Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) solution

To perform BMR from existing Arcserve Appliance to another fresh Arcserve Appliance, follow these steps:

  1. Create a data store on the fresh Arcserve Appliance 8400 and backup Arcserve Appliance 8200 to this data store.

    2. Note: You can just ignore the following warning:

    The Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server data store is configured on volume X:,Y:. This volume will not be backed up.

  2. After the backup, perform BMR on the Appliance 8400 using the recovery point you get on the step above and select driver megasas.inf manually.

  3. After the BMR, restart the Appliance 8400 according to the system prompt.

  4. Now, rebuild the network switch on 8400 Appliance.

  5. Run the following command with PowerShell:

    6. C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Engine\BIN\Appliance\Rebuild-VMSwitch.ps1

  6. Now, follow these steps to copy the data on 8200 Appliance to 8400 Appliance and import the data on to 8400 Appliance:

    1. Stop all the UDP services on Arcserve Appliance 8200 using the following command in the command line:

      2. C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Management\BIN> cmdutil.exe /stopall

    2. Copy all the data on disk X and Y from Arcserve Appliance 8200 to 8400 manually.
