Restore the generic application backup files from active tier

  • Perform the following steps to restore the generic application backup files recalled from Cloud Tier to active tier on a DD BoostFS file system mounted on a backup host VM.

    1. Log in to the backup host and verify that the generic application backup files exist in the DD BoostFS mount path as shown in the following example:

    For ex:

    [root@backup-host ~]# ls -l /mnt/test_cloud_tier

    total 200278016

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 858993459200 Dec 14 10:37 gadata01.dbf

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 858993459200 Dec 14 09:23 gadata02.dbf

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 755914244096 Dec 14 08:58 galog01.lbf

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 755914244096 Dec 14 10:11 galog02.lbf

    [root@backup-host ~] #

    1. Copy the generic application backup files from the DD BoostFS file system on the backup host VM using the file copy command as follows:

    Use a series of file copy commands as shown in the example below to restore all the relevant generic application files from the backup host VM.

    For example:

    [root@backup-host ~]# CMD="sudo cp /mnt/test_cloud_tier/gadatao1.dbf /u01/data/gadata01.dbf

    [root@backup-host ~]# echo $CMD

    [root@backup-host ~]# time $CMD

    1. Shut down the generic application on the production host VM.
    2. Select multiple volumes mapped to the backup host VM containing the generic application files and take a PowerFlex snapshot of the consistency group.
    3. Map the PowerFlex snapshot consistency group volumes to the production host VM where the generic application is deployed.
    4. Mount the generic application data, log, and archive file system on the production host VM.
    5. Start up the generic application on the production host VM.
