6 System recovery
This chapter describes how to use the System Recovery DVD that is provided with your storage system.
The System Recovery DVD
The HP StorageWorks Storage System Recovery DVD that is provided with your storage system allows
you to install an image or recover from a catastrophic failure.
At any later time, you may boot from the DVD and restore the server to the factory condition. This
allows you to recover the system if all other means to boot the server fail.
While the recovery process makes every attempt to preserve the existing data volumes, you should
have a backup of your data if at all possible before recovering the system.
To restore a factory image
1.
Insert the System Recovery DVD. The main window appears.
2.
Choose
Restore Factory Image
.
NOTE:
If your storage system's DVD drive is not functional, or if your storage system does not have a DVD
drive, you can run the system recovery from a bootable USB flash drive.
The DON'T ERASE partition
The DON'T ERASE logical disk supports the restoration process only and does not host a secondary
operating system. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the Recovery and Installation DVD
to restore the server to the factory state.
Managing disks after a restoration
After a system has been restored, drive letters may be assigned to the wrong volume. Windows
Storage Server 2008 assigns drive letters after the restoration in the order of discovery. To help
maintain drive letter information, placing the drive letter into a volume label is recommended. To
change the drive letters to the appropriate one, go into Disk Management and perform the following
steps for each volume:
1.
Right-click the volume that needs to be changed.
2.
Select
Change drive Letter and Paths
.
3.
In the
Change drive Letter and Paths
dialog box, select
