 AppAssure 5 Agent software
The AppAssure Universal Recovery Console starts and displays the IP address and
authentication password for the machine.
NOTE: A new temporary password is generated each time the machine is started
with the boot CD. Write down the IP address displayed in the Network Adapters
Settings pane and the authentication password displayed in the Authentication pane.
You will need this information later during the data recovery process to log back on
to the console.
3. If you want to change the IP address, select it and click Change.
NOTE: If you specified an IP address in the Create Boot CD dialog box, the Universal
Recovery Console will use it and display it in the Network Adapter settings screen.
Once started with the boot CD, this machine is ready for the user to connect to it
from the Core to begin the bare metal restore process.
Launching a Bare Metal Restore for Windows
Before launching a bare metal restore (BMR) for a Windows machine, certain
conditions are required.
To restore a recovery point saved on the Core, you must have the appropriate
hardware in place. For more information, see “Prerequisites for Performing a Bare
Metal Restore for a Windows Machine” on page 158.
The BMR destination Windows machine must be started using the boot CD image.
For more information, see “Managing a Windows Boot Image” on page 159.
The first step is to select the appropriate recovery point, then initiate the rollback to
the hardware by specifying the IP address and temporary password you obtained
from the Universal Recovery Console.
You must then map the drives and start the rollback.
The recovery point includes drivers from the previous hardware. If restoring to
dissimilar hardware, then you must inject storage controller drivers into the
operating system being restored using the URC after the data has been restored to
the drive, This allows the restored operating system to boot using the new set of
hardware. Once the OS is booted after the restore, you can then download and install
any additional drivers needed by the OS to interact with its new hardware.
To launch a BMR from the AppAssure 5 Core Console, perform the following tasks.
 “Selecting a Recovery Point and Initiating Rollback for BMR” on page 165
 “Mapping Volumes for a Bare Metal Restore” on page 166
 “Injecting Drivers to Your Target Server” on page 167
This process is a step in “Roadmap for Performing a Bare Metal Restore for a Windows
Machine” on page 157.
