Backup and Restore of Lotus Domino/Notes Cluster using Data Protector

HP OpenView Storage Data Protector

Backup & Restore of Lotus Domino Cluster using Data Protector

Manager and Data Protector media agent will be defined at the time of Data

Protector configuration.

The next step will be to configure the Data Protector Lotus Notes Integration. For

more information about configuring Lotus integration with Data Protector 5.10,

please refer to the section “Configuring the Integration” in the chapter “Integrating

Lotus Domino R5 Server and Data Protector” of “HP OpenView Storage Data

Protector Integration Guide”. For Data Protector 5.50, please refer to the section

“Configuring the Integration” in chapter “Integrating Lotus Notes/Domino Server

and Data Protector” of “HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Integration Guide for

IBM Applications”.

7. Backup

The replica database from a Domino server should be backed up in the same way

as normal Domino database. For the detailed information about backup of Domino

database with Data Protector 5.10, please refer to the chapter “Backing up Lotus

Domino R5 Server” in the chapter “Integrating Lotus Domino R5 Server and Data

Protector” of “HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Integration Guide”. For Data

Protector 5.50, please refer to the section “Backing Up Lotus Notes/Domino Server”

in chapter “Integrating Lotus Notes/Domino Server and Data Protector” of “HP

OpenView Storage Data Protector Integration Guide for IBM Applications”.

Unlike with Operating System clusters there are no virtual hostnames or virtual IP

addresses involved with the Domino cluster, so when creating a Data Protector

backup specification common physical hostnames should be selected for the backed

up source databases. The Domino servers which will be used for backup should be

added in the Data Protector cell, and if it is planned to restore Domino databases to

other Domino servers containing replicas of these databases, then these Domino

servers should also be added in the Data Protector cell.

8. Restore and recovery

Following are the typical cases considered when doing restore of the Domino

databases.

8.1. Restore of the replica database without recovery

In this case the Replica database(s) is restored to the state as it was during the

backup time. The contents of archive logs are ignored and recovery to the last state

is not performed.
