Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
In a situation in which all network servers are destroyed because of a
disaster, you must restore the entire NDS tree and all file
information. To do this, perform the following steps:
- Reinstall the NetWare OS and NDS on a primary server. Use the
NWCONFIG.NLM utility for this step. By default, this server will
hold the Root partition of the NDS tree.
- Install the remaining servers into the network using the
NWCONFIG.NLM utility. After this step, you should have a
skeleton of your original NDS. Ensure that you note the
following precautions:
- Use the same servers name in the install.
- Use the same admin parent container and password as the last NDS
backup.
- Ensure all hard disk partitions are at least as large as they were on the
failed server.
- Use the same volume names as on the failed servers.
- Place the servers in the same context as the original tree.
- Ensure that the NetWare OS has the correct patches for Tivoli Storage
Manager to function properly. Refer to the client
readme.1st file shipped with the Tivoli Storage Manager
client for more information about dependencies on NetWare OS patches.
- Install Tivoli Storage Manager and reestablish the communications
protocol. Use the NWCONFIG.NLM utility to reinstall the Tivoli
Storage Manager code on the NetWare server. Reconfigure the
communications protocol so that the Tivoli Storage Manager client can
communicate with the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
- Load the necessary SMS target service agents. At the target NetWare
server console enter:
load tsands
load tsa500 (NetWare 5) or
load tsa600 (NetWare 6)
- Restore the entire NDS tree from Tivoli Storage Manager. Use the
following command at the NetWare server console:
load dsmc restore nds -replace=yes
The -replace=yes option ensures that place-holders created by
the restore process are properly replaced by real NDS objects.
- Restore the volume(s) using Tivoli Storage Manager. Use the
following NetWare console command for each volume you want to restore:
load dsmc restore sys:\* -subdir=yes -replace=all -volinfo
Where SYS: is the name of the failed volume.
- Verify restoration of the NDS, file data, and trustee data.
