Restoring eDirectory

Restoring a Volume Other Than SYS:
Restoring Volume SYS: in a Single-Server Network
The procedures in the following sections are performed at the beginning of the
restore process.
"Restoring a Volume Other Than SYS:" on page 69
"Restoring Volume SYS: in a Single-Server Network" on page 69
"Restoring Volume SYS: in a Multiple-Server Network" on page 70
"Restoring the Entire eDirectory Tree Structure" on page 72
WARNING:
Do not delete the Volume object for the failed volume from the
eDirectory tree structure. The Volume object preserves any references that other
objects (such as Directory Map and Queue objects) might have to that volume. If
the Volume object is deleted and you have objects that depend on this volume, you
must re-establish the relationships through a selective eDirectory restore. See
"Custom eDirectory Restore" on page
1
Bring down the server.
2
Correct the problem.
3
Bring the server back up and re-create the volume.
4
Perform an advanced file system restore.
See "Customizing Restore" on page 66
Since there are no replicas in a single-server network, you cannot recover any
eDirectory information from a replica. After repairing or replacing the failed
hardware, you must restore the entire NetWare environment, including
eDirectory, from an SMS backup.
To restore a single SYS: volume, do the following.
1
Correct the problem that caused volume SYS: to fail.
2
Reinstall NetWare and eDirectory.
When NWCONFIG asks for the names for Organization objects
immediately under the [Root] object, use the same names that existed
before in the eDirectory tree. Otherwise you will end up with new, empty
containers in the restored eDirectory tree structure.
