User:Sfiggins/NetApp Snapshot Restore Instructions

Instructions on how to restore from NetApp Snapshot for ESXi machines

Basic Information

Helper Virtual Machines

These are machines that you will need to get into in order to validate the snapshots and file paths. ESXi / vCenter datastore browser hides certain files, so you need to know the exact file structure and path on order to restore.

Denver - 10.255.6.228
Dallas - 10.255.8.228

NetApp Filers

These are the administrative consoles for the NetApps. You can connect tot he Web UI for verifying some information, but you will need to SHS to the console (CLI) in order to perform restoration from snapshots.

DEN1-AFF220 - 10.255.6.223
DAL1-AFF220 - 10.255.8.223

NetApp vServers

Each NetApp has a number of vServers associated with it. In order to restore, you will need to know what vServer you are restoring from.

For vSphere hosts, this will be the following vServers, however these instructions would be valid for other vServers outside of sSphere.

Denver - DEN1-VFILER-1 
Dallas - DAL-VFILER-1

NOTE: Dallas and Denver naming formats are slightly different in this case, so verify that you have the correct vServer before continuing.

NetApp Volumes

You can get this from vCenter, however it is usually a good idea to validate the volumes on the NetApp filer.

3 entries were displayed.

NOTE: Volume names may vary. Please validate the volume that you are wanting to restore.

vCenter

vCenter is what you will need to use in order to control the virtual machine. Below is the vCenter server information.

Denver - 10.255.6.229

Preparation Steps

vCenter / ESXi - Shutdown the virtual machine

Because you will be restoring a disk image you will need to shut down the virtual machine. You will do this by logging into vCenter (or ESXi in some instances), navigating the the virtual machine, and powering it off. You may want to shut down from the OS, however the disk will be replaced, so disk consistency isn't important. You may just use vSphere to power it off rather than shutting it down.

vCenter / ESXi - Verify disk location

In vCenter (or ESXi), browse to the virtual machine, and identify where the hard drive is stored. You can usually do this by viewing the virtual machine hardware stats, but you may have to look in the actual settings.

or

In this case, we are looking for volume den1_datastore_2 and path /den1-mfa1.

Verify files from the helper machine

Log into the helper machine, and verify the files.

In this case, we are looking for the latest disk file. For this machine, which contains an vSphere snapshot, we are wanting to address the den1-mfa1-000001-delta.vmdk file.

NOTE: In vSphere, you will not see this file, and it will show you the WRONG file.

In another machine, no snapshot exists, we re restore a different file.

Here, we see that we would neet to restore den1-kafka2_1-flat.vmdk, however in vSphere, it is only going to look like den1-kafka2_1.vmdk. Make sure you restore the correct file.

Validate Snapshots

On the NetApp, validate the snapshot you want to restore. In this case, we are looking for volume den1_datastore_2 on vfiler DEN1-VFILER-1.

From here, we pick the snapshot we wish to restore from. Let's sy we want to restore from daily.2022-11-15_0010.

NOTE: Times may be in UTC. Be aware of the time zone and restore from the correct snapshot.

Here, you can see that our target file den1-mfa1-000001-delta.vmdk has a date that is attractive to us.

Restore from Snapshot

Not you should be able to restore from the snapshot.

NOTE: THIS SYNTAX IS VERY CRITICAL, OR YOU WILL HAVE A BAD DAY!

Single file

From the NetApp Console:

DEN1-AFF220::> volume snapshot restore-file -vserver DEN1-VFILER-1 -volume den1_datastore_2 -snapshot daily.2022-11-15_0010 -path /den1-mfa1/den1-mfa1-000001-delta.vmdk

The file has been restored, and you can now bring the virtual machine back up.

NOTE: In this partucular case, it looks like the den1-mfa1-000001.vmdk file is newer, and may need to be restored from teh same snapshot. This is not always the case, and is particular to the machine used in this example. This machine had the vSphere snapshot removed and then a new one created after the NetApp snapshot.

Whole Directory

There is no single command to restore an entire directory from a snapshot. The easiest way would be to restore each file, however you may want to do some additional work to ensure that it works well, If our example above, the number of files is small enough to do it by hand, however if you are dealing with many more files, you may want to use a script to generate the commands, or use an alternative / slower method that will work on directories. I'll include that in another section.

From the helper machine, we will rename the old directory as a safegard and then create a new one to restore to.

[sfiggins@test-centos den1-mfa1]$ sudo mv /mnt/den1_datastore_2/den1-mfa1{,.old}
[sfiggins@test-centos den1-mfa1]$ sudo nkdir /mnt/den1_datastore_2/den1-mfa1

From the NetApp console, you will run the restore-file command for each file.
