Running the Restore Manager (RM)

To run the Dell Restore Manager (RM) utility, boot the DR Series system using the RM USB key created in Creating the RM USB key).

Insert the RM USB key into an available USB port on the system.
You can also use the virtual media option of iDRAC to remotely load the RM USB key. For more information, see Configuring and Using Virtual Media in the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User Guide at support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/.

During the time when the Power-On Self-Test (POST) screen displays, press F11 to load the Boot Manager.
4.
Within the Boot Manager, navigate to the system hard drive (C:), select the USB key as the boot device, and press <Enter>.

Resetting the Boot LUN Setting in PERC H700 BIOS After Running RM

Resetting the Boot LUN Setting in PERC H700 BIOS After Running RM

In the event that both of the 2.5-inch 300 GB 10K RPM 6 GB/s SAS internal drives (OS) in RAID1 are replaced, you must run the Dell Restore Manager (RM) utility to recover the DR Series system OS drives.

Following the RM recovery process, the boot logical unit number (LUN) has to be reset to VD0 RAID1. The DR Series system unsuccessfully attempts to boot from RAID6 instead of RAID1.

To resolve this issue, reset the Dell PERC H700 BIOS to revise the proper boot order setting to configure the proper boot LUN to be RAID1. To reset the proper LUN boot order, complete the following steps:

Start Restore Manager.
2.
Select Option 1 > Recover My Appliance.
The OS Virtual Disk is created: Warning Code 2002 dialog is displayed.
3.
Click Proceed.
The Operating System installation was successful dialog is displayed.
4.
Click Reboot, and during reboot, press Ctrl+R to enter the PERC BIOS.
The PERC BIOS Configuration Utility page is displayed.
5.
Select Controller 0: PERC H700 in the list.
6.
Press Ctrl+N twice to select the Ctrl Mgmt (Controller Management) tab.
7.
Select Ctrl Mgmt, click Select bootable VD, and select VD 0 as the VD0 RAID1.
8.
Click Apply, and reboot the DR Series system.
The RM Recover My Appliance mode process will then complete.

DR Series System: Proper Shut Down and Start Up

Before you attempt to remove or replace any hardware component in the DR Series system, ensure that you observe the following best practices for properly shutting down and starting up the system.

NOTE: To shutdown the DR Series system using a UPS after a power loss, refer to the following article for information on how to do this using the shutdown command in the IPMI interface: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/ps4q04-20040204-murphy.pdf.
1.
Power off the DR Series system by selecting Shutdown in the System Configuration page.
For more information, see Shutting Down the DR Series System. Another method you can use to shut down the system is the DR Series system CLI command, system --shutdown.
2.
Allow the DR Series system to fully complete its power-down process.
When the power-down process has completed, the Power Supply status indicator is unlit.
3.
Disconnect the DR Series system power cables from the electrical power outlet.
4.
Wait an additional period of time (up to 10 minutes), and/or verify that all of the green and amber NVRAM LEDs on the rear panel of the system chassis are unlit.
 
NOTE: If you do not allow the NVRAM super capacitor sufficient time to discharge, the NVRAM status will report DATA LOSS when the DR Series system is subsequently powered up.
5.
Unlatch the latch release lock and slide the DR Series system cover back and away to gain entry to the appliance internal components.
To gain entry to the interior of the DR Series system, remove the cover. For more information, see the procedures in the Dell DR Series System Owner’s Manual.
6.
Remove and replace the system hardware components as needed.
7.
Replace the cover, reconnect the system power cables to the electrical power outlet.
8.
Power on the DR Series system by pressing the power-on indicator/power button.
