Windows 2000 Preparation During Primary Server Setup Planning for a successful disaster recovery begins when you set up your primary server machine. Perform the following procedure when you install BrightStor ARCserve Backup and BrightStor ARCserve Backup Disaster Recovery Option on your primary server (IBM Netfinity 6000R). Note: No EISA partition was used for this scenario. 1. Note the hardware RAID configuration. For example, in this scenario, we have the following: ■ Two disks of 18.2 GB and four disks of 36.4 GB connected to IBM ServeRAID-4H controller. ■ All six disks configured into a single RAID 5 volume of 86.785 GB data space and 17.357 GB parity space Note: The option does not recreate the hardware RAID volumes. You must manually recreate the hardware RAID configuration. 2. Add the CD provided by the hardware vendor (to create the RAID volumes) to the disaster recovery kit for this server machine. In this example, it is the IBM Server Guide 6.0.9a Setup and Installation CD. 3. Save the extra hardware drivers you installed (by pressing F6) when you initially set up your Windows 2000 server. Add these disks to the disaster recovery kit for this machine. You must provide these drivers again during disaster recovery. In this example, save the Qlogic QLA2310F PCI Fiber Channel Adapter and the IBM Server RAID 5.10 adapter driver disks. Note: If you do not know the devices installed on the Windows server machine, look in Device Manager. If your system has failed, open the CardDesc.txt file on the machine-specific disk to see a summary of the devices and drivers. 4. Start BrightStor ARCserve Backup and perform a full machine backup. 5. Create a disaster recovery bootable CD using the Boot Kit Wizard. For more information, see the section Preparing for a Disaster Using the Bootable CD Method in the "Disaster Recovery on Windows 2000" chapter of this guide. 6. Add the disaster recovery bootable CD and the machine-specific disk to the disaster recovery kit for this system. 6-10 Disaster Recovery Option Guide
