Configuring Plug-in Server for use with Plug-in Offline Client

The second phase of setting up the Plug-in Server involves environment configuration, which is divided into two steps. The following topics illustrate the procedures that must be followed to complete these steps.

•
Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System
•
Adding a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client to the Plug-in Server

Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System

Before using the Plug-in Server, create a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System. This minimal OS loads to a target machine’s memory, rather than to its hard drive. This process leaves the hard drives inactive (offline) and in a suitable state for backup or restore. The Plug-in Offline Client is created on a writable CD. You can also boot from a LiveCD with the Plug-in Offline Client binaries on a separate device, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device that uses the 3.0 protocol or earlier. This process is described in Creating a rescue device for use with a LiveCD.

Creating a Linux-based Boot System

The following items are required for this procedure:

•
VaultOS ISO image — obtained through download
•
A writable DVD and CD drive
•
A blank DVD and CD
•
DVD- and CD-generation software
 
* 
NOTE: Quest recommends that you shut down all applications running on this machine before starting this procedure.
1
Download Plug-in Offline Client, VaultOS 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.
3
Insert a blank CD in the writable drive.
4
Create a CD with the CD-generation software using the “vaultos_x86_vxxx.iso” file.
For details on this procedure, see the relevant documentation for the CD-generation software in use.
