Naming the Boot CD File and Setting the Path
Complete the following step to name the boot CD file and set the path where the ISO
image is stored.
To name the boot CD file and set the path
 In the Create Boot CD dialog box, in Output Options, in the Output path text box,
enter the path where you want to store the boot CD ISO image on the Core server.
If the shared drive on which you want to store the image is low on disk space, you
can set the path as needed; for example, D:\filename.iso.
NOTE: The file extension must be .iso. When specifying the path, use only
alphanumeric characters, the hyphen, the backslash (only as a path delimiter), and
the period (only to separate host names and domains). The letters a to z are case-
insensitive. Do not use spaces. No other symbols or punctuation characters are
permitted.
Creating Connections
Complete the following steps to create the connections.
To create connections
1. In Connection Options, do one of the following:
 To obtain the IP address dynamically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), select Obtain IP address automatically.
 Optionally, to specify a static IP address for the recovery console, select Use the
following IP address and enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and
DNS server in the appropriate fields. You must specify all four of these fields.
2. If required, in the UltraVNC Options, select Add UltraVNC and then enter the
UltraVNC options. The UltraVNC settings enable you to manage the recovery
console remotely while it is in use.
NOTE: This step is optional. If you require remote access to the recovery console,
you must configure and use the UltraVNC. You cannot log on using Microsoft
Terminal Services while using the boot CD.
Injecting Drivers in a Boot CD
The boot CD image requires storage drivers to recognize the drives of the server, and
network adapter drivers in order to communicate with the AppAssure 5 Core over
the network.
A generic set of Windows 7 PE 32-bit storage controller and network adapter drivers
are included automatically when you generate a boot CD for Windows. This will
satisfy the requirements of newer Dell systems. Systems from other manufacturers
or older Dell systems may require you to inject storage controller or network adapter
drivers when creating the boot CD.
When creating the boot CD, driver injection is used to facilitate the operability
between the recovery console, network adapter, and storage on the target server.
