Appendix F: Disaster Recovery with Third-Party Software
274 Cobalt RaQ XTR User Manual
Performing a disaster-recovery operation
After completing the preparation steps in the previous section, the RaQ XTR is
now ready to be restored.
1. Telnet to the RaQ XTR and become the root user.
2. Execute the command:
$ /usr/bin/recover -s server -iY -a /var > /var/cobalt/
recover.log 2>&1
where -s server indicates the NetWorker backup server (for example,
-s legato.cobalt.com), -iY indicates to overwrite all files and -a /var instructs
the recover command to restore the listed partitions
3. Wait for the command to finish.
4. Execute the command:
$ /usr/bin/recover -s server -iY -a / /home > /var/cobalt/
recover.log 2>&1
5. Wait for the command to finish.
6. Reboot the RaQ XTR.
When the commands have completed, reboot the RaQ XTR for all the changes to
take effect.
☞
Important: Disaster recovery is not complete until you reboot the
RaQ XTR.
☞
Important: The first recover operation must complete before the
second begins. The /var directory must be recovered before
the / directory or an error will occur when recovering the Cobalt
database in postgres. If this happens, the system administration
database and the OS configuration files will be out of
synchronization, and the UI will have inconsistent information.
