Remote disaster recovery (ProLiant servers only)
The HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE) on ProLiant servers gives the IT Administrator
the ability to completely recover a failed server at a remote location without physically
traveling to where the server resides. The on-site, non-technical person need only insert the
bootable cartridge into the tape drive, when asked to do so by the administrator.
Refer to the HP OBDR web site at
www.hp.com/go/obdr
for more information about using
this feature and compatibility.
Testing for compatibility
We recommend that you perform a full disaster recovery immediately after installation—if
possible, onto a blank hard disk. If you do not have a blank hard disk and do not want to
overwrite your system, you can safely cancel the disaster recovery process at step 3 in the
following procedure.
Refer to our connectivity web site (
www.hp.com/go/connect
) for more information about
suitable backup applications.
Running HP OBDR
HP OBDR can only be used with backup applications that support one-button disaster
recovery and methods of operating OBDR will vary between different software companies.
Check our World Wide Web site (
www.hp.com/go/obdr
) for the latest information about
firmware upgrades and troubleshooting before you use HP OBDR.
1
Lift the cartridge door and insert the latest bootable cartridge in the tape drive (see Figure
10a). The cartridge must be written by a backup application that writes data to tape in CD-
ROM format.
2
Hold down the eject button of the tape drive.Keeping the eject button pressed down, power on
your tape drive (see Figure 10b) and switch on your server (see Figure 10c). This activates the
HP One-Button Disaster Recovery process. Release the button as soon as the Ready LED on the
front panel flashes in the OBDR sequence. This is a repeated pattern of: flashing-steady on-
flashing.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the operating system (see Figure 10d). These will
vary depending upon the backup software. Normally, you can accept the default response to
all the prompts, for example, just press <Enter>.
4
The LEDs will flash in OBDR mode (as described in step 2) while the tape drive restores your
operating system to a state, where it can run a normal data restore.
Keyboard shortcut for HP ProLiant servers
There is no need to press the Eject button. Just power on your server and press the [F8]
Function key during the Power On Self Test (POST). This invokes OBDR to restore your system.
