Automated System Recovery

installation check box to copy DR installation files to the same location. The recommended destination is your floppy drive because you will need these files stored on diskettes (ASR set) to perform ASR.

Data Protector will create two diskettes for a 32 bit Windows system and three diskettes for a 64 bit Windows system. ASR set for the Cell Manager has to be prepared in advance, while you can prepare ASR diskettes for other systems using the Cell Manager when a disaster occurs.

Once the ASR set is created, you have to update only the first diskette (which contains ASR information) after each hardware, software or configuration change. This also applies to any network configuration changes, such as a change of the IP address or DNS server. In order to update the first diskette from the ASR set, repeat the whole procedure, but you do not have to select the Copy DR installation check box. This option copies the DR installation files (to a selected destination), which do not need to be updated.

IMPORTANT	It is recommended to restrict access to ASR diskettes due to security
	reasons.

Local Devices If you are using a locally attached device for ASR, test if it is supported. To do so, perform the following steps:

1.Run devbra -devfrom the command prompt (from

<Data_Protector_home>\bin).

2.Rename the scsitab file (located in <Data_Protector_home>) and run devbra -devfrom the command prompt again.

3.Compare the both outputs of the devbra -devcommand. If they are identical, ASR using this device is possible, otherwise copy the scsitab file to the first ASR diskette. You have to copy the scsitab file only the first time you are preparing the ASR set. You do not have to copy it when you are only updating the ASR set. Refer to the “Support of New Devices” on page 41 for more information.

4.Rename the scsitab file back to the original name.
