Dell PowerVault DL2000 - Manual (Page 40)

13. When prompted, select the disk that holds the backup data.
14. If the disks holding the DDS did not survive the disaster, then a popup message regarding Mismatched Volumes is
displayed.
The DDS volume is listed under Mismatched Volumes. The mismatch regarding the DDS virtual disk and the popup
can be ignored. The virtual disk for the DDS is automatically configured by Storage Provisioning option or manually
configured as part of the recovery procedures discussed in the topic “System Recovery For DL Appliance With
DDS”.
CAUTION: Verify the operating system C: drive partition is assigned to the correct disk. If the C: partition is
incorrect, click on Advanced Disk Configuration, remove the C: drive letter from the incorrect drive and assign it to
the operating system partition on disk 0.
15. Click Next to continue.
16. Click on Recovery to begin the recovery.
SDR cannot recover the content of the DDS. As part of the SDR process, when the backup data of the deduplication
disk storage is encountered, a popup message is displayed: The Recover This Computer Wizard
cannot recover the contents of a deduplication disk storage device.
17. After the SDR recovery process completes, remove the SDR recovery media from the appliance and reboot the
system.
NOTE: If the recovered appliance contained a DDS at the time the failure occurred, see the topic "System Recovery
For DL Appliance With DDS" to continue the recovery process.
Importing Foreign Virtual Disks During IDR Or SDR Recovery
If the repair of the PowerVault DL2 xxx system includes replacing one or more PERC adapters, the virtual disks require a
foreign import operation the first time you boot the recovered system.
To perform a foreign import operation, follow the steps below:
1. Press <F>for the PERC adapter to automatically import the foreign virtual disks.
2. Press <CTRL><R>when the PERC adapter information is displayed during the boot up sequence to start the PERC
adapter Configuration Utility.
Within this tool, if required, you can create a foreign import operation for each PERC adapter. For additional
information, see the
Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals
based on the PERC adapter model in the PowerVault DL2 xxx system.
3. In the PERC adapter Configuration Utility, ensure that the appropriate virtual disk is selected as the boot VD.
Recovering The Appliance System Disk Without Using IDR Or SDR
The operating system is pre-installed on the appliance. Perform the following procedures if the operating system is
corrupt or unusable and requires reinstallation.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the IDR or SDR option that is part of Backup Exec to recover the system in
the event of a software or hardware failure. For more information for systems running Backup Exec versions prior
to Backup Exec 2012, see topic "Recovering the Appliance System Disk Using IDR". For Backup Exec 2012 or later,
see topic "Recovering The Appliance System Disk Using SDR".
