Enabling AltaVault for disaster recovery
To recover your configuration to an AltaVault at site B
1.
Log in to the appliance using the admin account using the serial console. If you are using a virtual AltaVault
appliance, use the VM console.
2.
You can now configure the management IP address using the Configuration Wizard.
3.
Use the IP address to connect to the appliance UI using a browser.
4.
Log in to the appliance as
admin
. Provide the password configured during step 2.
5.
Choose Settings > Setup Wizard.
6.
Run the System Settings wizard to set the time zone to the same time zone as that of the original appliance.
7.
Start the Import Configuration wizard.
8.
Import to AltaVault in Site B, the configuration exported from the appliance in Site A:
Use the checkbox, Import Shared Data Only, if you are importing settings to a new AltaVault appliance. If you
have configured the encryption key with an encryption key passphrase on the AltaVault in Site A, enter that
passphrase into the encryption key passphrase field. After the import occurs, ensure that the new appliance in Site
B uses the same cloud provider credentials, bucket name, and encryption key that Site A uses.
For more information on wizard related steps, see
Chapter 3, “Using the AltaVault configuration wizards.”
9.
To perform disaster recovery after a lost primary site, connect to the CLI by logging in as
admin
using SSH, and
enter the following CLI commands:
amnesiac > enable
amnesiac # configure terminal
amnesiac (config) # no service enable
amnesiac (config) # datastore format local
amnesiac (config) # replication recovery enable
amnesiac (config) # service enable
amnesiac (config) # show service
Data restoration for disaster recovery
The process for restoring data from AltaVault after a disaster is similar to the process for restoring data from AltaVault
under normal conditions. However, because none of the data is local after recovering the AltaVault configuration on a
new appliance, AltaVault must recover the data back from cloud storage when requested by the backup application or
user accessing the files.
Data is recovered serially as designated by read requests of the files from the SMB shares, OST shares, SnapMirror
shares, or NFS mounts. To speed up the recovery process, you can prepopulate data to the cache, which allows
AltaVault to request recovery of data segments in parallel. For more information, see
“Restoring data from the cloud
using the prepopulation page” on page 252
.
