Verify the Volume Details in the Session

Verify the volume details in the session that you want to restore. You can see the source volume, file system, file size, and mount information in the output.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log into the target node.
  2. If the recovery points are in a local or shared folder, use the following command to verify the volume information:
    d2drestorevol --command=info --storage-path=<local_path> --node=<node_name> --rp=<recovery_point>
    
    --command=info

    Specifies that the volume details of the session will be displayed.

    --storage-path

    Specifies the path we determined in the Prerequisites topic. For more information, see Review the Prerequisites and Considerations.

    --node

    Specifies the source node that was backed up.

    --rp

    Specifies the recovery point or recovery session that you want to restore. Typically, a recovery point is in the following format: S00000000X, where X is a numeric value.

    The output is displayed.

  3. If the recovery points are in a RPS data store, use the following command to verify the volume information:
    d2drestorevol --command=info --storage-path=<rps_path> --node="<node_name>[UUID_number]" --rp=<recovery_point> --rps-host=<host_name> --rps-user=<user_name> --rps-pw=<rps_password> --rps-protocal=<internet_secutity_protocol> --rps-port=<port_number> --rps-dedup
    

    The following command is an example for a deduplication enabled data store:

    d2drestorevol --command=info --storage-path=/root/rpsshare --node="xx.xx.xx.xx[11111aa-22bb-33cc-yyyy-4c4c4c4c]" --rp=VStore/S0000000001 --rps-host=machine_name --rps-user=administrator --rps-pw=******** --rps-protocol=https --rps-port=8014 --rps-dedup

    --command=info

    Specifies that the volume details of the session will be displayed.

    --storage-path

    Specifies the path we determined in the Prerequisites topic. For more information, see Review the Prerequisites and Considerations.

    --node

    Specifies the source node that was backed up in the following format:

    <node name>[<uuid>]

    --rp

    Specifies the recovery point or recovery session that you want to restore from an RPS data store. Typically, a recovery point session from a RPS data store must be specified in the following format:

    VStore/S00000000X, where X is a numeric value

    -- rps-host

    Specifies the host name of the RPS where the recovery session are stored.

    -- rps-user

    Specifies the user name to access the RPS host.

    -- rps-pw

    Specifies the password to access the RPS host.

    -- rps-protocol

    Specifies the protocol for the RPS host. The protocol is ether http or https.

    -- rps-port

    Specifies the port number of the RPS host.

    -- rps-dedup

    Specifies the data store has deduplication enabled. This parameter is required only when the the data store has enabled deduplication.

    -- ds-share-folder

    Specifies the shared path of the data store. This parameter is required only when the the data store has disabled deduplication.

    -- ds-user

    Specifies the user name for accessing the shared path of the data store.

    -- ds-user-pw

    Specifies the password for accessing the shared path of the data store.

    -- ds-pw

    Specifies the data encryption password if the data store also has enabled encryption.

    The output is displayed.

The volume details are verified.
