Manager, the security setting of volumes may not have been done correctly for
disaster recovery and read access is denied
Use the BackPak user interface to edit volumes settings that were written since the
backup of BackPak catalog and that may need to be restored or to fix volume load
problems:
1. Adjust the volume owner and security setting if required.
2. Disable the Check volume timestamp at volume or Data Store level.
Note that when the timestamp check is disabled and the Windows INDEX file is
present in several paths of the disk pool, the load will fail and the user will have to
delete the obsolete versions.
To recover the catalog when there is no available catalog backup, but the actual
data is available in the Data Store, the catalog has to be entered manually:
1. Use configuration backups and notes to rebuild the configuration of a new
domain.
2. Change the Data Store’s domain access to RESTRICTED in the domain
configuration.
3. In "Windows file" Data Stores, restore all *.IND files if they were deleted after
archive/backup to a back-end Enterprise backup server.
4. Using the Create Volumes page of the user interface, re-create all virtual
volumes in the BackPak catalog – this does not access the actual Data Store
and DSM/TC or TMF catalogs (because of the RESTRICTED status of the data
store).
5. If possible, adjust the security settings at the volume level as required.
6. Change the Data Store back to PRIMARY and, using your record, set the
configuration back to its former state.
7. Until the volume is rewritten in the new environment, its access will be
authorized according the access authorization set at backup time and kept
along the volume data in the Data Store, not according the authorization that
will be stored in the domain when the volumes will be recreated in this
procedure.
Recover the BackPak NonStop Environment
To recover the BackPak NonStop environment, four items must be re-installed:
- The BackPak software
- The static BackPak Domain configuration (BBSVCFG, BBEXTCFG, STATE and
BBSETUP files.) Note that BBSVCFG includes a license key that is valid only
for one or more specific NonStop node.
- The catalog of virtual volumes (VOLUME & VOLUME0 files).
- The OBEY files, such as OBB017, that were customized by the user.
