Plug-in Live Client environment prerequisites

Plug-in Live Client environment prerequisites

The processes required to set up and use the Plug-in Live Client must be followed in a specific order. The following list offers a rough outline of how to establish a Plug-in Live Client environment.

Required components: Verify that you have the Plug-in Server, Plug-in Live Client, and Plug-in Offline Client.
Install the Plug-in Server on the NetVault Server.
Create a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System, for example, to a writable CD.
Uninstall previous version of Plug-in Live Client for Linux: If a previous version of the plug-in is installed, it must be removed before proceeding with the installation. For details, see Removing Plug-in Live Client.
Verify access to the Plug-in Server: Verify that all target NetVault Bare Metal RecoveryClients are accessible to the Plug-in Server. Failure to do so may result in an inability to perform a restore.
From the NetVault Server, access the Plug-in Server to ensure that the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is accessible to the Plug-in Server.
Add client machines to be backed up by the Plug-in Live Client to the NetVault Server; that is, by using the Manage Clients page in the NetVault WebUI.
Install the Plug-in Live Client on any NetVault Heterogeneous Client machine requiring active DR backups, for example, the clients added in Step ▪, but not the NetVault Server itself.
Perform online backups with the Plug-in Live Client: From the NetVault Server, perform online backups as required, of each NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using the Plug-in Live Client, for example, OS, applications, system settings.
Recovery: Perform an offline restore to the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.

The second phase of setting up the Plug-in Server involves environment configuration. The topics that follow fully illustrate the procedures that must be followed to complete both of these steps.

Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System

Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System

The initial backup requirement with the Plug-in Server, and all restore operations, require the use of the Plug-in Offline Client Boot System to boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. This minimal OS loads to a target machine’s memory, rather than to its hard drive. This process leaves the hard drives inactive (offline) and in a suitable state for backup or restore.

The Plug-in Offline Client is created on a writable CD. The Plug-in Server lets you create a bootable CD that can be used to prepare a client machine for the restore process.

Creating a Linux-based Boot System for use with Plug-in Live Client

The following items are required for this procedure:

1
Download the Plug-in Offline Client from the Quest website.
2
Note the name and location of this file, for example, “\home\vaultos_x86_vxxx.zip,” where xxx represents the software version number.
