Task 1: Recover the NetWare SYS Volume
To recover a NetWare 4.11 or IntraNetWare SYS volume:
To recover a SYS volume:
1. From the NetWorker server, perform a directed recover to restore the
failed server’s Server Specific Info (SSI) files from a tape backup to a
functioning NetWorker for NetWare client.
The server-specific information files (SERVDATA.NDS, DSMISC.LOG,
VOLSINFO.TXT, STARTUP.NCF, and AUTOEXEC.NCF) are restored to a
subdirectory under SYS:\SYSTEM on the client you have selected. This
subdirectory is given a DOS 8.3 name derived from the source server
name.
Important: For NetWare 4.11/IntraNetWare servers, do not delete the server
or volume objects for the failed server from the NDS tree. You do not want to
eliminate any references other objects might have to the server. If objects were
deleted from the NDS tree, use the NetWare 4.10 procedure for recovering
from a disaster.
2. If the failed server held a master replica, use NDS Manager or dsrepair to
designate a new master replica on a different server in the replica ring. To
determine which replicas were stored on the failed server, refer to
DSMISC.LOG.
3. If the failed server also contained any nonmaster replicas, use NDS
Manager or dsrepair on the servers containing master replicas to remove
the failed server from the replica ring.
A NetWare warning message appears. Continue with the recovery
procedure. For more information, refer to “Backing Up and Restoring
Novell Directory Services in NetWare 4.11” in Novell Application Notes,
October 1996.
