NetVault Bare Metal Recovery 12.2 - User Guide for NetVault Backup Server

Using a Windows Server 2012-based virtual machine

If your VMware virtual machine (VM) is based on Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2, update the VMware configuration file to use the E1000 adapter.

1
Locate and open the VMware configuration file.
This file is located in the directory where you created the virtual machine. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Virtual Machines\<machine>\*.vmx.
2
Locate the E100OE entry, and change it to E1000.
3
Save and close the .vmx file.

Booting into NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server

Before you perform an offline backup of the NetVault Backup Server, create a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server CD and boot from it.

1
Burn the “.iso” file for the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server onto a blank CD.
2
Use the CD created in Step 1 to boot the server; if connected through a USB port, the port must use the 3.0 protocol or earlier.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Unless there is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server in your environment, drdaemon requires a static IP address to communicate with the NetVault Backup Server. If there is no DHCP Server, set the IP address manually.

If you are running multiple NetVault Bare Metal Recovery instances for NetVault Backup Server simultaneously, stopping the NetVault Service on one instance can cause the service of the other instances to stop if the host names are identical. To avoid this conflict, press the Tab key at the VaultOS client boot prompt to interrupt the boot routine, and enter a unique host name for each instance by using the kernel argument, for example, “hostname=samplehost1.”
A series of dialog boxes appear as various applications are loaded to system memory. The initial load sequence may take several minutes, during which time the screen may appear blank.
By default, the system uses DHCP for the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6 settings. If you want to change the network settings, complete the following steps:
a
Double-click the NetCFG icon on the desktop.
b
When the Network Connections dialog box is displayed, select the connection that you want to change, and click Edit.

c
Click the IPv4 Settings tab, select Manual from the Method list, click Add, and enter the IP, netmask, and gateway addresses in the applicable fields. Leave the DNS servers field blank.
d
Click the IPv6 Settings tab, select Manual from the Method list, click Add, and enter the IP, prefix, and gateway addresses in the applicable fields. Leave the DNS servers field blank.
e
When you are finished, click Save to return to the Network Connections dialog box, and then click Close.
3
If you want to enable multipath support, perform the following steps:
a
In the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Daemon process terminal (command prompt), press <Ctrl+C> to stop the process.
