I am running smartdisk 11.4.5 on a linux host
I had a hardware failure on the smartdisk server and it was out of warranty. I took the steps of rebuilding the server with the exact same OS, hostname, and smartdisk version. I then copied the smartdisk config files, and all the stored deduped data into the same file structure.
it appears now as though netvault cannot find all the data that corresponds with the savesets. I ran a 'scan' on the smartdisk to see if it would pick up any of the lost savesets, but they did not show up. The ones that ARE there AND are incrementals appear to have some of the files in their media list missing, as the 'storage containing data' field says "Unknown Storage".
If I go to create a restore job, I see all the savesets, however most of them are listed as offline.
So i have a blunder of sorts (understatement) on my hand here. I am wondering if there is any way I can try and tie back the physical data files back to their corresponding savesets, so that netvault knows they are there.
I've taken some arcane steps to see if there's any way to figure out how the netvault database learns where the physical files are kept, in hopes maybe I can go in and manually fix any issues, but this seems like a really bad idea. I've looked around in the main Netvault Postgres Database, but most of the fields appear to be binary blobs, and I didn't really see anything that stood out as saying "Hey, this is a saveset, this is where the data files are located"
I have not looked at the sqlite dedupe catalog databases to see if there's anything in there of interest, but that's probably where I will look next.
this all seems like a horrible way to go about this, but I am not sure of any other options.
i'd love some insight into possible steps I can take to resolve this. thanks for your time!
