Gathering NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client network information

In this first phase, you gather specific network-related information from the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use in the boot routine, for example, NIC and SCSI interface values. This requirement includes the following values:

•
IP Address
•
Network Mask
•
Gateway
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is configured with multiple NIC/SCSI devices for access, Quest recommends that you gather the preceding information for each device. The Plug-in Offline Client boot routine recognizes all these devices and requests that you configure each, individually, with this information, but only one of the devices actually must be configured successfully for use.
To obtain network values for Windows
1
Log in locally to the Windows-based NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and start a Command Prompt session.
2
At the prompt, type the following command:
ipconfig
3
In the content that is revealed, locate and record the IP Address, Subnet Mask (Network Mask), and Default Gateway values.
To obtain network values for Linux
1
Log in locally to the Linux-based NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client and start a terminal session.
2
At the prompt, enter the following command:
ifconfig
3
In the content that is revealed, locate and record the IP Address, Subnet Mask (Network Mask), and Default Gateway values.

Restoring data with Plug-in Live Client

Restoring data with Plug-in Live Client

The restore of data backed up with the Plug-in Live Client is handled by the Plug-in Server. Backups performed using the Plug-in Live Client are revealed beneath the Plug-in Server node , labeled “VaultDR APM,” on the Create Selection Set page of the NetVault WebUI.

The topics that follow illustrate all the procedures required to perform a restore of a Plug-in Live Client backup.

•
Restoring to a physical machine with Plug-in Live Client for Windows
•
Restoring data as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Verify that the Disk Geometry of the OS targeted by the restore matches the geometry of the source OS that was backed up. If they do not match, for example, the source used 32 sectors per track, and the target uses 63 sectors, an error occurs when the system attempts to start.
