Preparing for a Disaster You must have performed a full backup of your machine on the BrightStor ARCserve Backup server, and have the following items before you can start the disaster recovery process: The most current machine-specific disk (for more information, see the section Configuring an Alternate Location in the "Installing the Option" chapter of this guide) The disaster recovery bootable CD (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) IBM ServeRAID 5. 10 Support CD IBM ServerGuide 6. 0. 9a Setup and Installation CD LSI 1030 MPT RAID controller driver disk. Emulex LP8000 Fiber Channel Adapter driver disk The original hardware RAID configuration Disaster Recovery Scenarios 6­7 Windows 2000 Recovering from a Disaster Using IBM Setup CDs To recover from a disaster using IBM Setup CDs, perform the following steps: 1. Boot the server machine (IBM xSeries 235) using the IBM ServeRAID 5. 10 Support CD. Follow the IBM guidelines and your original configuration to recreate the hardware RAID configuration. Install the EISA partition as it was in the original configuration using the IBM ServerGuide 6. 0. 9a Setup and Installation CD. Setting Up Disaster Recovery Bootable CDs To set up a disaster recovery bootable CD, perform the following steps: 1. Start the server machine using the Disaster Recovery Boot CD and follow the on-screen instructions. 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. Insert the machine-specific disk to start the disaster recovery bluescreen mode. Press F6 to add the LSI 1030 MPT RAID controller drivers using the LSI 1030 MPT RAID controller driver disk and the Emulex LP8000 Fiber Channel Adapter driver disk. After Windows loads the drivers from the LSI 1030 MPT RAID controller driver disk and the Emulex LP8000 driver disk, insert the machine-specific disk again. The original system disk configuration is read from the machine-specific disk. Note: The original disk configuration is not restored if this disk is not inserted after the F6 drivers are loaded. After some time, the original partition layout of the machine appears. Select the disk, partition where Windows 2000 was installed, and press Enter. Do not modify the displayed partition structure. The disaster recovery bluescreen mode completes and the machine boots to the Disaster Recovery Wizard. Follow the Disaster Recovery Wizard instructions. The wizard installs the network, and configures, and formats the drives. The system may reboot a few times during this process. When prompted by the Disaster Recovery Wizard, start the data restoration process. When the disaster recovery process finishes, boot back to your previous system configuration. 2. 8. 6­8 Disaster Recovery Option Guide Windows 2000 Scenario 3: Recovering an IBM Netfinity 6000R Using Primary SAN Disaster Recovery The following scenario uses the bootable CD disaster recovery method to recover a primary SAN Windows 2000 machine.

Disaster recovery reads the original disk configuration from the machine-specific disk; if it is not in the drive, disaster recovery cannot recreate the original disk configuration. The correct procedure for adding drivers is as follows: 1. Insert the manufacturer's driver disks when prompted. [. . . ]
