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 ( http://www.hp.com/go/obdr ) for the latest information about software compatibility, firmware
upgrades and troubleshooting before you use HP OBDR.
1. Power on the drive and insert the latest bootable cartridge in the tape drive (you may also need
to power on the server to do this). The cartridge must be written by a backup application that
writes data to tape in CD-ROM format.

2. Hold down the eject button on the tape drive and keep it pressed down while power cycling the
tape drive. This activates the HP One-Button Disaster Recovery process. Release the button as soon
as the LEDs flash in OBDR sequence, which is:
HP StorageWorks DAT 160 tape drives: The Ready light shows a repeated pattern of flashing-steady
on-flashing.
HP StorageWorks DAT 72 and DAT 40 tape drives: The Tape light and the Clean light on the front
panel flash alternately.

during the Power On Self Test (POST). This invokes OBDR to restore your system. For more information
and specific instructions please refer to our World Wide Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/obdr .

response to all the prompts, for example just press <Enter>.
