Reinstalling and Restoring VTS | 229
Recovering customer data
If you re-install the VTS server and restore a system image, customer data stored on virtual tapes is
not restored. If the data is intact on the storage area network (SAN), you can perform the following
steps to re-instate customer data.
Note If you have already re-installed the VTS server and restored the system image, you can begin
this procedure at step 4.
1. Disconnect the VTS server from the SAN.
2. Reinstall VTS as described in "Reinstalling the VTS server" on page 223.
3. Restore the VTS system image, which restores configuration settings, as described in
"Recovering VTS configuration data settings" on page 224.
4. On the VTS server, edit the fstab file to include the SAN vaults. Here is an example entry for a
vault:
LABEL=/VAULT04 /VAULT04 ext3 defaults 1 2
5. Reconnect VTS to the SAN.
6. Reboot VTS by clicking Administration > System Tasks > Reboot the System.
