How to Recover Corrupted Linux using Veritas System Recovery 18

Good Day.

I have to test how to recover a corrupted linux system using VSR18 for linux. Below are the specs of the unit.

OS: Rhel 7.3

Disk: 2x500 GB (Raid 1)

I already peformed a backup of all volumes before corrupting the system. After corrupting the file system, the 2 disks (sda and sdb) became unknown, LVM disk (for OS) was gone. LVM disk (for swap) was also gone.

With this i would like to know if what steps i will take to recover the system.

Question

1. Do i have to partition first the unknown disks (sda and sdb)? Boot was located at the the 2 disks and create a LVM partition afterwards?

2. Was the Raid 1 Configuration already gone due to corruption?

      Hi criley

      Thanks for the help.

      The backup was stored in the network share (NFS).

      I booted the veritas SRD and skipped to no.3 Shell.

      I started the network using the command: #systemctl start network.service but it failed.

      I searched for answers but unavailable to have one, i'm a newbie in linux environment.

      Any inputs on how to start the network? Badly needed, few more days, i'll be deploying the system but my restoration testing is not yet OK.

        HelloHello

        When you boot the SRD, one of the options during the boot process is to start networking. Have you tried that yet?
