Introduction 5

Introduction

This document describes the steps necessary to recover your Dell™

PowerVault™ Data Protection Solution from a number of hardware or

software failures. Depending on the type of failure, you experience, you may

need to:

• Recover from disk failures

• Reinstall the operating system

• Reinstall Dell™ OpenManage™ system management applications

• Reinstall the Data Protection Solution Configuration Wizard

• Reinstall Microsoft

System Center Data Protection Manager

(DPM) 2007

• Recover the DPM server's recovery point data

NOTE: Prior to performing the recovery steps in this document, review the Dell

PowerVault Data Protection Solution Information Update for the latest information.

NOTE: For documents and recovery media referenced in this guide, see the Dell

PowerVault Data Protection Solution Quick Reference Guide at support.dell.com.

Recovery Solution Map 7

Recovery Solution Map

This document is comprised of sections describing specific recovery topics

and procedures. Table 2-1 shows how each failure type potentially affects the

various DPM components, and which section in this document is applicable

to the specific failure type.

As you explore different failure/recovery scenarios, keep the following

guidelines in mind:

• Re-installation of the operating system usually requires you to reinstall all

of the applications on your system.

• A non-recoverable failure of the RAID group containing the operating

system will require reinstallation of the operating system and all

applications

• A non-recoverable failure of the RAID group containing one or more DPM

replicas requires restoration of the replicas on that RAID group from tape,

or a secondary DPM server.

Recovering From Disk Failures 9

Recovering from Disk Failures

Your system's internal disk storage has been pre-configured as RAID 5.

Additionally, as described in the Dell PowerVault Data Protection Solution

Storage Expansion Guide, any additional disks you add to your system will be

configured as RAID 5.

RAID 5 provides uninterrupted operation of your system in the event a single

disk drive in the group fails. However, until the failed disk drive has been

replaced, your system will operate in degraded state. During this degraded

state, another disk failure within the same RAID group will cause loss of all

data in that RAID group. Therefore, it is extremely important to monitor the

status of your system's disks and to replace any failed disk within the same

RAID group as quickly as possible.

Detecting and Monitoring Disk Failures

To optimize the protection of RAID 5-configured storage on your system, it is

essential that you are able to detect hard drive failures immediately as they

occur. Replacing failed disks as soon as possible reduces the risk of unplanned

downtime and loss of critical data.

The following methods can be used to monitor the health of your system's

physical disks.

RAID Adapter Audible Alarm

Refer to the "Enabling the Alarm to Alert in Case of Physical Disk Failures"

section of the Dell™ PowerEdge™ Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) User's

Guide for more information on how to configure the audible alarm. Note that

this feature is not available on all PERC adapters. Refer to your specific

PERC adapter documentation to determine whether this feature is

supported.

OpenManage™ Server Administrator

Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator (OMSA) can monitor the health

of both internal and external disks. Refer to "Replacing Disks" in this chapter

for more information.

10 Recovering From Disk Failures

Figure 3-1 shows how disk status is reported in OMSA.

Figure 3-1. Physical disk status

Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant

Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant is a central monitoring console, which can

be used to monitor the status of your Dell systems running OMSA. Refer to

the Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant User's Guide for more information on

installing and using IT Assistant.

Replacing Disks

When replacing hard drives, only use hard drives included in the Dell

PowerVault Data Protection Solution Support Matrix. Be sure to replace the

failed disk drive with a new disk of the same capacity. Refer to the "Disk Size

Selection and Considerations" section of the Dell PowerVault Data Protection

Solution Storage Expansion Guide for additional details.
