Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery 19.15 Product Guide

Creating the NetWorker DD Boost user/UID for recovery

Before performing a NetWorker recovery, create the DD Boost account that is associated with the copy in the Cyber Recovery vault.

1. To determine the UID required for recovery, log in to the CRCLI and run the following command on the management host:

   # crcli login -u <Cyber Recovery user>
   # crcli policy list-copy --policyname <policy name> -c <copy name>

   Note the output from this command, as shown in the following example:

   # Source Storage UID:  503 

2. To determine if the account exists for this UID, log in to the DD system in the Cyber Recovery vault and run the following command:

   # user show list

   • If the output lists the UID, you can proceed with the recovery procedure.
   • If the output does not show that the UID exists, go to the next step.
3. Create the UID:
   1. When adding the application asset, if you defined a tag, reference the tag to determine the production system DD Boost username.
   2. Create the username and account by running the following command:

      # user add <NetWorker_ddboostname> uid <UID from user show list output> 

   3. For earlier versions, run the user add command until you get the UID required for recovery. For example, if you have a UID 510, you might have to create up to nine temp accounts. Note that user add on the DD system starts at UID 500.
