Recovery procedure
±
DSPERU
Before starting the recovery procedure, ensure that the following
has been done:
³
The tape drive must be connected and powered on.
³
The tape cassette to which the system was backed up must
be inserted. If there are multiple tapes, tape 1 must be
inserted first. The system prompts you to insert each
subsequent cassette when it is required.
³
The system must be powered on with the controller screen
displaying the ok prompt. (To display this prompt, press
<Stop><A>.)
IMPORTANT: Insertion of the tape cartridges in the correct
sequence is essential to
successful recovery.
When the
system requests additional tape cartridges, be sure to insert
the tapes in the correct sequence (for example, Vol #1, Vol
#2, etc.). If the tapes are inserted in the wrong order during
the recovery process, the restoration will fail.
1.
Insert the appropriate Solaris CD for the controller and
DocuSP software version that is being restored (Solaris 2.6
for DocuSP 2.X, Solaris 8 for DocuSP 3.X, etc.)
NOTE:
Systems equipped with Tandberg Data tape drives
must be booted with Solaris 8 CDs, regardless of the version of
DocuSP being restored. The Solaris 2.6 CD does not properly
recognize these drives and causes an unrecoverable read error
during the recovery operation.
2.
Write-enable the DSPERU diskette (tab window closed) then
insert the DSPERU diskette into the floppy drive.
3.
From the Ok prompt, enter
boot cdrom -sr
to boot the
system from CDROM into single-user mode. It may up to
five minutes to boot.
NOTE: To stop the system at the ok prompt, power on the
controller, then press <Stop> and <A> simultaneously as soon
as the screen lights.
If the system is already powered on, logon as
root
, then enter
halt
to display the
ok
prompt.
1. Enter
mount /dev/diskette /a
to mount the diskette.
2. Enter
sh /a/dsp_restore
to launch the recovery script.
3.
If multiple tapes were used during the backup, the system
pauses at the end of each tape and displays a message
similar to the following:
Mount volume 2 then enter volume name
(default: /dev/rmt/0bn)
Insert the cassettes in sequence as the system requests them.
The system reboots when the recovery is complete.
