(Restoring eDirectory during
“3. Restoring eDirectory Information for a Server Replacement”
on page 574
will put Server B into the original tree that Server A was in.)
(NetWare only) Be aware of the issues involved with preserving file system rights when
restoring file system data as part of replacing a server. You should plan to restore eDirectory
before restoring the file system. You might also need to take additional steps, as explained in
“Preserving Rights When Restoring File System Data on NetWare” on page 436
.
Continue with the steps in the next section,
“2. Creating a Backup of eDirectory” on page 574
.
2. Creating a Backup of eDirectory
You must create a backup of eDirectory prior to a server replacement. After completing
“1.
Preparing for a Server Replacement” on page 573
, use the eMBox Client to do a cold backup of the
eDirectory database on Server A, using the advanced options to disable and lock the database after
the backup.
To create a cold backup (a backup done while the database is closed) of eDirectory and keep the
database closed afterward:
1
Make sure you have completed
“1. Preparing for a Server Replacement” on page 573
.
2
Do a cold backup of the eDirectory database on Server A and keep the database closed and
locked when finished, by using a backup command like the following in the eMBox Client with
the -c, -o, and -d switches:
backup -f
backup_filename_and_path
-l
log_filename_and_path
-t -c -o -d
If you use NICI, make sure you back up the NICI files. (See
“Backing Up Manually with the
eMBox Client” on page 454
and
“Backup and Restore Command Line Options” on page 465
for more information about using the eMBox Client and the switches.)
Server A's eDirectory database is now locked. You must leave it locked so that no new data
changes will be made on that server until you bring it back into the tree by restoring onto Server
B.
Complete the rest of the server upgrade or replacement procedure promptly, to minimize the
amount of time that the server is unavailable.
3
Make a full backup of Server A's file system. (For NetWare, you can use SMS.)
It's important to do the file system backup
after
backing up the database, so that the eDirectory
backup files are saved to tape along with the rest of the file system.
For complete information on using SMS, see the
Storage Management Services Administration
Guide
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw65/smsadmin/data/hjc2z4tu.html)
.
4
Lock the eDirectory database on Server A and unplug Server A from the network.
Continue with the steps in
“3. Restoring eDirectory Information for a Server Replacement” on
page 574
.
3. Restoring eDirectory Information for a Server Replacement
To transfer Server A's eDirectory identity and file system to Server B:
1
Make sure you have completed
“1. Preparing for a Server Replacement” on page 573
and
“2.
Creating a Backup of eDirectory” on page 574
.
2
Make sure Server B is up and eDirectory is running.
