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.
;( ;( ;(

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

Hi @criley
I didn't see start networking option when i booted SRD.
Please see attached file for the options i've seen.
By the way, what ports does the VSR-L 18 using?
Does below link applies to Linux also?

I'm checking on these points, will get back to you on this.

To configure the network card/ip address, I believe you can use the ifconfig command for this.

Hi @criley
It works!
Thank you so so so much for the help!
The ff commands were carried out.
# ifconfig -a
# ifconfig etho <IP address>
//where etho is the name of network interface
# ifconfig etho netmask <Netmask>
# route add default gw <default gateway> etho
//set the default gateway
# ping <IP Address Storage>
//test the connection of the storage
Have a nice Day! :)
