Perform a BMR Migration from Amazon EC2 to the local Machine

Before you perform a migration BMR from Amazon EC2, you have to restore data from the source to an EC2 instance. To restore the data temporarily, you can perform an Instant VM to the EC2 instance. After the EC2 instance is ready to use, you can continue working on the instance.

When the actual local machine is ready, you can perform a migration BMR from the Amazon EC2 instance to the actual local machine.

Note: For more information about performing a BMR, see How to Perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) for Linux Machines.

Follow these steps:

1. Access the Restore Wizard in one of the following ways:
   • From Arcserve UDP:
     1. Log on to Arcserve UDP.
     2. Click the resources tab.
     3. Select All Nodes in the left pane.

        All the added nodes are displayed in the center pane.

     4. In the center pane, select the node and click Actions.
     5. Click Restore from the Actions dropdown menu.

        The Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) web interface opens. The restore type selection dialog is displayed in the Agent UI.

     6. Select the restore type and click OK.

        Note: You are automatically logged in to the agent node and the Restore Wizard opens from the agent node.

   • From Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux):
     1. Open the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) web interface.

        Note: During the installation of Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux), you received the URL to access and manage the server.

     2. Log in to Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux).

2. Click Restore from the Wizard menu and select Migration BMR.

   The Backup Server page of the Restore Wizard - Migration BMR opens.

3. Perform the following steps, and then click Next:
1. Select Remote server as Server Location.
2. Specify the Linux Backup Server on Amazon EC2 to connect to the server.
3. Enter Host Name, User Name, Password, Protocol, and Port for the Linux Backup Server.
4. Click Refresh, select the restore job from the Job Name drop-down list.
5. The list displays the Instant VM recovery job that is in the Ready to use job phase or Power off job phase, when ready to use.

2. The Recovery Points section appears.
4. From the Recovery Points section, perform the following steps, and click Connect.
• Specify the RPS server that was created locally.
• Select the corresponding data store.
• The machine is automatically loaded according to the Instant VM job.
• Select the session and click Next.
5. You are automatically taken to the Target Machine tab.
5. On the Target Machine section, enter the MAC/IP address, and click Next.
6. Note: You can boot a local machine with LiveCD to get the MAC/IP address.
7. You are led to the Advanced section.
6. In the Advanced section, configure the Pre/Post Scripts, and then click Next.
7. The Summary section appears.
7. Specify the job name and click Submit.
8. A BMR job is performed on the machine booted with LiveCD.
8. From the Linux agent home page, navigate to the Job Status tab and click Click here to migrate data.
9. The data on Amazon EC2 VM is migrated to your local machine.

You have successfully performed a migration BMR.
