Downloading a boot ISO image for Linux

To complete a bare-metal restore for a Linux machine, you need a Live DVD ISO image that matches your version of Rapid Recovery Core. The current version of Live DVD is available from the Downloads page from both the QorePortal and the Rapid Recovery License Portal. If you need a different version, contact Quest Data Protection Support.

This task is a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines. It is part of the process for Managing a Linux boot image.

To download the Live DVD ISO image, complete the steps in this procedure.

  1. In a web browser, open the QorePortal at https://qoreportal.quest.com/.
  2. Click Settings, and then click [Downloads] Downloads.
  3. Under Utilities, locate Linux Live DVD, and then click Download.
    The Linux boot ISO image, for example rapidrecovery-livedvd-6.3.x.iso, saves to the downloads destination folder.
  4. If restoring from a physical machine, transfer the Live DVD ISO image onto physical media. For more information, see Saving the Live DVD ISO image to media.
  5. Optionally, if restoring a Linux virtual machine, you can save the ISO image to a network location, and then edit the VM settings to boot from it. Or you can transfer the Live DVD ISO image onto physical media, and change your VM settings to boot from a DVD or CD drive containing that physical media.

Saving the Live DVD ISO image to media

When you download the Linux Live DVD file, it is stored as an ISO image in the path you specified. You must be able to boot the target Linux machine from the Live DVD image.

This task is a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines. It is part of the process for Managing a Linux boot image.

  1. Copy the boot CD ISO image onto removable media supported by your Linux machine; for example, a bootable USB flash drive, digital video disk (DVD), or compact disc (CD).
  2. If necessary, take the proper steps to ensure that the media with the Live DVD ISO image is bootable. For example, change the boot order of devices to ensure the volume or drive containing the Live DVD boot image.

If performing a BMR on a virtual machine, this task is not required. Simply edit the VM settings to boot from the volume or drive containing the Rapid Recovery Live DVD ISO image instead of from physical media.

You can also use virtual export to restore a Linux VM. For more information, see VM export.

Loading the Live DVD and starting the target machine

After you obtain the Live DVD ISO image, you need to start the Linux machine from the Live DVD ISO image that matches your version of Rapid Recovery Core.

This task is a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines. It is part of the process for Managing a Linux boot image.

  1. Navigate to the BMR target machine and load the Live DVD image from the appropriate location.
  2. If necessary, access settings for the BMR target machine, and modify the boot order so that the server will start from the device containing the Live DVD image.
  3. Boot the machine.

    A Quest splash screen displays. A terminal window opens, displaying the IP address and authentication password for the machine.

    NOTE: A new temporary password is generated each time the machine is started with the Live DVD image.

  4. Write down the IP address and the authentication password displayed on the introduction screen. You will need this information to connect the BMR target machine with the Rapid Recovery Core Console to complete the bare metal restore.

Connecting to the BMR target from the Rapid Recovery Core

After you boot the target Linux machine from the Live DVD ISO image, this machine is ready for you to connect to it from the Core and begin the bare metal restore process. You can perform this process using either of two methods:
