Booting with Plug-in Offline Client

This process entails the configuration of network equipment installed on the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client; that is, loading driver software for the system’s network interface card or small computer system interface (NIC/SCSI) card to memory to use the device and access the system.

The overall boot routine with Plug-in Offline Client can be broken down into two phases. Also, if you are using the Windows PE-based configuration, you can use one of the following procedures to inject drivers into Windows PE when the network driver is not available on the Windows PE image.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Before starting this procedure, verify the boot order of the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. The machine’s CD drive must be the first source of a boot for this process to work.

Using a Windows Server 2012-based virtual machine with Plug-in Offline Client for Linux

If your VMware virtual machine (VM) is based on Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 and you use the Plug-in Offline Client for Linux, 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.

Gathering NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client network information

In this first phase of the process, 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 must be configured successfully for use.

The following topics offer sample procedures that you can use to obtain these required values, based on the OS in place on the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.

Gathering the information for Linux-based NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client
1
Log in locally to the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and initiate a terminal session.
2
At the prompt, type the following command:
ifconfig
3
In the content that is revealed, locate and record the IP Address and the Network Mask values.
4
At the prompt, type the following command:
route
5
In the content that is revealed, locate and record the Gateway value; when the command is issued, this value is revealed as the default value.
Gathering the information for Windows-based NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client
1
Log in locally to the Windows 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.

With all relevant networking information noted, you can boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, as described in the next topic, Booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Windows PE-based Plug-in Offline Client.

Booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Linux-based Plug-in Offline Client

With all relevant networking information noted, you can boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.

1
Turn off the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and insert the VaultOS CD; if connected through a USB port, the port must use the 3.0 protocol or earlier.
On reboot, there is a 5-second delay after the boot prompt is displayed.
2
Press Enter to start the sequence immediately.
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 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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.
 
*
