Hi, we have a customer experiencing some restore problem on
Novell Netware 3.12.
We also use Novell 4.11 inhouse and have
seen some of these same issues.
Does anyone have any comments / suggestions with the
following...
The main issue seems to be the size of any one restore that
will work without seeming
to hang. Connected to this is a general question of restore
performance (Yes, that old one!).
The only stuff I found on the list server with any details
dates back to 1994/5. Are any of these
comments still valid...?
"Because ADSM builds an image of the directory
structure in short term memory, my guess is you're running into short term
memory constraints"
"Bump up the short term memory allocation as much as
possible on the server the restore is initiated from (Netware 3.11 is
limited to 16MB, Netware 3.12 is 32MB)"
"Depending on the size of the file structure, you might
not be able to do a restore in one pass - you might have to split it
up. I know it's a bit kludgy but haven't been able to find a way around
this. Easiest way I've found to do this is to issue the following command
from the DSMC prompt
-QUERY BACKUP <volname goes here>:* -dirsonly
-dirsonly
This will list all the directories off of the root. This will list all the directories off of the root. Then it's
just a matter of restoring each
directory individually. Don't forget to
include the -volinfo parameter (and, of course,
the -subdir parm) on the restore if you want to restore the
volume restrictions
(trustee directory assignments for the root directory of a
volume, volume or disk
space restrictions, etc.)."
