Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 master tanked

You will need to know what was your offline catalog backup tape label before you start:

1. Make sure to call the server the same name as per the original server.

2. Get your robot and drives working on the new server.

3. Install netbackup and patch to 6.5.3.

4. Configure your robot and drives on netbackup.

5. Don’t worry about any other configs at this stage. After recovery the original settings will be back.

6. Run media inventory and check under media tab, check in which slot the catalog tape reside. Let’s say it’s in slot 5 for this example.

7. On command line in …\VERITAS\volmgr\bin\ run robtest.

8. Select your robot and then run m s5 d1 (this means move slot 5 to drive 1)

9. When it comes back successful loaded, exit out of robtest with Q.

10. Then in …\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\ run bprecover –l –tpath \\.\Tape0

11. This should come back with catalog information. If not do #9 again but change to Tape1, Tape1 and so on until you get the catalog info.

12. When you have the info, run in …\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\ bprecover –r –tpath \\.\Tape0 (or whatever tape drive gave you your catalog info)

13. It will start running and prompt you before it starts recovery of the next part of the catalog.

14. When done, stop and restart the netbackup services.

15. Or in …\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\ run bprecover –r ALL – tpath \\.\Tape0 (or whatever tape drive gave you your catalog info)

16. It will start running and when done, stop netbackup services and restart.

17. Check your settings and change where necessary.

Hopes this help.

Install Netbackup and get your library working.

Put your catalog backup tape in the library.

Inventory the catalog backup tape.

Run Phase I and Phase II import of the Catalog Tape

Restore the drfile from the tape (unless you already have it available)

Use the Catalog Recovery Wizard to restore the Catalog (and other bits)

Our Windows 6.5.3 master tanked at the worst possible time. We have a scaler i2000 with 10 lto-4 drives attached. I have read the instructions from veritas on using bprecover a dozen times and cannot for the life of me figure out what they are trying to say.

1. Put tape in drive (fine, which one?)

2. Run command bprecover –r –ALL –tpath device_path<tape drive> ?????

The examples are garbage

Any help?
