Booting a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client

To use the Plug-in Server to back up or restore a target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, you must take the system offline and boot it with the required components. This process is accomplished by booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client machine with the Plug-in Offline Client Boot System (the media created in the processes explained in Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System). Rather than installing software to the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client’s hard drive, this boot system loads a minimal OS to the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client’s memory. Loading the OS to the memory leaves the hard drive inactive (offline) and in a suitable state for either backup or restore.
Booting with Plug-in Offline Client
This process entails the configuration of network equipment installed on the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client; that is, loading driver software for the system’s network interface card or small computer system interface (NIC/SCSI) card to memory to use the device and access the system.
The overall boot process with Plug-in Offline Client can be broken down into two phases. Also, if you are using the Windows® PE-based configuration, you can use one of the following procedures to inject drivers into Windows PE when the network driver is not available on the Windows PE image.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Before starting this procedure, verify the boot order of the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. The machine’s CD-ROM drive must be the first source of a boot for this process to work.
Gathering NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client network information
In this first phase of the process, you gather specific network-related information from the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for use in the boot process (for example, NIC and SCSI interface values). This requirement includes the following values:
•
IP Address
•
Network Mask
•
Gateway
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is configured with multiple NIC/SCSI devices for access, Dell recommends that you gather the preceding information for each device. The Plug-in Offline Client boot process recognizes all these devices and requests that you configure each, individually, with this information (but only one of the devices actually needs to be configured successfully for use).
The following sections offer sample procedures that you can use to obtain these required values, based on the OS in place on the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
Linux®-based NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client
1
Log on locally to the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and initiate a terminal session.
2
At the prompt, type the following command:
ifconfig
3
In the content that is revealed, locate and record the IP Address and the Network Mask values.
4
At the prompt, type the following command:
route
5
In the content that is revealed, locate and record the Gateway value (when the command is issued, this value is revealed as the default value).
Windows®-based NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client
1
Log on locally to the Windows NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and start a Command Prompt session.
2
At the prompt, type the following command:
ipconfig
3
In the content that is revealed, locate and record the IP Address, Subnet Mask (Network Mask), and Default Gateway values.
With all relevant networking information noted, you can boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, as described in the next section, Booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Windows® PE-based Plug-in Offline Client.

Booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Linux®-based Plug-in Offline Client

With all relevant networking information noted, you can boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
To boot the target client:
1
Power down the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and insert the VaultOS CD (if connected through a USB port, the port must use the 2.x protocol or earlier).
On reboot, there is a 5-second delay after the boot prompt appears.
2
Press Enter to start the sequence immediately.
A series of dialog boxes appear as various applications are loaded to system memory. The initial load sequence may take several minutes, during which time the screen may appear blank.
3
When the Network Connections dialog box appears, select the applicable interface, and press Edit.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: You can only use one active network interface during the backup and restore operation.
4
In the Editing Network Interface dialog box, configure the IPv4 and IPv6 settings for the selected network interface.
5
When you are finished, press Apply to return to the Network Connections dialog box, and then press Close.
The Client is now prepared for backup or restore.
