Recovering the entire UNIX or Linux cluster
The following procedure applies to the clustered NetBackup server environment that must be re-created from scratch.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have valid online catalog backups.
To recover the entire UNIX or Linux cluster
- Configure the hardware, system software, and cluster environment on the replacement cluster.
- Ensure that the appropriate low-level tape device and robotic control device configuration necessary for your operating system has been performed.
Refer to the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide:
- Reinstall NetBackup on each of the cluster nodes. Be sure to use the NetBackup Virtual Name as the name of the NetBackup server. Follow the instructions for installing NetBackup server software.
Refer to the NetBackup Installation Guide:
- Configure the clustered NetBackup server.
Refer to the NetBackup High Availability Guide:
- Install any Maintenance Packs and patches that are required to bring the newly installed NetBackup server to the same patch level as the server being replaced
- Configure required devices and media and recover the NetBackup catalogs.
- Bring the NetBackup resource group on each node in turn and run the Device Configuration Wizard to configure the devices.
Configuration information on your particular cluster is available.
