Restore Manager (RM)

Restore Manager (RM)

The Dell Restore Manager (RM) utility can be used to restore the DR Series system software. RM can be used when a non-recoverable hardware or software failure prevents the DR Series system from functioning correctly.

RM can also be used to reset the system back to its initial factory settings when moving it from a test environment to a production environment. RM supports the following two modes:

Recover Appliance—in Recover Appliance mode, RM reinstalls the operating system and attempts to recover the prior system configuration and the data residing in the containers.
Factory Reset—in a Factory Reset mode, RM reinstalls the operating system and resets the system configuration back to the original factory state. It is important to note that when doing a factory reset, all of the containers and the data in the containers gets deleted.

Downloading the Restore Manager

Downloading the Restore Manager

The Restore Manager (RM) utility runs from a USB boot key that contains the RM image, which must first be downloaded from the Quest Support site.

Using your browser, go to support.quest.com/dr-series, select your specific DR model and then navigate to Software Downloads.

Creating the Restore Manager USB key

To create a Restore Manager (RM) USB key, you must first download the RM image (.img) file from the Quest Support site, and then transfer it to a USB key. The USB key must be a minimum of 4 GB (Gigabytes) in size or larger. Windows USB image tools can be used to transfer the RM image when they meet the following conditions:

To transfer the RM image to the USB key on a Linux or Unix system, perform the following:

For example:

Running the Restore Manager (RM)

Running the Restore Manager (RM)

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

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/.
5.
After a few minutes, Restore Manager loads and displays its main screen.
6.
Select the desired Restore mode (either Recover Appliance or Factory Reset).
CAUTION: The Factory Reset mode deletes all DR Series data. The Factory Reset mode should only be used when the container data is no longer needed.
NOTE: After Restore Manager completes, only the administrator account will remain enabled. To re-enable the root or service accounts, see the DR Series system CLI user --enable --user command in the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.
NOTE: If you had previously joined the DR Series system to any Active Directory Services (ADS) domain before running Restore Manager, after it completes you will need to manually rejoin the desired ADS domain. For information about joining an ADS domain, see Configuring Active Directory Settings.
