Restoring Storage Array Settings

5 To activate the disaster recovery process and restore settings from the DRF,
type:
recoverSystemHeadFromDisasterRecoveryFile <name of
disaster recovery file>
6 To reboot the NAS server, and complete the recovery process, type:
doSystemReboot
When a storage array is replaced, the recovery process attempts to format
the replacement array(s) to have the same LUN and volume group
configuration as the current NAS registry indicates. After the storage array is
recovered, restore user data from backup tape.
Note SAN configurations cannot be automatically recovered,
however, information pertinent to the recovery is saved in the
DISASTER_RECOVERY volume. This information may be used to
manually recovery the SAN storage configuration.
1 Shut down the NAS server and connect the new storage array(s):
— If you have a direct-attach configuration, follow the installation
instructions in the
to connect the array(s).
— If you have a SAN configuration, follow the instructions in the array
users guide to connect the array(s).
2 Access the command line interface to run disaster recovery commands:
— Connect a laptop with terminal emulation software to the server.
Connect an RS232 null-modem to the Management Port on the server.
— Use the terminal emulator to log in. Use the following settings:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
— Press Enter until you see the system name and login prompt, as shown
here, then log in as admin. No password is required.
