•

-d

— Specifies the destination directory where the database files will be recovered. If this is not specified, the database is restored to the current Console server database directory.

•

-S

— If the Console server has been moved to a different machine after the last backup, use this option to specify the name of the previous Console server host. The format of the database server name is

gst_on_

<NMC server host name>. <NMC server host name> should be the machines "short name;" for example, if the machine name is

wolf.legato.com, the proper format for this option would be

-S gst_on_wolf

.

4. Restart the Console server.

How to Recover the Console Server Database in a Cluster Environment

If the Console server was configured as a highly available service, use the following steps to recover the Console server database:

1. On the NetWorker server where the database was backed up.

Ensure that you have properly configured the Console virtual client for remote access where the recover operation will be run: a. Start the NetWorker software.

b. From the Administration window, click Configuration.

c. In the left pane, select Clients. d. From the File menu, select Properties and then select the Globals 2 of

2 tab.

e. Make sure that the Remote Access attribute of the Console virtual client for which you want to recover the data contains the name of the physical host you are using to recover the data. For example:

root@physical_hostname

2. Stop the Console virtual service using the cluster software.

3. On the cluster node where recovery will be run: a. Mount the shared disk directory where the Console database is to be recovered.

b. Edit the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

Console_Install_Dir

/sybasa/lib

Where Console_Install_Dir is the directory where the Console software has been installed.

c. Bring the virtual host online.

d. Run the following command to recover the database:

Console_Install_Dir

/bin/recoverpsm -s

NetWorker_Servername

-d

shared_disk_mnt_pnt

/lgto_gstdb -c

Console_Virtual_Servicename

where:

–

Console_Install_Dir is the directory where the Console software has been installed.

–

NetWorker_Servername is the name of the NetWorker server.

–

shared_disk_mnt_pnt is the shared mount point.

– Console_Virtual_Servicename is the servicename of the Console virtual service.

e. Unmount the shared disk directory.

f. Restart the Console service using the cluster software.
