152 EMC NetWorker Release 8.1 SP1 Installation Guide
Downgrade to a Previous Release
Restoring the database conversion backup files
Before the Console server database conversion, the update process created a backup
copy of the pre-NetWorker 8.1 Console server database files.
Use the backup copy of the Console server database files to restore the Console server to
the point-in-time before the update:
1. Stop the EMC gstd daemon.
2. In the Console server database directory, rename the current Console server database
files.
For example, rename:
lgto_gst.db to lgto_gst.db.old
gstd_db.conf to gstd_db.conf.old
lgto_gst.log to lgto_gst.log.old
By default, the location of the Console database directory is:
• C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\Management\lgto_gstdb on Windows
• opt/lgtonmc/lgto_gstdb on AIX and Linux
• /opt/LGTOnmc/lgto_gstdb on Solaris.
3. Rename the Console server database backup files in the Console database directory.
For example, rename:
• gstd_db_bk.conf to gstd_db.conf
• lgto_gst_bk.db to lgto_gst.db
• lgto_gst_bk.log to lgto_gst.log
4. Start the EMC gstd daemon.
Recovering the Console server database from a backup
To recover the Console server database from a backup:
1. Stop the EMC gstd daemon.
2. From a command prompt on the Console server, type:
recoverpsm -s NetWorker_server -t date -f
where:
•
NetWorker_server specifies the name of the NetWorker server that performed the
Console server database backup.
•
date specifies a date when you backed up the Console server before the upgrade.

When you do not stop the EMC gstd daemon before the recover, the recoverpsm
command fails with an error message similar to the following: “recoverpsm: FAILED
08001[Sybase][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Database name not unique -77 ”
3. Start the EMC gstd daemon.
