Disaster Recovery Procedural Overview Disaster Recovery Procedural Overview The procedure described in this section for responding to a catastrophic event is general in nature and may result in the loss of data. Should such an event actually occur, the exact procedure to follow will vary according to environmental conditions. Adaptec strongly recommends that you contact a technical service representative before proceeding. This section describes a worst-case scenario: • The operating system has failed, (e.g., due to a malicious attack to the root file system), and you cannot access the server. • The data has been corrupted and must be restored from tape. • Technical support has deemed your server unsalvagable and provided you with a new, unconfigured server. Restoring Previous Server Settings to a New Server After Technical Support has supplied you with a new server, you can restore the settings from the previous server to the new server. Any third-party license keys you have not purchased through Adaptec will be lost. If you have installed data replication or management utilities such as Snap EDR, you will need to re-install and/or relicense them for use with the new server. Note If you are restoring EDR Management Console settings, you must recreate the RAID and volume configuration that matches the DRI settings, then install and enable the EDR Management Console. As an alternative, you can first restore just the system settings, install EDR, and then restore just the EDR settings. You will also need to reschedule snapshots as well reconfigure CA Antivirus. Note If you are restoring the DRImage to the same server, all your license keys should be intact. You will still need to reschedule your snapshots and CA Antivirus. 1 When you connect to the new server, navigate to Maintenance > Disaster Recovery, select Recover System Settings and click OK. 2 Click the Browse button and navigate to the Snap DRImage you made of the previous server, then click OK. 3 The server will reboot and the settings will be restored. To view the log, click the date link on the Disaster Recovery screen after the server has rebooted. 4 After restoring your server settings, rejoin the server to the Windows domain if necessary.
