Create and Run the Restore Job

Create and run the restore job so that you can initiate the process of BMR. Verify the recovery point information before you perform a BMR. If needed, you can go back and can change the restore settings.

Follow these steps:

  1. Verify the restore details on the Summary page of the Restore Wizard.
  2. (Optional) Click Previous to modify the restore settings on any of the Restore Wizard pages.
  3. Enter a job name and click Submit.

    The Job Name field has a default name initially. You can enter a new job name of your choice but you cannot leave this field empty.

    The Restore Wizard closes. You can see the job in the Job Status tab. If you use the IP address for the BMR, the target machine automatically reboots to the same operating system as the backup source after the BMR process.

    If you use the MAC address for BMR, the status in the Job Status tab changes to Waiting for target node startup.

  4. (Optional) For BMR using the MAC address, start the target machine when you see the Waiting for target node startup message in the Job Status tab.

    Note: If the target machine is already started before you submit the restore job, you must restart the target machine. Ensure that BIOS is configured to boot from the network.

    The status in the Job Status column changes to Restoring volume. This indicates the restore is in progress. After the restore job is complete, the target machine automatically reboots with the same operating system as the backup source.

The restore job was successfully created and run.
