Manual Disaster Recovery of an UNIX Cell
Manager
Manual Disaster Recovery is a basic method, that involves recovering
the system by reinstalling it in the same way as it was initially installed.
In addition, Data Protector is used to then restore all files, including the
operating system.
Limitation
For details on supported operating systems, refer to the HP OpenView
Storage Data Protector Software Release Notes.
This description does not cover the recovery of a cluster environment.
Depending on the configuration of the cluster environment, additional
steps and modification to the environment are necessary.
Preparation
Perform the same preparatory steps without the steps pertaining to the
auxiliary disk, as for Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery of an HP-UX or
Solaris client. See “Preparation” on page 507 for reference. In addition to
completing those steps, you also have to complete the following:
1. The IDB has to be backed up regularly, ideally in a separate backup
specification, scheduled after the backup of the Cell Manager.
2. The IDB and configuration backup must run to a specific device
located on the Cell Manager system, to make the administrator aware
that the medium in the device contains the most recent version of the
IDB.
Recovery
Use the following method to recover your UNIX Cell Manager.
Prerequisites You will need the following to successfully perform a disaster recovery:
• Media containing the last valid known backup of the root partition of
the Cell Manager and IDB.
