Recovery Solution Map

Keep the following guidelines in mind:

Reinstallation of the operating system requires you to reinstall all the applications on the appliance. With

Symantec Backup Exec, this process can be streamlined through the use of the IDR or SDR.

After the Backup Exec services are started, you must wait for a

minimum of 5 minutes

before making any

changes or starting a new task within Backup Exec.

If there is a non-recoverable failure of the disk group containing the operating system, a reinstallation of the

operating system and all applications is required.

If there is a non-recoverable failure of the disk group containing one or more Symantec Backup Exec backup to

disk or DSF or DDS media sets, a restoration of the backup media sets on that disk group from tape or a

secondary disk is required.

For all non-disk related hardware failures, see the

Hardware Owner’s Manual

for the PowerVault DL2

xxx

system

and the PowerVault MD

xxxx

storage enclosure at support.dell.com/manuals.

Unless you are replacing failed physical disks, do not attempt to add additional storage to the system or storage

enclosures until all recovery procedures have been completed.

Do not run Microsoft Windows Update until all the recovery procedures have been completed.
