Make sure to enter the original server name, and then reboot the server. Step 2: Validating the Original RAIDs and Volumes Before you can restore data from tape, verify that your RAIDs and volumes mount successfully and have not been compromised. If the original configuration is intact and accessible, skip to the next step. Otherwise, you must re-create RAIDs or volumes as necessary to match the original configuration using one or more of the processes summarized below: 1 Navigate to the Storage > RAID Sets screen and click Create RAID Set. Using the screens that follow, recreate the original RAID configuration. 2 Navigate to the Storage > Volumes screen and click Create Volume. Using the screens that follow, recreate the original volume configuration. 3 Navigate to the Storage > Shares screen and click Create Share. Using the screens that follow, recreate the original share configuration. Step 3: Restoring the Data from Tape If you are using NetVault for GuardianOS, you must restore the nvdb directory to the first volume before proceeding to restore data from tape. (For instructions, see "Backing Up the NetVault for GuardianOS NVDB Directory" on page 63.) Users of other backup software packages may require variations in this procedure. 1 Determine the restoration procedure for your backup software. Refer to your backup software's documentation for details on the appropriate restoration procedure. Chapter 8 Disaster Recovery 67
