Performing a recovery of the catalog file system using GUI

You can use the NetBackup Flex Scale GUI for the recovery of primary service catalog file system from the checkpoints.

The following operations can be performed using the GUI:

You can list all the valid checkpoints for the primary service.

To list all the valid checkpoints

Go to Settings > NetBackup catalog management.
A screen with a calendar view gets displayed. Select a date in the calendar. The list of valid checkpoints for that date is displayed in tabular form.
Note:
The green dot below a date in the calendar indicates that there are valid checkpoints available for that date.

You can validate a specific checkpoint. For validation operation to be completed, the primary server services must be running in the cluster.

To validate a checkpoint

From the list of checkpoints, click the Actions menu (vertical ellipsis) from the right side of the row in the UI for a particular checkpoint.
The Validate NetBackup catalog pop-up opens. Click Validate to validate the checkpoint.
A task is initiated in the GUI which can be used to track the status of the validate operation. Once the validate operation is completed, the status of the task changes accordingly.

You can restore a checkpoint. For the restore operation to be completed, the primary server services must be in the online state in the cluster.

To restore a checkpoint

From the list of checkpoints, click on the kebab menu for a particular checkpoint. Click Restore to restore the checkpoint.
A pop-up window appears to ask for confirmation. Click Restore.
If a validation checkpoint exists for the selected checkpoint, the restore operation is performed immediately. If a validation checkpoint does not exist, the restore operation first validates the checkpoint and creates a validation checkpoint. Then, it performs a restore from the validation checkpoint.
The progress of the restore operation is displayed on the progress card that gets created with the restore operation. A task is also initiated in the GUI which can be used to track the status of the restore operation. Once the restore operation is completed, the status of the task changes accordingly.
