Restoring the File System of an AppNode

Restoring an AppNode restores the file system of the specified AppNode and all runtime entities in the AppNode to the state of the datastore.

Prerequisites

  • The names of the containing domain and AppSpace and the name of the AppNode must be known in order to restore.
  • The bwagent must be running.

Procedure

  1. To restore the file system for an AppNode and the runtime entities in the AppNode, open a terminal and navigate to BW_HOME\bin.
  2. Enter the restore command, using the -domain and -appspace options with the appnode argument specifying the name of the AppNode to restore. This example restores AppNode MyAppNode in domain Machine1Domain and AppSpace AS1. 
    BW_HOME\bin>bwadmin restore -d Machine1Domain -a AS1 appnode MyAppNode
  3. To verify the restore, check the file system. Open the BW_HOME\domains folder. Browse the folder and look for the named AppNode folder under: BW_HOME\domains\domain_name\appnodes
