Recover Cell Server with Enhanced Automated Disaster Recovery

Posted on by 12 Comments

In article EADR with Windows 2008 R2 I described how to use Data Protector EADR for a Windows 2008 R2 server. I also described in former articles that you should be prepared when your Cell Server crashs. To be able to do EADR for your Cell Server I wrote a small script, which allows you to create the needed ISO file, which can be used to recover your Cell Server to the latest state. The Batch file can be downloaded below. The script will be implemented as Post-exec script in the backup of the IDB (for settings see below), in the configured path the ISO will be generated, including the information for the used media during the backup. All stuff within this article is valid for a Cell Manager on Windows 2008 R2. [wpdm_file id=9] It is recommended to test that solution at least once. You may use a imaging

Prepare and execute EADR – Cell Server on Windows 2012 R2 and Data Protector 9.06

Posted on by 17 Comments

In the past I often informed about the free EADR feature in Data Protector to recover clients and cell server. The last time I wrote an article in 2014 including two small scripts to get things prepared and automated – see https://www.data-protector.org/wordpress/2014/04/eadr-cell-server-dp-8-1x-windows-2012-r2/. However, the batch files got broken due to changes for omniiso and so it was time to fix this problem, providing new batches and delivering a complete picture of disaster recovery for Data Protector Cell Manager. Get inspired for your choice of disaster recovery; the new batches can be found at the end of this article. All content applies to Cell manager running on Windows with current Data Protector version 9.06 Preparation: Plan the required steps Consider which Media Agents and devices to be used in case you need to execute EADR Select the desired DR method Document the media where IDB (backup Cell Manager) was written to.

EADR and Tape Block Size

Posted on by

In older articles I often wrote about Bare Metal Recovery, a feature included in Data Protector without any additional costs and called Enhanced Automated Disaster Recovery (EADR) – see https://www.data-protector.org/wordpress/?s=eadr. To recover the Cell Server (see link) I always told to use tape devices with a block size of 64K. With Data Protector 9.0X and Windows 2008 / Windows 2012 this is no longer required, the limitation is no longer listed in the Data Protector handbooks. Sebastian Köhler (see http://www.syncer.de) has tested EADR for a Cell Server with a higher block size. He made the tests with SAS / FC libraries, StoreOnce and file libraries. So, you no longer need separate tape drives to backup your Cell Server, this makes the administration more easier. And an additional comment from Sebastian, the parameter -anyobj for the command omniiso is back and available with Data Protector 9.0X. For additional details, please review
