Reconnecting to a Core

If you lose the connection to an Rapid Recovery Core machine, you can refresh the connection with the following step.

1.
From the Local Mount Utility user interface, do one of the following:
◦
If the Core is offline, double-click the Core whose connection you want to reestablish.

The LMU attempts to reestablish a connection to the Core.

◦
If the Core is online, right-click the Core and then click Reconnect to Core.

The LMU refreshes the connection.

With the Local Mount Utility (LMU), you can mount and browse recovery points from protected machines without having to be logged in to the Rapid Recovery Core Console associated with that machine. For more information, see the following procedures:

Mounting a recovery point using the Local Mount Utility

With the LMU, you can mount any recovery point associated with a connected Core machine, including protected machines, replicated machines, and recovery points only machines.

Before mounting a recovery point, the local mount utility (LMU) must connect to the Core on which the recovery point is stored. As described in the procedure Adding a Core machine to the Local Mount Utility, the number of Cores that can be added to the LMU is unlimited; however, the application can connect to only one Core at a time. For example, if you mount a recovery point of a machine protected by one Core and then mount a recovery point of another machine protected by a different Core, the LMU automatically disconnects from the first Core to establish a connection with the second Core.

1.
From the Local Mount Utility user interface, expand the Core in the navigation tree to reveal the protected machines.
2.
From the navigation tree, select the machine from which you want to mount a recovery point.

The recovery points appear in the main frame.

3.
Optionally, expand the recovery point you want to mount to reveal individual disk volumes or databases.
4.
Right-click the recovery point you want to mount, and then select one of the following options:
