Creating A Bootable CD ISO Image

To perform a BMR for a Windows machine, you must create a bootable CD/ISO image in the AppAssure 5 Core Console,
which contains the AppAssure Universal Recovery Console interface.
NOTE: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international body of representatives from
various national organizations who determine and set file system standards. The ISO 9660 is a file system standard
that is used for optical disk media for the exchange of data and is supports various operating systems, for example,
Windows. An ISO image is the archive file or disk image, which contains data for every sector of the disk as well as
the disk file system.
The AppAssure Universal Recovery Console is an environment that is used to restore the system drive or the entire
server directly from the AppAssure 5 Core. The ISO image that you create is tailored to the machine being restored,
which contains the correct network and mass storage drivers.
To create a bootable CD ISO image:
1. From the AppAssure 5 Core Console where the server you need to restore is located, select the Core and then click
the Tools tab.
2. Click Boot CDs.
3. Select Actions, and then click Create Boot ISO.
The Boot CD Builder Options dialog box is displayed. It contains 3 panes:
– Output
– Options
– Drivers
Creating Connections
To create connections:
1. Navigate to the Options pane.
2. In the Connection area, enter the IP address or DHCP network settings for the recovery console.
Optionally, if you leave the text boxes set to 0.0.0.0 for all connections, the recovery console obtains the network
settings from DHCP.
3. In the Options pane, enter the VNC options in the Ultra VNC area, if needed.
The VNC settings let you manage the recovery console remotely while it is in use.
NOTE: This step is optional. If you need remote access to the recovery console, use and configure the Ultra
VNC. You cannot log on using Microsoft Terminal Services while using the boot CD.
Injecting Drivers In A Boot CD
Driver injection is used to facilitate the operability between the recovery console, network adapter, and storage on the
target server.
