Create and Verify the Bootable LiveCD

LiveCD creates the Linux Backup Server's environment without installing the software. LiveCD facilitates BMR using IP in a private network.

LiveCD is a complete bootable computer operating system which runs in the computer's memory, rather than loading from the hard disk. LiveCD allows you to experience and evaluate an operating system without installing it or changing the existing operating system on the computer.

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the bin folder using the following command:

    # cd /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/bin

  2. Run the following command to create a LiveCD:

    # ./makelivecd

  3. Navigate to the following location and verify that the LiveCD.iso file is created:

    /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/packages

You have successfully created and verified the bootable LiveCD. If you want to use the LiveCD on a virtual network, you can directly mount the LiveCD.iso file to the virtual machine. If you want to use you the LiveCD on a physical machine, then you must burn the LiveCD.iso image on a media file (CD or DVD) and then use the media file to boot your machine.
