Disaster Recovery

Troubleshooting Disaster Recovery on Windows

	'System may not boot after disaster recovery.
	If the boot and system volumes are both physically located below 7.8
	GB, this error message can be ignored. The boot and system
	partitions on Windows NT 4.0 must namely be physically bellow the
	first 7.8 GB due to the operating system limitations. Refer to MSDN
	Q224526.
Problem	Blank Screen During Recovery
	Certain system configurations have been encountered where the video
	display does not work, if Windows is started in safe mode. This error is
	not related to Data Protector and can occur even if only Windows is
	installed.
Action	If the screen is blank during disaster recovery, this does not mean that
	the recovery has failed. You can monitor the progress of disaster recovery
	on the Cell Manager or use ping and telnet 5555 (or appropriate)
	commands from another client to see if the target system responds.
	Other indicators that the recovery is still in progress are that the device
	is working and that hard disk lights are blinking.
	If the target system responds to ping and telnet 5555 commands, but
	hard disk lights are not blinking and the device is not active, it is
	possible that the auto logon failed. Press Enter to log on using the
	administrator’s account with a blank password.
	The display on the restored system will then work just as it did at
	backup time.
Problem	Network is Not Available During Restore
Action	Ensure that the problem is not with switch, cables, etc. Another
	possibility is also that the DNS server (as configured at backup time) is
	offline during the restore. Since the configuration of the DR OS is the
	same as at backup time, the network will not be available. In this case
	perform offline restore and change the DNS settings after recovery. You
	can also edit the registry
	(HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\
	Parameters) before Phase 2 is started. In this case you have to reboot
	before Phase 2 for the changes to take effect. After Phase 2 finishes, you
	can correct the settings before Phase 3 can be started.
