Executing Cleanroom Control Plane Recovery

You can execute the orchestration command line tool from an air-gapped node to automatically deploy your isolated recovery environment and restore your control plane.

Prerequisites

  • You must log on to the HyperScale X node using the cvbackupadmin credentials.

  • An isolated VMware vCenter environment with an ESXi server available in the isolated network.

  • Valid vSphere user credentials for authentication.

  • The ESXi server and the air-gapped HyperScale X nodes must be connected to the same isolated network VLAN.

Execution steps

  1. From the command line interface of the HyperScale X node, run the following orchestration command:
    cvnode airgap --execute-cleanroom-orchestration.

    The script verifies that all required packages are present on the node.

  2. Enter responses for the following vSphere prompts:

    • vSphere host: The fully qualified domain name or IP address of the VMware vCenter server.

    • vSphere user: The administrative username used to authenticate with the vSphere environment.

    • vSphere password: The password for the vSphere administrative user.

    • ESX host: The host machine where the OVA file will be deployed.

    • Datastore: The specific datastore where the virtual machine will reside.

    • Network name: The separate, isolated network where the bunker nodes and the new virtual machine reside.

  3. Enter responses for the following recovery CommServe server (control plane) prompts:

    • VM hostname: The hostname assigned to the new recovery virtual machine.

    • VM guest root password: The root-level password for the new virtual machine.

    • VM guest non-root username: A non-root user account created on the new virtual machine.

    • VM guest non-root password: The password for the non-root guest user.

    • Recovery CS Commcell (recoverymanager) password: The password for the restricted administrative account used to log on to the CommServe server after the orchestration is complete.

  4. At the Do you want to configure a static IP address, or use DHCP for the VM? prompt, enter Y to configure a static IP address, or enter N to use DHCP, for the new CommServe server.

  5. At the NFS share host prompt, enter the IP address of the HyperScale X node that is assigned to the IRE network.

    Note

    • This IP address must belong to the IRE network, as it is used to share the disaster recovery backup set and the software cache directory.

    • This IP address should correspond to the node on which the tool is running.

  6. At the Select DR backup set for CS recovery prompt, enter the specific disaster recovery dump file that the tool restores to the new CommServe server.

Automated system behaviors

After you complete the command line prompts, the orchestration tool automatically performs the following actions:

  • Deploys an OVA file as a virtual machine to act as the isolated recovery environment CommServe server.

  • Upgrades the software on the new CommServe server to match the software version of your production environment.

  • Restores the disaster recovery dump file that you selected to the new CommServe server.

  • Installs a second instance of the Commvault software on all HyperScale X nodes and configures the nodes as read-only MediaAgents in the recovery CommServe server.

  • Deploys the recovered CommServe server in read-only mode to prevent unintended changes to your configuration during cyber recovery testing.
