Recovering all shared disks

The following procedure describes how to recover the shared disks in WSFC cluster.

To recover all shared disks

  1. Uninstall the cluster software from both nodes.
  2. Replace and repartition the shared disks.
  3. Reinstall the cluster software.
  4. Ensure that all NetBackup shared disks are assigned the same drive letters that were used when NetBackup was originally installed and configured.
  5. To reconfigure NetBackup for the cluster, do the following on the active node:

    • Run the following command:

      bpclusterutil -ci
    • Recreate the database.

    • Run the following commands:

      tpext 
      bpclusterutil -online
  6. Use the appropriate NetBackup catalog recovery procedure to restore the NetBackup catalog information on the shared disk before continuing. See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide for more information on recovering the NetBackup catalog database.
