3. Use NDS Manager or dsrepair to check the replica synchronization.

If you see error messages, wait a few minutes and try again.

4. From the NetWorker server, perform a directed recover to restore the

failed server’s Server Specific Info (SSI) files from a tape backup to a

functioning NetWorker for NetWare client.

The server-specific information files (SERVDATA.NDS, VOLSINFO.TXT,

STARTUP.NCF, and AUTOEXEC.NCF) are restored to a subdirectory

under SYS:\SYSTEM on the server you selected. This subdirectory is

given a DOS 8.3 name derived from the source server name.

5. If the failed server held a master replica, use NDS Manager or dsrepair to

designate a new master replica on a different server in the replica ring.

6. Use NDS Manager or dsrepair to perform an unattended full repair to

check replica synchronization. If necessary, use NDS Manager or dsrepair

on the servers containing master replicas to remove the failed server from

the replica ring.

7. Shut down the failed server and replace any damaged server hardware. If

you replace a hard drive, be sure that it is the same size or larger.

8. Format the DOS partitions and reinstall DOS.

Important: Use the DOS Time command to ensure that the computer is set to

the correct time to avoid time synchronization errors.

9. Reinstall NetWare 4.10 and NDS on the repaired or replaced server. Run

install or nwconfig, select Custom Install, and follow the directions on the

screen. Use the STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files recovered with

SSI to answer the questions displayed on the screen.

– Enter the same server name and internal IPX number that the server

had prior to the disaster.

– When prompted, insert the NetWare License diskette for the server

into the disk drive.

– When prompted for the name of the NDS tree, select the name of the

tree that the server resided in before the disaster.

– Select the time zone and configure the time.
