Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Administrator's Guide

To roll back to an existing checkpoint from the NetBackup Appliance Web Console

1. Select Manage > Appliance Restore.
2. Click Appliance Rollback.
3. Select an available checkpoint from the Select an appliance checkpoint to rollback the appliance to a specific checkpoint list.

   The list contains only those checkpoints that exist. At most, there can be three checkpoints. A pre-upgrade checkpoint, a post-upgrade checkpoint, and a user-directed checkpoint.

4. Determine if you want to restart the appliance automatically after the rollback operation completes. If you do, check the Restart appliance automatically after rollback check box.
5. Click Preview.

   The Rollback Appliance page updates and shows a the components that are rolled back during the operation. In addition, the appliances that are going to be rolled back are also displayed on the page.

   
6. Click Validate.

   The validation check ensures that all media servers are up and running. If all media servers are running, click Start to roll back to the selected checkpoint.

   

   If the checkpoint validation was unsuccessful, you are not able to start the rollback operation. A link is provided that you can select to view more information about the cause of the issue. You can then, correct that issue, and click Validate. If the validation is successful, click Start.

7. The Rollback Appliance pop-up appears. This pop-up informs you that once you start the rollback process, it is irreversible. Click Yes to proceed with the rollback operation. Click No to stop the rollback process.
   

   Note:

   Once you begin the rollback process, you cannot perform any other functions on the NetBackup Appliance Web Console until the operation completes.

8. The Rollback Appliance status page appears so you can monitor the success of the rollback operation for the appliance.
   

9. After the rollback operation completes the compute appliance must be restarted:

   • If you chose to automatically restart the appliance after the rollback completes, a Restart in progress... pop-up appears. This pop-up window reminds you that the network was reset and connectivity was lost during the Restore process. You must use the remote management port to reconfigure the network settings and reconnect to the NetBackup Appliance Web Console.

   • If you did not choose to automatically restart the appliance after the rollback completes, a Restart Now! window appears. This window prompts you to restart each of the servers that were selected to be rolled back. Click OK to restart the appliance to complete the rollback operation.
