NetWorker Server State

NetWorker 19.8 onwards, you can put the NetWorker server into a specified state. Various actions will be allowed or denied depending on the state of the NetWorker server.

This is done to prevent the user and the system from performing unwanted actions by having the server state as a guard.

The states are:

State Description User Selectable Allowed State Actions Disallowed State Actions
Initiating This indicates that the current state is unknown due to a recent daemon start. No Nothing Actions dependent on a state
Changing When changing from one state to another (with exception of Initiating to the next state), the state will be represented as changing until the server has completed the action. No Nothing Actions dependent on a state
Active The expected normal run state of NetWorker to allow regular NetWorker functionality. Yes Everything Disaster recovery (media db recovery)
Disaster Recovery or Cyber Recovery For handling NetWorker server oriented recovery. Yes Media database recovery Recover space

The server state is controlled through an attribute called server state in the NSR resource. The default value is active.

Figure 1. NetWorker Server State

You can set up a state for the server to start in through an environment variable called NSR_SERVER_STATE. On unix, this is best added to /nsr/nsrrc.
