Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
NDS information is stored only on the SYS volume. Therefore, if you
experience a hard disk failure on a non-SYS volume, you do not have to modify
or restore any part of the NDS tree. You only need to restore file
system data (including file and trustee data).
To restore a non-SYS volume after a hard disk failure:
- Do not delete the Volume object for the failed volume from the NDS
tree. In this situation, you can leave the Volume object in the NDS
tree to preserve any references that other objects may have to the failed
volume. If the Volume object is deleted, you will need to replace any
objects that have references to the failed volume to reestablish the
references correctly.
- Bring down the server and replace the failed hard disk(s).
- Bring the server up and recreate the volume using the NWCONFIG.NLM
utility. At the server console, type
load nwconfig
and create a NetWare partition on the new disk, thus redefining the volume
to NetWare. NetWare will (re)place the Volume object in the NDS
tree.
- Note:
- Ensure that utilities such as DSREPAIR.NLM or DSMAINT.NLM are
not running when you load NWCONFIG.NLM to ensure that the Volume object
is (re)placed in the NDS properly.
- Remount the volume using NWCONFIG.NLM.
- 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)
- Restore the volume(s) using Tivoli Storage Manager. Enter the
following NetWare console command for each volume you want to restore:
load dsmc restore vol1:\* -subdir=yes -replace=all -volinfo
Where vol1: is the name of the failed volume.
