Restoring Storage Array Settings

When a storage array is replaced, the recovery process attempts to format

the replacement array(s) to have the same LUN and volume group

configuration as the current NAS registry indicates. After the storage array is

recovered, restore user data from backup tape.

Note

SAN configurations cannot be automatically recovered,

however, information pertinent to the recovery is saved in the

DISASTER_RECOVERY volume. This information may be used to

manually recovery the SAN storage configuration.

1

Shut down the NAS server and connect the new storage array(s):

If you have a direct-attach configuration, follow the installation

instructions in the

HP Surestore NAS 8000 Solution Integration Manual

to connect the array(s).

If you have a SAN configuration, follow the instructions in the array

users guide to connect the array(s).

2

Access the command line interface to run disaster recovery commands:

Connect a laptop with terminal emulation software to the server.

Connect an RS232 null-modem to the Management Port on the server.

Use the terminal emulator to log in. Use the following settings:

Bits per second: 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

Press Enter until you see the system name and login prompt, as shown

here, then log in as admin. No password is required.
