Recalling NFS Data Using File Archiving Solution for UNIX File System

You can recall the archived NFS data by using the file archiving solution for UNIX file system. On NFS client computers, any application that accesses (a read or write operation) the migrated data triggers a recall. You can also perform a recall operation manually.

Before You Begin

• Recall operations might stop responding if the Commvault driver (cdr) is loaded on both the NFS server and NFS client computers. Verify that the Commvault driver (cdr) is not loaded on the NFS client computer.

• If the volumes on the NFS client computer are monitored, configure an additional setting to disable monitoring.

  • To the NFS client computer, add the nStartClusterMonitoring additional setting as shown in the following table.

    For instructions on adding the additional setting from the CommCell Console, see Adding or Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.

Procedure

1. Log on to the NFS client computer.

2. Perform an action that executes an open and read on an archived file to initiate a recall operation. For example, you can use the vi or cat commands:

    
   vi pathfilename

    
   cat pathfilename
