Greetings all,
We've got Solaris 2.6, Solstice Backup 5.0.231. We're trying to create a
clone of one of our servers for development. We have a backup server
controlling a Spectralogic Tape Library. The target hardware (jabbarclone) is
identical to that of the source (jabbar). As I understand it, I should be
able to restore the backup files from jabbar to jabbarclone by doing the
following:
Install Solstice Backup on jabbarclone. Create client information for
jabbarclone using nwadmin (I have the 'jabbarclone' and its fully qualified
host name as an alias here in case that's important). Stop the daemons.
Delete the indexes ('jabbarclone' was created in case that's important)
created for jabbarclone from /nsr/index/. 'cp' or 'mv' the source index files
to the target, in this case, 'cp -pr /nsr/index/jabbar
/nsr/index/jabbarclone'. Start the daemons. Restore using nwrestore on
jabbarclone.
Now, I can see all the files available to restore in nwrestore from
jabbarclone, however, when I start the restore, all the volumes needed report
"Unknown" rather than "All Online". And I'm asked for a clone tape from two
years ago (even though all the selected files have a backup time no older than
our last full backup).
What have I overlooked here? Is there a way to help Solstice Backup
'remember' on which tapes this data can be found?
Very much thanks in advance,
Brett
