Creating or modifying the rename file
Create or modify the rename file in the any directory for the following scenarios:
Redirect restore and recover the MongoDB database to an alternate cluster
Redirect restore and recover the MongoDB database to an alternate node, or port, or database path in an existing cluster
If the rename file is not available, then you must create it and save it as rename.txt on the NetBackup master server.
The MongoDB rename file contains the following fields:
BIGDATA_MONGODB RestoreOnly BIGDATA_MONGODB RecoverOnly BIGDATA_MONGODB PointInTime change /MongoDBnode_hostname1:port1/db1 to /MongoDBnode_hostname2:port2/db2
For restore only:
BIGDATA_MONGODB RestoreOnly YES BIGDATA_MONGODB RecoverOnly NO BIGDATA_MONGODB RecoverPointInTime 0
For recovery in a specific point in time:
BIGDATA_MONGODB RestoreOnly NO BIGDATA_MONGODB RecoverOnly NO BIGDATA_MONGODB RecoverPointInTime 1290571200
For recovery and changing MongoDB node hostname, port, or database path:
BIGDATA_MONGODB RestoreOnly NO BIGDATA_MONGODB RecoverOnly NO BIGDATA_MONGODB RecoverPointInTime 0 change /MongoDBnode_hostname1:port1/db1 to /MongoDBnode_hostname2:port2/db2
Note:
If the application_server (MongoDBnode_hostname1:port1) is different from the target application_server (MongoDBnode_hostname2:port2), the rename entry must contain ALT_APPLICATION_SERVER=MongoDBnode_hostname2:port2.
After making the required changes in the rename file, you can run the bprestore command. For more information, See Using the command line to recover a MongoDB database.
