Recover using a Hyper-V Virtual Standby VM

CA ARCserve D2D provides the capability to perform Bare Metal Recovery for V2P (Virtual to Physical) machines. This feature lets you perform V2P recovery from the latest state of a standby virtual machine and helps you reduce the loss of your production machine.

After you select the "Recover using a Hyper-V Virtual Standby VM" option, perform the following steps before returning to the Bare Metal Recovery procedure to complete the process.

Follow these steps:

1. From the select the Type of Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) wizard screen, select the Recover using a Hyper-V Virtual Standby VM option.

   

2. Click Next.

   The Select a virtual machine snapshot screen is displayed, with the Hyper-V Authentication dialog, prompting you for Hyper-v server details.

   

3. Enter the authentication information and click OK.

   CA ARCserve D2D detects and displays the Hyper-V Server with a listing of all the virtual machines that are converted to the specified Hyper-V server using CA ARCserve Central Virtual Standby.

   

4. Select the virtual machine that contains the recovery point snapshots for your backup image.

   The backup sessions (recovery point snapshots) for the selected virtual machine are displayed.

   

5. Select the virtual machine backup session (recovery point snapshot) that you want to recover.

   The corresponding details for the selected recovery point snapshot (virtual machine name, backup session name, backed up volumes) are displayed in the right pane.

   In addition to selecting one of the listed recovery points, you also have the option to select the "Current State" or the "Latest State" recovery point.

   • If the virtual machine that you are recovering from is powered on, the "Current State" recovery point is displayed.
   • If the virtual machine that you are recovering from is powered off, the "Latest State" recovery point is displayed.

     If you select the "Latest State" recovery point, an error message is displayed to inform you that the recovery point you are recovering from is the Latest (and not the Current) state and requesting that you start the virtual machine before continuing with the recovery process.

6. Verify this is the recovery point that you want to restore and click Next.

   A BMR wizard screen is displayed with the available recovery mode options.

   See Perform Bare Metal Recovery for the remaining steps of this procedure and continue at the corresponding step where the recovery mode is selected.
