The injected drivers appear highlighted in the Drivers pane.
Creating the boot cd
To create a boot CD, after you have named the boot CD and specified the path, created a connection
and optionally injected the drivers, from the Create Boot CD screen, click Create Boot CD. The ISO
image is then created.
Viewing the iso image creation progress
To view the ISO image creation progress, select the Events tab, and then under Tasks, you can monitor
the progress for building the ISO image.
NOTE: You can also view the progress of the creation of the ISO image in the Monitor Active Task
dialog box.
When the creation of the ISO image is complete, it is available on the Boot CDs page, accessible from the
Tools menu.
Accessing the iso image
To access the ISO image, navigate to the output path you specified, or you can click the link to download
the image to a location from which you can then load it on the new system. For example, network drive.
Loading a boot CD
When you have created the boot CD image, boot the target server with the newly created boot CD.
NOTE: If you created the boot CD using DHCP, note the IP address and password.
To load a boot CD:
1.
Navigate to the new server, load the boot CD, and then start the machine.
2.
Specify to Boot from CD-ROM, which loads the following:
•
Windows 7 PE
•
AppAssure Agent software
The AppAssure Universal Recovery Console starts and displays the IP address and authentication
password for the machine.
3.
Record the IP address displayed in the Network Adapters Settings pane and the authentication
password displayed in the Authentication pane. You will use this information later during the data
recovery process to log back on to the console.
4.
If you want to change the IP address, select it and click Change.
NOTE: If you specified an IP address in Create Boot CD dialog box, the Universal Recovery
Console uses it and displays it in the Network Adapter settings screen.
Injecting drivers to your target server
If you are restoring to dissimilar hardware, you must inject storage controller, RAID, AHCI, chipset and
other drivers if they are not already on the boot CD. These drivers make it possible for the operating
system to operate all devices on your target server successfully.
If you are unsure which drivers your target server requires, click the System Info tab in the Universal
Recovery Console. This tab shows all system hardware and device types for the target server to which
you want to restore.
NOTE: Keep in mind that your target server automatically contains Windows 7 PE 32-bit drivers.
