Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Example 2a: Single-Server Network

In a single-server network, the loss of the SYS volume implies the loss of the entire NDS. To restore the server, perform the following steps:

  1. Replace the failed hard disk(s).
  2. Reinstall the NetWare OS and NDS on the server. This step replaces the Server and Volume object(s). Using the NWCONFIG.NLM utility on NetWare, note the following precautions:

    This step replaces the Server and Volume object(s).

  3. Ensure that the NetWare OS has the correct patches for Tivoli Storage Manager to function properly. Refer to the clientreadme.1st file for more information about dependencies on NetWare OS patches.
  4. If the server had volumes other then SYS, and these volumes were not affected by the failure, run DSREPAIR to purge the file system of invalid trustees on those volumes. This step cleans-up the volume directory entry tables (DET) and file entry tables (FET) so that the trustee assignments can be restored correctly. At the server console, LOAD DSREPAIR and choose the Unattended Full Repair option. (This automatically purges invalid trustee assignments).
  5. 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.
  6. Load the necessary SMS target service agents. At the target NetWare server console type:
    load tsands
    load tsa500 (NetWare 5)  or
    load tsa600 (NetWare 6)
    
  7. Restore the entire NDS tree from Tivoli Storage Manager.

    Use the following command at the NetWare server console:

    load dsmc restore directory -replace=yes
    

    The -replace=yes option is required to ensure that place-holders created by the restore process are properly replaced by real NDS objects.

  8. 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.

  9. Verify restoration of the NDS, file data and trustee data.
