System and method for automated restoration of recovery device
A method, computer program product, and computer system for performing, by a computing device, a check on an internal secondary device on a first node during a boot software stack initialization.

accessing, by the first node, the recovery operating system and the image repository of an internal secondary device on the second node, including accessing, by the first node, a non-corrupted copy of the internal secondary device on the second node; and
rebuilding the internal secondary device on the first node based upon, at least in part, the recovery operating system and the image repository of the internal secondary device on the second node such that the internal secondary device on the first node is rebuilt using the non-corrupted copy of the internal secondary device on the second node.
8. The computer program product of claim 7 wherein performing the check includes at least one of a validation and corruption check by comparing a checksum of backup files with a saved checksum file on the internal secondary device.
9. The computer program product of claim 7 the second node is a peer node of the first node.
