Bare Metal Recovery
The term “bare metal recovery” comes from the idea that you are restoring a device to working
order after a catastrophic failure. While the process will get your G-RACK 12 in working order it does
not restore data that was on the drives. For that you will have to run your backup/restore software
against the backups you were taking all along.
What you need to get started.
•
There is a list of items you need to complete this task:
•
G-RACK 12 with all the electronic components in place and properly working. This process fails if
you do not have the drives in the unit.
•
A G-Technology provided USB key with the restoration software pre-loaded.
•
USB Keyboard
•
Monitor
Connections.
•
With the unit powered off attach the keyboard and USB Key to the USB ports on the rear of the
unit.
•
Attach the monitor to either the VGA or the DVI ports.
•
Make sure you have power cords attached to the power supplies
•
To aid in the recovery process you should also have the Ethernet cable attached to either the
DHCP or Static ports.
