Hello,
For past 6-7 years i have recovered networker at DR consistantly, i have
detail DR documentation, but really all you need is Legato's DR guide, in
your case you can skip the sji* steps , just place the tape in the drive
and create TAPE0, this should work 99% of the time,if you have 4 tape
drives, just mount any tapes in them manually, and then write down which
tape get loaded in which drive, there you have your drive mappings.
Your process of mmrecov is well documented in DR guide.
Odd problems such Block size can be verified once the drives are created
just by looking at the device info, windows has 64 bit limitation,
otherwise you should try and stay consistant across platform even though
linux and solaris you could get more out of Block sizes on the drives, but
if your backup server is Windows stick with 64 bit.
Other things to watch out is make sure SCSI\Tape drivers are loaded
correctly, try to stay same version as in your own enviroment, i try to
keep all current and previous drivers at hand during dr.
Clean tapes ( this has caused failed recovers) before you recover any data.
Same service packs, removable storage manager settings etc need to checked.
ON TCP, i like to recover locally on the backup server then copy to
desired servers since tcp trafic at 100 mb cannot keep up with tape drive
speed, this could prolong your recovery for long time, especially, if you
have one or two drives and you are recovering 10 servers.
If GB network is avallable try to leverage that, you may go directly to
the clients in this case, 500 GB is a different story.
Lastly, recover only from client ( so capture individual logs) and capture
all logs for future reference , since db team always blames recover when
theier test fails.
