Adding a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client to the Plug-in Server

To access a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client machine correctly for backup and restore, add it to the Plug-in Server. After you have added an initial NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client to the NetVault Backup Server, repeat these steps to add additional clients.

1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI, click Create Backup Job.
2
Next to the Selections list, click Create New.
3
On the NetVault Backup Selections page, double-click the NetVault Backup Server — with the Plug-in Server installed on it — to open it.
4
Select the Plug-in Server, labeled “VaultDR APM,” and select Add Client from the Actions list.
5
When the Add Bare Metal Recovery Plug-in Offline Client dialog box is displayed, complete the following fields to add the client:
•
Client Name: The name of the applicable NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. NetVault Backup scans the network, looking for available systems that can be added as NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients, and displays them in the drop-down list.
•
Address(es): A comma-separated list of addresses that can either be IP addresses or resolvable network names, for example, 10.55.55.1, Server_1, 10.55.55.2, that see the machine to add.
•
Port Number: The port used to invoke drdaemon, for example, 15555. The default is 10000.
•
NDMP Protocol: This field determines whether to use the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) during backup and restore jobs. The default is FALSE. If you are using the Plug-in Offline Client for Linux, the protocol must be set to TRUE.
6
Click Next.
After the client is successfully added to the server, a message is displayed.
7
Repeat these steps as required until all NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients have been added.

Booting a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client

To use the Plug-in Server to back up or restore a target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, take the system offline and boot it with the required components. This process is accomplished by booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client machine with the Plug-in Offline Client Boot System — the media created in the processes explained in Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System. Rather than installing software to the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client’s hard drive, this boot system loads a minimal OS to the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client’s memory. Loading the OS to the memory leaves the hard drive inactive (offline) and in a suitable state for either backup or restore.
