The processes required to set up and use the Plug-in Live Client must be followed in a specific order. The following list offers a rough outline of how to establish a Plug-in Live Client environment.
• |
Required components: Verify that you have the Plug-in Server, Plug-in Live Client, and Plug-in Offline Client. |
• |
Verify access to the Plug-in Server: Verify that all target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients are accessible to the Plug-in Server. Failure to do so may result in an inability to perform a restore. |
• |
Add client machines to be backed up by the Plug-in Live Client to the NetVault Backup Server; that is, by using the Manage Clients page in the NetVault Backup WebUI. |
• |
Install the Plug-in Live Client on any NetVault Backup Heterogeneous Client machine requiring active DR backups, for example, the clients added in Step ▪, but not the NetVault Backup Server itself. |
• |
Perform online backups with the Plug-in Live Client: From the NetVault Backup Server, perform online backups as required, of each NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using the Plug-in Live Client, for example, OS, applications, system settings. |
• |
Recovery: Perform an offline restore to the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. |
The second phase of setting up the Plug-in Server involves environment configuration. The topics that follow fully illustrate the procedures that must be followed to complete both of these steps.
NOTE: The only configurations required apply to the use of the Plug-in Server. There are no configuration requirements necessary with the Plug-in Live Client, and there are no configuration options available. |
The following items are required for this procedure:
1 |
Download the Plug-in Offline Client from the Quest website. |
2 |
Note the name and location of this file, for example, “\home\vaultos_x86_vxxx.zip,” where xxx represents the software version number. |
