Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System

Before using the Plug-in Server, create a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System. 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. You can also boot from a LiveCD with the Plug-in Offline Client binaries on a separate device, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device that uses the 3.0 protocol or earlier. This process is described in Creating a rescue device for use with a LiveCD.

Creating a Linux®-based Boot System

The following items are required for this procedure:

1
Download Plug-in Offline Client, VaultOS 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.

Creating a Windows® PE-based Boot System

You can complete this process on any Windows system for which the following requirements are met:

Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows 8 system
“NetVault Bare Metal Recovery ISO Builder for Plug-in Offline Client for Windows” file — on the Quest NetVault Backup Installation CD or downloaded from the Quest website
2
Install the Windows ADK on a Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows 8 system.
IMPORTANT: Installation of Windows ADK also installs Microsoft® .NET Framework if it is not already installed. After .NET Framework is installed, the system is automatically restarted.
3
Extract the “NetVault Bare Metal Recovery ISO Builder for Plug-in Offline Client for Windows file to the Windows ADK machine.
This step creates two files, “nvbmrisocreate.exe” and “nvbmriso.pkg.”
5
To create the Windows PE ISO image, navigate to the directory that contains the extracted “nvbmrisocreate.exe” file, type the following at the command prompt, and press Enter:
/TYPE: If you are working with an earlier version of the Plug-in Offline Client, enter WAIK for Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK). If you are using version 6.1 or later, you can enter ADK.
/PKG: Enter the full path and filename for the Plug-in Offline Client .pkg file that you downloaded separately.
/DIR: Enter the full path to the location of the Windows AIK or ADK directory.
/OUT: Enter the path where the bootable ISO image should be created.
/ADDDRV: Enter the full path where the downloaded device drivers are stored.
/BIT:32: If you must create a backward-compatible version of VaultOS for use with a 32-bit version of Windows PE, enter this option.
/PKG:"<pathToFile>\nvbmriso.pkg"

Creating a rescue device for use with a LiveCD

A LiveCD is an OS that boots from a CD without the necessity of installing to a hard drive. This tool lets you initiate DR without the OS on disk. Plug-in Server supports booting from a LiveCD with VaultOS on a separate device, such as a USB device (Rescue USB) that uses the 3.0 protocol or earlier, or a different CD (Rescue CD).

The following items are required to create a Rescue CD or Rescue USB device:

The “drdaemon” and “vaultdr_client.sh” files — obtained through download.
A USB port and a USB device with enough space to hold the “drdaemon” and “vaultdr_client.sh” files; 1 MB is sufficient,
1
Download Plug-in Offline Client, VaultOS 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.
