2. Insert the PSM recovery diskette in the diskette drive of the node, and restart
the node.
3. The recovery process begins. The PSM recovery diskette software locates the
first backup image it can find, based on the backup locations specified when the
diskette was created. When it locates a backup image, it begins restoring the
system drive from the image. During the restore operation, the hard disk drive
LED (on the front right of the node’s hard disk drive) will flash green or stay
nearly solid green; this indicates write activity to the system volume.
Note:
If the hard-disk drive LED stays off for at least 10 minutes since you
restarted the node, then there is a problem with the recovery procedure
and it will not be able to restore the system volume from a backup
image. Should this occur, you will need to restore the system drive as
described in Chapter 9, “Using the Recovery and Supplementary
CD-ROMs” on page 111.
4. When the restore operation completes, the hard disk drive LED turns off, and a
short song will play periodically (every 15 seconds). Remove the diskette, set
the write-protection tab back to the write-enabled position, and reinsert the
diskette. The log file RESULTS.HTM will be written to the diskette; this log file
can be viewed with any Web browser to examine the results of the restore
operation.
5. When the log file is written, another song will play (continuously). Remove the
diskette and restart the node. If the restore was successful, the node will come
back up in the state it was in at the time when you created the backup image
used for the recovery operation.
Note:
The persistent image that was created on the system drive (named
System Backup
) by the backup process is restored by the restore
process as it is preserved in the backup image. It is recommended that
you now delete that persistent image as it is no longer needed. On the
Persistent Images panel, select the persistent image named
System
Backup
on drive C: from the list of persistent images, then click
Delete
,
then click
OK
on the Delete Persistent Image panel that appears.
If the restore was unsuccessful, then you must use the Recovery CD-ROM as
described in Chapter 9, “Using the Recovery and Supplementary CD-ROMs” on
page 111.
Rebuilding the maintenance partition
If this is a new hard drive or if the Maintenance (D:) partition is unusable, you must
rebuild the Maintenance partition by performing the following steps:
1. Start Disk Management on the node. You can do this in one of two ways:
v
Start a Terminal Services session to the node, then click the
IBM NAS
Admin
icon, and then from the IBM NAS Administration console that
appears, select
Computer Management
, then
Disk Management
.
v
Start a Windows 2000 for NAS user interface session to the node, then select
Disks and Volumes
, then select
Disks
, and then provide your administrator
user name and password when prompted.
2. In the Disk Management window, right-click the unallocated area of Disk 0, and
then click
Create Partition
.
3. In the Create Partition wizard, click
Next
and select
Primary Partition
.
4. Click
Next
and select
D:
as the drive letter.
5. Click
Next
and select
FAT32
as the file system and change the drive label to
Maintenance
.
