HP Legato Networker manual Task 2 Configure the Operating System

Chapter 5: NetWare Disaster Recovery

•Computer name

•IPX network number and/or IP address

For details, refer to the NetWare documentation.

If you want to upgrade NetWare, first restore the operating system to its original state, and then perform the upgrade.

3.Install NDS into its original location using the install or nwconfig utility:

•Use the same name as the original tree.

•Use the same server name.

•Use the same container and Administrator name.

•Ensure the Administrator object resides at the same level, in the same container, as it did in the original tree.

For details, refer to the NetWare documentation.

Important: If this server will become the master of the NDS Root partition, during installation, make sure you re-create the Organization object using the same name. If the Organization object does not have the same name, the subtree will contain new empty containers.

Task 2: Configure the Operating System

To configure the operating system:

5

1. Configure the IPX/SPX and TCP/IP properties exactly as they were configured before. If you do not, the NetWorker software will assign the computer a new host ID. If the computer has a different host ID, you must reregister the NetWorker software. For details, refer to the Legato NetWorker Installation Guide, NetWare Version.

2. If you are recovering to a new computer, assign the same hostname for the new computer. If you do not use the same hostname, you will not be able to recover the NetWorker indexes associated with the original computer.

3. Configure the date and time properties as they were configured before.

4. If you had any additional NetWare components or services, reinstall them before recovering the computer’s data.

5. Restart the computer after installing the NetWare operating system.
