Restoring Edirectory After A Hardware Failure - Novell EDIRECTORY 8.8 - ADMINISTRATION Manual

3 Remove eDirectory from Server B and try the upgrade again.
16.7 Restoring eDirectory after a Hardware
Failure
A hard disk failure involving the disk partition/volume where eDirectory is located is equivalent to
removing eDirectory from the server. (Fortunately, in a multi-server environment, one server can go
down while the rest of the servers in the replica ring remain intact.)
To restore eDirectory after a failure of the disk partition/volume that it resides on, follow the
procedures for restoring from your backup files as described in Section 14.4, "Preparing for a
Restore," on page 393 and "Restoring from Backup Files with iManager" on page 401 (or
"Restoring from Backup Files with the eMBox Client" on page 412).
During the new installation, follow any instructions provided by the manufacturer to verify that the
server's hard disks are working. The new hard disk should have at least the same storage capacity as
the drive it replaces. Use the local server information files to verify configuration information.
NOTE: If you do not have backup files for the server, use the XBrowse tool to query eDirectory to
help you recover server information. You must do this before you remove the Server object or any
associated objects from the tree. XBrowse and additional information are available from Novell
Support, Technical Information Document #2960653 (http://support.novell.com/servlet/tidfinder/
