Task 5: Configure NetWorker Device and Autochanger Resources
To configure the Device and Autochanger resources:
• To recover data using a stand-alone device, ensure that the stand-alone
Device resource exists (defined in the /nsr/res directory). If the stand-alone
Device resource does not exist, create it using the NetWorker
Administrator program.
• To recover data using an autochanger, ensure that the Autochanger
resource exists (defined in the /nsr/res directory). If the Autochanger
resource does not exist, create it using the jbconfig command. For details
about using the jbconfig command, refer to the Legato NetWorker
Administrator’s Guide, UNIX Version.
If you are using an autochanger, reset the autochanger using the
nsrjb -vHE command. This command resets the autochanger, ejects
backup volumes, reinitializes the element status, and checks each slot for
a volume.
If the autochanger does not support the -E option, initialize the element
status using sjiielm.
If you are using an autochanger, inventory the autochanger using the
nsrjb -I command. This helps determine whether the volumes required to
recover the bootstrap are located inside the autochanger.
Task 6: Locate the Server’s Bootstrap Save Set ID
Perform this task if you need to locate the bootstrap save set ID in order to
recover the NetWorker server’s latest bootstrap. If you have a record of the
save set ID for the bootstrap, proceed to “Task 7: Recover the Server’s
Bootstrap” on page 147.
Important: If you move the NetWorker backup media to an offsite location and
a subsequent file recover operation generates a mount request, the recover
operation will wait until an operator satisfies the mount request. To avoid
delays, use the mminfo -mv command to list the media associated with the file
you are recovering. If necessary, retrieve the media from the offsite storage
before starting the recover.
To locate the most recent bootstrap save set ID:
1. Insert the most recent media or clone volumes used for scheduled backups
into the appropriate device.
