The procedure for a NetWorker Disaster recovery is pretty much the same except for the installation of NetWorker.
Disaster recovery is an organization's method of regaining access and functionality to its IT infrastructure after events like a natural disaster, cyber attack, or anything that causes business disruptions.
The detailed plan for the DR is regularly updated by holding DR drills. However I have often seen that the DR drills are more inclined towards the application that is being restored and very less attention is given towards the DR of the NetWorker server. Most of the companies do not actually do a DR of NetWorker but rather a migration like activity where in the production a server used for the drill would have a different hostname for the backup server. This scenario is technically a NetWorker server migration and not a NetWorker DR. For our discussion today we will consider that we are doing an actual drill where the backup server’s hostname is the same as that of production and that the production network is completely isolated from the production network. Don't worry if you belong to those drills where in the backup server hostname is different to that of the production backup server, there is another video coming where I will be talking more about NetWorker server migration so stay tuned for that video.
First let's look at the per-requisites, make sure that this information is accessible during the DR process. Really all you need is the bootstrap report. Thus it is very critical that you have the bootstrap reporting enabled and configured. The best option is to have the bootstrap report sent to you via email everyday. This way even if your infa goes down you can access your email to get the bootstrap information. The bootstrap backup contains the resource database and the media database information.
The recovery of the bootstrap is done using the command - nsrdr. Here is a quick guide on how to get the details for nsrdr using the NetWorker command app.
Cont. Now that I am done doing some marketing for my app, let's continue.
Get the bootstrap information using the mminfo command. I don't have a SMTP setup on this machine thus I dont have the bootstrap email notification setup. But as I had mentioned earlier this is very important. Not the information that is relevant for the DR.
Next let's shut down the NetWorker services and rename the nsr folder which is equivalent to having a new NetWorker server. Please note that in this demo we are using the same hostname on the DR server as the backup server.
In an actual scenario the Linux/Windows administrators are going to build the NetWorker server with OS and the latest patches and hand it over to you. You will next have to go ahead and install all the NetWorker components, refer the to NetWorker installation video in case you want more information related to installation.
Next, Create the device from the information that we have from the bootstrap report
nsrdr
Don't run the index recovery as part of the nsrdr process.
Now restore the index for only the systems that need are to be restored as part of the drill. |
