Disaster Recovery

One Button Disaster Recovery of a Windows System

Requirements

•Data Protector Automatic Disaster Recovery and User Interface components must be installed on the systems for which you want to enable recovery using this method. See HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide.

•It is essential to have an OBDR capable computer configuration: 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 OBDR device must conform to the same standard when emulating the CD-ROM. The BIOS options can either be checked in the user’s manuals of the system or by inspecting the system setup before the boot.

For more information about supported systems, devices and media, please refer to the HP StorageWorks Tape Hardware Compatibility Table on the World Wide Web:

http://www.openview.hp.com/products/datapro/spec_0001.html. Also see the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Software Release Notes.

•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.

•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 the

<%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.

•A media pool with a Non-appendablemedia usage policy and Loose media allocation policy has to be created for the OBDR capable device. Only the media from such pool can be used for disaster recovery.
