IBM 201 manual NAS 200 User’s Reference

Important

The Recovery Enablement Diskette enables the NAS 200 to start from the CD-ROM drive. You will not be able to restore the preload image from the Recovery CD Set without first restarting the appliance using the Recovery Enablement Diskette.

3.Remove the Recovery Enablement Diskette from the diskette drive of the appliance.

4.Place Recovery CD 1 in the CD-ROM drive of the appliance and restart the appliance.

5.If you have installed more processor memory on the failed node, the BIOS configuration program will now appear. Click Continue on the first screen, then click Continue again, then click Exit Setup, and finally, click Yes, save and exit Setup.

6.The recovery process will begin automatically. Follow the instructions provided by the image restoration software, and the original manufacturing preload will be restored. During the restoration of the preload, you will be prompted to insert the other recovery CDs into the CD-ROM drive. Once the preload image is restored, the node restarts automatically.

7.If you have installed more processor memory, the BIOS configuration program will now appear a second time. Click Continue on the first screen, then click Continue again, then click Exit Setup, and finally, click Yes, save and exit Setup. You may now detach the keyboard and display from the appliance and allow the recovery process to complete automatically.

Important

vAfter the appliance restarts, a series of configuration and system preparation programs that finish configuring the appliance run automatically. These programs must finish running before you use any included applications (such as the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility or the Terminal Services Client) to connect to or configure your NAS 200. Do not connect to or configure the appliance for at least 15 minutes after system restart. This notice applies only to the first time the NAS 200 is started after using the Recovery CD Set.

vLogical Disk 0 will be configured to have a 6-GB NTFS boot partition. Any other previously configured logical disk drives, as well as the remainder of Logical Disk 0 (which, on the original hard disk drive of the appliance, contains the Maintenance partition, but for a replacement hard disk drive would not contain any other partitions), will be left unchanged.

8.Reinstall all software updates you had installed on the appliance since you installed the NAS 200 out of the box. Or, if the Recovery CD Set you used in this procedure is a newer version than the one you received with the NAS 200, reinstall only those software updates that are newer than those on the Recovery CD Set.
