Disaster Recovery

Enhanced Automated Disaster Recovery of a Windows System

Any remaining partitions can be recovered using the standard Data Protector recovery procedure.

The following sections explain the limitations, preparation, and recovery that pertains to EADR of the Windows clients. See also “Advanced Recovery Tasks” on page 490.

Before selecting this method of disaster recovery, consider the following requirements and limitations:

Requirements

•The Data Protector Automatic Disaster Recovery component must be installed on clients for which you want to enable recovery using this method and on the system, where the DR CD ISO image will be prepared. See HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide.

•The hardware configuration of the target system must be the same as of the original system. This includes SCSI BIOS settings (sector remapping).

•Replacement disks have to be attached to the same host bus adapter on the same bus.

•Boot partition has to be larger than 100 MB or disaster recovery will fail.

•An additional 200 MB of free disk space is required on the boot partition at backup time. If this disk space is not available, the disaster recovery fails. If you had applied the Compress Drive on the original partition, you must have 400 MB free.

•All drivers required for boot must be installed under <%SystemRoot%> folder.

•Network must be available when you boot the system in Safe Mode with Networking or in Directory Services Restore Mode (Domain Controller only), but you must do the backup of the system after it was booted with normal boot process.

•The system’s BIOS must support bootable CD extensions as defined in the El-Torito standard and read/write access to hard disk drive using LBA addressing via INT13h function XXh. The BIOS options can either be checked in the user’s manuals of the system or by inspecting the system setup before the boot.
