Performing a full restore from manifest for a physical machine

vRanger offers the ability to restore a savepoint after it has been moved from a repository. This feature allows for greater flexibility when restoring a file or server after it has been moved to long-term tape backups. You may also use the Restore from Manifest feature to restore a server after transporting the savepoint to a secondary location.

Each savepoint contains a manifest file that can be used to restore the savepoint without access to the vRanger database. If the vRanger machine is lost, you may install a fresh installation of vRanger, and restore savepoints using this manifest file.

To perform a full restore from a manifest for a physical machine, complete the following tasks:

Creating the boot media

To restore a savepoint to a physical machine, you must first boot the target server into the vRanger restore environment using the vRanger Restore images — ISO for CD, IMG for a bootable USB drive. You can download the restore image files — vzRestore-<version>.iso and vzRestore-<version>.img — from the Quest website.

This task is a procedure in Performing a full restore from manifest for a physical machine.

To create the boot media, complete one of the following procedures:

Complete the steps in the following procedure to create a bootable CD.

IMPORTANT: The procedures for creating a bootable CD differ widely depending on the operating system and software used. The following procedures show how to use the native Windows® 7 utility to create a bootable CD. If you have a different image burning application, follow the instructions for that application.

Click Burn.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to create a bootable USB drive.

Booting the target server

For vRanger to detect the target server, the target server must be booted into the vRanger restore environment and have a valid IP address. The vRanger Restore image is configured to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) by default. If you are using static IP, some additional steps are required.

This task is a procedure in Performing a full restore from manifest for a physical machine.

To boot the target server, complete one of the following procedures:

Complete the steps in the following procedure to boot into the vRanger restore environment using DHCP.

If no DHCP server is detected, each Ethernet device shows as “Disconnected.” Select the preferred network device. If only one device is present, it is automatically selected. Press Enter to select the highlighted network interface. You are then prompted to select either Use DHCP, which attempts to obtain an IP address again, or Configure Static IP.
3
[Optional] If the vRestore environment does not contain the correct drivers for your hardware, enter a Linux® command prompt by pressing F1, and add them manually.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to boot into the vRanger restore environment using a static IP address.

3
Press Enter to select the highlighted network interface.
You are then prompted to select either Use DHCP, which attempts to obtain an IP address again, or Configure Static IP.
