How to redo a NetBackup AIR replication from source to target
This document is intended to assist with re-doing a replication from source to target in a NetBackup AIR configuration. This is useful in situations where the target's data has been lost. The commands below will identify which backup id's were replicated and write those backup id's to a temporary file (/tmp/bidlist.out). Then, we can take the backup id's from the file and use "nbstlutil redo -backupid <id> -slpindex <index>" to redo the replication operation for that backup id. Since the command only takes 1 backup id at a time, it may be beneficial to script the execution of "nbstlutil redo".
# nbstlutil repllist | awk '{print $4}' | sort | uniq > /tmp/bidlist.out
# nbstlutil list -lifecycle <SLP_Name> | awk '{print $4}' | sort | uniq > /tmp/bidlist.out
# nbstl <SLP_name> -L
Look for the line that says "replication to remote master". Below that line is a line that says "Operation Index". Use this number in the next step for -slpindex.
