Create and Verify the Bootable Live CD

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

Live CD is a complete bootable computer operating system which runs in the computer's memory, rather than loading from the hard disk. Live CD 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 Live CD:

   # ./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 Live CD. If you want to use the Live CD on a virtual network, you can directly mount the LiveCD.iso file to the virtual machine. If you want to use you the Live CD 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.
