79 BackBox H4.00 User Manual
Note that a virtual volume must be known by the Domain Manager to be
automatically loaded by BackPak. An up-to-date catalog is required to make all
BackPak features available.
TMF and DSM/TC catalogs are not required to run restores from virtual volumes.
These NonStop catalogs must be restored according to the procedure recommended
by HP.
Recovery from backups on a new NonStop system
This section assumes that the backups recommended in the "Setup for recovery"
section of the "Installation" chapter are available.
1. Unpack the PAK file containing the BackPak installation sub-volume including
the VOLUME* files,
2. Check that the whole BackPak environment is operational and has access to
Data Stores containing the images of TMF and BACKUP virtual volumes.
3. RESTORE the VOLUME* files from the most recent backup of the BackBox
installation sub-volume.
The BackPak environment is now ready to process all mount requests. If the DSM/TC
catalogs must be restored, it should be done at this time.
If the backups recommended in the "Setup for recovery" section of the "Installation"
chapter are not available:
- Install the BackPak software from an ETI-NET distribution
package;
- Initialize the BackPak configuration by replacing the default
BBSVCFG file with the one saved previously, or according
manual notes.
- Enter manually the list of virtual volumes in RESTRICTED Data
Stores, as presented above in the “Recover the BackPak
catalog” section.
- Finally, recover the DSM\TC catalog
Recovery on a prepared DR system
This section assumes that:
- The DR system already has a working BackPak environment.
- Backups or replications recommended in the "Setup for recovery"
section of the "Installation" chapter are available.
To do:
1. Check that the whole BackPak environment is operational and has access to
Data Stores containing the images of TMF and BACKUP virtual volumes.
