Recovering eel:/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media
Recover eel:/usr/openv/volmgr/database y/n (n)? y
Recovering eel:/usr/openv/volmgr/database
You can also use the -dhost option to restore from a media server to the master (for
example, if the master does not have a drive).
Figure 5. Recover Media Server Databases
5. After recovering databases for the master and all media servers, start the following:
◆ bprd (NetBackup request daemon)
◆ bpdbm (NetBackup database manager daemon)
◆ ltid (Media Manager device daemon)
◆ vmd (Media Manager volume daemon)
Use the following commands:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/initbprd
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid
(Note that initbprd starts bpdbm and ltid starts vmd.)
Recover DB from Tape or Optical: Media Manager DB Intact
If the NetBackup database backup is on tape or optical disk and the Media Manager
database files are intact, you can recover the databases by using a drive configured under
Media Manager control as follows:
Disk
8 mm tape drive
(/dev/rmt/1cbn)
Master Server
shark
Media with database
backups (media ID
JBL29)
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media
/usr/openv/volmgr/database
Media Server
eel
Disk
/usr/openv/netbackup/db
/usr/openv/volmgr/database
