These steps use this sample scenario:
- Backup job performed using: mediaserver1, mediaserver2, mediaserver3, and mediaserver4
- Restore job using only: mediaserver4
Upon completion of the restore process and resuming normal configuration, the changes made to NetBackup and DSA must be reversed to reflect the previous configuration.
-
Make these changes for Veritas NetBackup:
-
Open bp.conf on the master server for editing:
/usr/openv/netbackup # vi bp.conf
-
Enter FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = media_server_performing_restore
at the bottom of the file; in this example to restore using mediaserver4 only:
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = mediaserver1 mediaserver4FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = mediaserver2 mediaserver4FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = mediaserver3 mediaserver4
-
Create an empty file named: No.Restrictions, at this location on the master server:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames # touch No.Restrictions
NetBackup changes are dynamic, so restarting NetBackup or its services is not required. -
Open bp.conf on the master server for editing:
-
Make these changes for DSA in the BAR Setup portlet:
- Create a new target group to include mediaserver4.
- Create a restore group to map the old target group to the new target group.
- Create a restore job using the new restore target group.
