Procedure for restoring from tape directly to the primary volume

Perform the following procedure on the database server.

To restore data that was backed up to tape directly to the primary volume:

1.

Execute the following command to import the file of backup information corresponding to the
data that is to be restored. This file is from among the backup information files that were output
by the

drmdbexport

command (the files exported as described in “

Procedure for backing up

to tape on the backup server

” on page 559) when backing up to tape, and which were sent from

the backup server to the database server.

PROMPT> drmdbimport -f file-name

(Create the file in the

DRM_DB_PATH

directory.)

2.

Stop the database.

When the backup is of an SQL Server database:

If restoration does not include a system database, detach the database that is to be restored.
If restoration does include a system database, stop the SQL Server service.
If the system is in a cluster configuration, place the following resources offline:

SQL Server

,

SQL Server Agent

,

SQL Server Fulltext

.

3.

Delete the pair definition of the primary volume.

Execute the

drmfscat

command, or

drmsqlcat

command to confirm the volume subject to

restoration from the imported backup information. Then, using a RAID Manager command, delete
the pair definition of this volume.

4.

Restore from the tape to the primary volume.

Using backup management software, restore the data from the restoration-target tape to the
backup-source primary volume.

5.

Recover the database control information.

When the backup is of an SQL Server database:

Using the backup catalog stored on the backup server, restore the metafiles or control files
to the database server.

6.

Recover the database.

When the backup is of an SQL Server database:

Execute the

drmsqlrestore

command with the

-no_resync

option specified.

PROMPT> drmsqlrestore

backup-ID
