 If appropriate, disconnect all Fibre Channel cables and all externally
connected storage devices from the system.
 Turn on or restart the DVS system and at the indicated moment dur-
ing start-up press [F4] on your keyboard to enter the boot menu.

installed USB flash drive as the boot device and then press [Enter]
on your keyboard.
To abort the process at this point enter n for ’no’ and press
[Enter] on your keyboard. You will be redirected to the DVS
Rescue script.
After starting the process its termination is not possible any-
more.
The backup process may take some time.
If during the process the screen turns black, press [Space] to
get it back again.
Do not execute any commands if you are not sure about the
correct source and target device. For example, selecting the
wrong target device can lead to a total loss of data.
To complete the loading of the DVS Rescue environment
some user entries are required. For this follow the instructions
given on the screen.
The loading of the environment and the recovery process itself
will both try to initialize hardware that may not be present on
your system. Any error messages displayed during loading/ini-
tialization, e.g. Failed or Warning, can be disregarded. The
recovery process should work nonetheless.
Please contact the DVS service department if you are not sure
whether you are able to identify the correct target device.
