Creating the CD and saving it for future use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

Performed before the need for a recovery, this method lets you create this required CD from the “linuxboot.iso” file that was saved locally on the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and then store this CD for later use.
This file resides in the directory named in the Boot Images Directory field for this particular backup job; for example, the default is /storix/temp. If this value was not changed before backup, the file is located in this directory.

Creating the CD at the time of recovery for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

You must first recover the Boot Image data taken from the backup of the target Linux® NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.

Selecting data for a restore with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug-in Live Client for Linux from the Plugin Type list.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, Job Title, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, Archive or not, saveset size, and snapshot-based backup or not.
6
Locate the “linuxboot.iso” file, and select it for recovery.
IMPORTANT: Only include the “linuxboot.iso” file in this recovery job. Any other items selected for recovery during this procedure are not successfully restored.
7
Click Next.

Finalizing and submitting a restore with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

1
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
2
In the Target Client list, select the NetVault Backup Server as the target for the restore.
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
3
Leave all other options available on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists at their default settings.
4
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
The file is recovered to …/tmp directory on the NetVault Backup Server, where represents the NetVault Backup installation directory.
IMPORTANT: Recovery of the Boot Image information, regardless of the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client it was performed from, creates a CD-creation file entitled “linuxboot.iso” in the …/tmp directory. If Boot Image information is recovered from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using these steps, its “linuxboot.iso” file is restored and overwrites any file of the same name in this directory without warning. Therefore, Dell recommends that you complete this process for a single Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, before you try to recover backed-up Boot Image information from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
6
Start the CD-generation software, access the “linuxboot.iso” file that resides in the directory named in Step 1, and create the CD using the necessary utilities within the CD-generation software.
IMPORTANT: Provided the hardware configuration in the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client does not change, this CD can be saved for future use in booting the client for the recovery of future DR images recorded with this plug-in. However, if new networking hardware is implemented or the device driver files in the client machine change any time, the Boot Image data for the client needs to be backed up again and this procedure needs to be repeated to create a CD.
The Boot CD is unable to load devices for which proper driver files are not incorporated in the Boot Image backup. Dell recommends that you test the boot media on the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for successful loading of all the devices during boot up process.
