Setting restore options for a DR image with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

On the Create Selection Set page, click to reveal the following fields:

•
Client Hostname: This field contains the NetVault Machine Name of the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client that was the target of the DR backup.
•
Restore Server Port: This field lets you choose the port for incoming connections on the server. Usually, the default port of 10666 is available. Follow the procedure under Reconfiguring the communication port for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux (optional) if a different port is required.

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

1
To save the settings, click Ok, and then click Next.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. A maximum of 40 characters is recommended.
3
In the Target Client list, select the NetVault Server from the list of displayed machines to set it as the intended target.
 
* 
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
Restores must be routed through the NetVault Server to use the necessary components installed there. The setting in this list works in tandem with the value revealed in the Client Hostname field to route the restore properly.
4
Use the Schedule and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
5
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.

NOTE: On completion of this process, the job is added to the NetVault job queue; however, unlike a traditional NetVault restore job, it does not begin running. The steps covered in Booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the appropriate OS and drivers for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux must be successfully performed before the job begins.

If you attempt a second restore after processing a restore that failed, the second restore might stop responding (hang) when it begins creating the logical volume. If this issue occurs, blank the target disk and run the restore process again.

Prerequisites for booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

Prerequisites for booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

Ensure the following have taken place before attempting to boot the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client:

•
Bootable CD created: A Plug-in Live Client Boot CD must have been previously created for the target Linux Client, using the procedures outlined in Creating the required bootable CD for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.
•
CD drive set as primary boot source on target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client: The Linux machine serving as the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client must have its CD drive — if connected through a USB port, it must use USB 3.0 protocol or earlier — set up as the primary boot source to have the machine boot from CD, for example, by accessing the system’s BIOS application and setting the Drive as the primary boot source.
•
NetVault Server and Client information gathered: After booting the target Linux Client with the created boot CD, configure the machine using various information, including the following:
•
NetVault Server IP Address
•
Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client IP Address
•
Gateway Address, if applicable
•
Subnet Mask
•
Communication port free for use: Verify that the communication port is available and accessible to the Plug-in Live Client for Linux. If the default port 10666 is not available, reconfigure the communication port before proceeding. For details on reconfiguring the port, see Reconfiguring the communication port for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux (optional). If default port 10666 is available, skip to Boot procedure for the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.
 
* 
NOTE: In most circumstances, the 10666 port is available for use. Circumstances under which it is not available include if a system administrator had assigned it for use to a different application or if you have a firewall set up on a different port.
