Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery 19.13 Product Guide

Preparing the production-side Avamar system

Optionally, create a checkpoint before performing a Secure Copy policy operation.

1. Log in to the production Avamar server as root user and run a checkpoint operation. This step might take some time.
   1. Type su admin -c "mcserver.sh --flush":

      root@ave-03:~/#: su admin -c "mcserver.sh --flush"
      === BEGIN === check.mcs (preflush)
      check.mcs                        passed
      === PASS === check.mcs PASSED OVERALL (preflush)
      Flushing Administrator Server...
      Administrator Server flushed.

   2. Type mccli checkpoint create:

      root@ave-03:~/#: mccli checkpoint create
      0,22624,Starting to create a server checkpoint.
       
      root@ave-03:~/#: mccli checkpoint show
      0,23000,CLI command completed successfully.
      Tag               Time                    Validated Deletable

      cp.20180316130301 2018-03-16 09:03:01 EDT           No
      cp.20180316151143 2018-03-16 11:11:43 EDT           No

   3. To ensure that a checkpoint validation (hfscheck) has verified the integrity of the checkpoint, type mccli checkpoint validate --cptag=<cp tag name>:

      root@ave-03:~/#: mccli checkpoint validate --cptag=cp.20180316151143
      0,22612,Starting to validate a server checkpoint.

2. On the Cyber Recovery host, run a Secure Copy policy action for the DD MTree.
3. Validate the size of the production DD system MTree that was replicated is the same as the replicated MTree on the destination DD system and the Cyber Recovery MTree (for example: /data/col1/avamar-1560177494-repl).
   1. Type mtree list, as shown in the following code example:

      sysadmin@crmgmthost# mtree list
      Name                                                 Pre-Comp (GiB)   Status
      --------------------------------------------------   --------------   -------
      /data/col1/avamar-1560177494-repl                                  4.2   RO/RD
      /data/col1/backup                                               0.0   RW
      /data/col1/cr-policy-5d5ad66394422f0001ced229-repo              0.0   RW/RLGE
      /data/col1/cr-policy-5d5ad69994422f0001ced22a-repo              4.2   RW/RLGE
      /data/col1/nw02-repl                                            0.0   RO/RD
      --------------------------------------------------   --------------   -------
       D    : Deleted
       Q    : Quota Defined
       RO   : Read Only
       RW   : Read Write
       RD   : Replication Destination
       RLGE : Retention-Lock Governance Enabled
       RLGD : Retention-Lock Governance Disabled
       RLCE : Retention-Lock Compliance Enabled

   2. Verify that the production-, target-, and policy-replicated MTrees are the same.
