in advance during the disaster recovery session, before they are restored in
the Data Protector restore session. The option is selected by default.
• Remove Boot Descriptor: Available only on Intel Itanium systems. Removes
all Boot Descriptors left over by the disaster recovery processes. See “Intel
Itanium specifics” on page 146
• Manual disk selection: Available only on Intel Itanium systems. If the disk
setup has changed significantly, the disaster recovery module may not be
able to find the boot disk(s). Use this option to select the correct boot disk.
See “Intel Itanium specifics” on page 146.
Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems:
If the volumes are encrypted using BitLocker Drive Encryption, a menu will display,
enabling you to unlock the encrypted drives. See “Unlocking volumes locked
with Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption” on page 112.
6. After you have selected the scope of recovery, Data Protector starts setting up
the DR OS directly to the hard disk. You can monitor the progress and, when
the DR OS is set up, the system restarts. On Windows Vista and Windows Server
2008 systems, the DR OS is not installed and the restart is not performed.
To modify the disaster recovery options, press any key to stop the wizard during
the countdown and modify the options. Click Finish to continue with the disaster
recovery.
7. If the disaster recovery backup is encrypted and you are either recovering the
Cell Manager or a client where the Cell Manager is not accessible, the following
prompt will appear:
Do you want to use AES key file for decryption [y/n]?
Press y.
Ensure that the keystore (DR-ClientName-keys.csv) is available on the client
(for example, by inserting a CD-ROM, floppy disk, or USB flash drive) and enter
the full path to the keystore file. The keystore file is copied to the default location
on the DR OS and is used by the Disk Agents. Disaster recovery now continues
without further interruption.
8. If you are performing an offline recovery and the information in the SRD file is
not up to date (for example, because you changed the backup device after the
disaster), edit the SRD file, before you can continue with this procedure. Refer
to “Recovery using an edited SRD file” on page 108.
