Prerequisites
Make sure the eMBoxClient.jar file is on the machine you want to initiate the restore from.
The file is installed on your server as part of eDirectory. You can copy it from there and run it
on any machine with Sun JVM 1.3.1. You can do restores for multiple servers from a single
machine if you have access behind the firewall. For more information, see
Section 20.1, “Using
the eMBox Command Line Client,” on page 588
.
Gather all the backup files you need for a restore and place them in a directory on the server
you are restoring to.
See
Section 16.4, “Preparing for a Restore,” on page 442
and
“Locating the Right Backup Files
for a Restore” on page 443
.
Make sure eDirectory is installed and running on the server you are restoring to.
For example, if the restore is necessary because of a failed storage device, you need to do a new
installation of eDirectory on the new storage device. If you are restoring a failed server onto a
brand new machine, or simply moving a server from one machine to another, you need to
install both the operating system and eDirectory on the new machine.
Review the description of the command line options in
“Backup and Restore Command Line
Options” on page 465
.
Review the description of the restore process in
“Overview of How the Backup eMTool Does a
Restore” on page 428
.
(NetWare only) Be aware of the issues involved with preserving file system rights when
restoring file system data and eDirectory. You should restore eDirectory before restoring the
file system data. You also might need to take additional steps, as explained in
“Preserving
Rights When Restoring File System Data on NetWare” on page 436
.
Procedure
To restore an eDirectory database on a server using the eMBox Client:
1
Make sure you have gathered the backup files you need, as described in
Section 16.4,
“Preparing for a Restore,” on page 442
.
2
Run the eMBox Client in interactive mode:
NetWare and UNIX: At the command line, enter
edirutil -i
.
Windows: Run
drive
\novell\nds\edirutil.exe -i
The edirutil file gives you a shortcut to running the eMBox Client. It points to the Java
executable and the default location where the eMBox Client is installed with eDirectory, and
for NetWare, it includes the necessary -ns option. (You can also enter the information manually,
as described in
“Running the eMBox Client on a Workstation” on page 589
.)
When the eMBox Client opens, the eMBox Client prompt appears: eMBox Client>
3
Log in to the server you want to restore by entering
login -s
server_name_or_IP_address
-p
port_number
-u
username.context
-w
password
For example, on Windows enter
login -s 151.155.111.1 -p 8009 -u admin.mycompany -w mypassword
