3.3.1.- DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS PROGRAMAS

Using any other method to cancel a recovery in progress can corrupt the database being recovered. If you cancel a recovery, rerun it to ensure that the database files are successfully recovered.

Lotus disaster recovery

This section provides instructions for disaster recovery in the event that any of the following are damaged or lost:

◆ Lotus transaction logs

◆ Lotus Notes client

◆ Domino server data or binaries

◆ NML binaries

Chapter 7, “Multiple Installations, Partitioned Domino Servers, and Cluster Support” provides information on disaster recovery

procedures for partitioned Domino servers.

The NetWorker Disaster Recovery Guide provides more information on using NetWorker software for disaster recovery.

Lotus disaster recovery ^5-19

Recovery of a Lotus installation and databases

To recover a computer that has lost the Lotus installation and databases:

1. Reinstall the Lotus Notes client or Domino server in the same location as before, but do not configure it.

2. Recover the notes.ini file by using the nsrnotesrc command with the parameter setting NSR_NO_NOTES_INIT = TRUE in the NML configuration file.

For example, to recover the notes.ini file on Windows:

a. Ensure that the NML configuration file contains the following parameter settings:

NSR_SERVER = NetWorker_server_name

NSR_BACKUP_PATHS = C:\Lotus\Domino\notes.ini NSR_NO_NOTES_INIT = TRUE

b. Enter the nsrnotesrc command to perform the recovery:

nsrnotesrc -z config_filepath

c. When prompted whether to overwrite the current notes.ini file, enter y. (To prevent the prompting, you can set the parameter NSR_RECOV_INTERACT = Y in the configuration file.)

3. Recover all the databases by using the NOTES: option. You must recover the databases to a new location by using the nsrnotesrc command with the parameter setting NSR_RELOCATION_DEST

= destination_path in the NML configuration file.

For example, to recover all the databases:

a. Ensure that the NML configuration file contains the following parameter settings:

NSR_SERVER = NetWorker_server_name NSR_BACKUP_PATHS = NOTES:

NSR_RELOCATION_DEST = destination_pathname b. Enter the nsrnotesrc command to perform the recovery:

nsrnotesrc -z config_filepath

4. After the databases are recovered, copy them to the Lotus data directory, and start the Lotus Notes client or Domino server.

5. Once the disaster recovery process is complete, perform a full backup of the Domino server to avoid any future loss of data.

Recovery of a Lotus installation, databases, and transaction logs

To recover database backups up to the last committed transaction in the archived transaction logs, the following requirements must be met:

◆ The Domino server to be recovered must have had Lotus transactional logging enabled and set to Archive style.

◆ A backup of an up-to-date notes.ini file is available for the Domino server.

◆ A set of recoverable database backup files is available.

◆ The archived log extents (transaction log files) are backed up and available, from the time of the last full backup.

To recover a computer that has lost the Lotus installation, databases, and transaction logs:

1. Reinstall the Domino server in the same location as before, but do not configure it.

2. Recover the Domino notes.ini file by using the nsrnotesrc command with the parameter setting NSR_NO_NOTES_INIT = TRUE in the NML configuration file.

For example, to recover the notes.ini file on Windows:

a. Ensure that the NML configuration file contains the following parameter settings:

NSR_SERVER = NetWorker_server_name

NSR_BACKUP_PATHS = C:\Lotus\Domino\notes.ini NSR_NO_NOTES_INIT = TRUE

b. Enter the nsrnotesrc command to perform the recovery:

nsrnotesrc -z config_filepath

c. When prompted whether to overwrite the current notes.ini file, enter y. (To prevent the prompting, you can set the parameter NSR_RECOV_INTERACT = Y in the configuration file.)

Lotus disaster recovery ^5-21 3. Check the Domino notes.ini file to determine the original log

directory for the server, as specified by the TRANSLOG_Path setting. Ensure that this directory exists and it contains no old files.

4. Recover the last archived log extent backed up since the last full backup. Recover the log file to a temporary directory by using the nsrnotesrc command with the following restore parameters set in the NML configuration file:

NSR_NO_NOTES_INIT = TRUE NSR_NUMBER_LOGS = 1

NSR_RELOCATION_DEST = temporary_directory_path For example, to recover the archived log file to the temporary directory D:\temp\Lotus directory on Windows:

a. Ensure that the NML configuration file contains the following parameter settings:

NSR_NO_NOTES_INIT = TRUE NSR_NUMBER_LOGS = 1

NSR_RELOCATION_DEST = D:\temp\Lotus

b. Enter the nsrnotesrc command to perform the recovery:

nsrnotesrc -z config_filepath

5. Copy the recovered log files from the temporary directory to the original log directory for the server, as specified by the

TRANSLOG_Path setting.

6. Enable the creation of the control file by setting the following parameter in the Domino notes.ini file:

TRANSLOG_Recreate_Logctrl=1

7. Prepare the data directory by first recovering all of the required database files into a temporary directory.

8. After the databases are recovered, copy them to the Lotus data directory.

9. For a Domino server on Windows, copy the recovered notes.ini file to its original directory. By default, the notes.ini file is not located in the data directory.

10. Start the Domino server.

11. Once the disaster recovery process is complete, perform a full backup of the Domino server to avoid any future loss of data.
