NOTE: On completion of this process, the job is added to the NetVault Backup job queue; however, unlike a traditional NetVault Backup 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. |
The following topics detail the procedures to be used to boot a target Linux® Client machine to recover a DR image backup.
• |
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 Backup 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: |
• |
Gateway Address, if applicable |
• |
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. |
The Plug-in Live Client for Linux® listens on port 10666 by default. If you have a firewall configured, you may need to change the communication port to perform a recovery; for example, you want use port 12345 instead. Perform the following steps:
