

 

 

If you are using a stand-alone storage device to perform the recovery, skip this

 

 

 

task and proceed to “Task 7: Recover the NetWorker Server’s Client File

 

 

 

Indexes” on page 76.

 

 

 

How to Reset and Inventory an Autochanger with Removable

 

 

 

Storage Disabled

 

 

 

To reset and inventory an autochanger with Removable Storage disabled:

 

 

 

1. Start a Windows command prompt and change to the directory that

 

 

 

contains the NetWorker binary files. The default location is

 

 

 

<NetWorker_install_path>\bin.

 

 

 

2. To reset the autochanger, eject volumes, reinitialize the element status,

 

 

 

and check each slot for a volume, run the following command:

 

 

 

nsrjb -vHE
