  Tutorial: Community Submission: A Recovery CD for the Solaris OS and VERITAS NetBackup Software

Build a recovery CD to restore root file systems using VERITAS NetBackup software, without having to install the OS on an alternate boot disk or configure and use a Solaris JumpStart server. (Submitted by a BigAdmin reader.)

Tutorial Details:

This paper documents a method for building and using a recovery CD for the Solaris Operating System. This CD can be used to restore root file systems without having to install the OS on an alternate boot disk or configure and use a Solaris JumpStart server (as described in the BigAdmin Community-Submitted document "Restoring the Solaris OS From VERITAS NetBackup Software").

The BigAdmin Community-Submitted article "UberJS: A More Flexible Solaris JumpStart System" provided much of the information regarding the modification of the Solaris installation CD that is used in this process. If for some reason this process does not work in your environment, I would suggest reviewing these documents, as well as the documents they reference, for ideas.

The basic idea is to build a bootable CD that will allow the installation of the VERITAS NetBackup client software. Since some of the files in /etc directory will remain "read only", it is necessary to add entries that the NetBackup client installation won't be able to customize. To provide a file system to install the NetBackup client software, the host's swap partition will be formatted with newfs and mounted as /usr/openv.

This process assumes a fairly basic NetBackup configuration with a single NetBackup master server that is also the only media server as well. This process is not suited for situations where the target server is also a NetBackup media server although other ways to make it work may exist in this situation as well.
