4. TO RECOVER the CE OS USING AN EMERGENCY
RECOVERY COPY
The CE is down already (it cannot be booted, due to the problem
we are recovering from). Perform the following:
a. Choose the IOP best suited to support the recovery and
reboot it into Marathon Off-line Mode. (Choose an IOP that
is known to have a good copy of the CE BOOT DISK.)
b. Determine the drive letter where the CE OS resides. (D: for
purposes of the following discussion).
c. Determine the drive letter where the EMERGENCY
RECOVERY COPY exists (X: for purposes of the following
discussion.)
d. Determine the pathname where mtccpynt.exe can be located
(CD-ROM Z:\support for purposes of the following
discussion.)
e. Execute mtccpynt to reverse the procedure that created the
EMERGENCY RECOVERY COPY. (Browse the marathon
CDROM and run z:\support\mtccpynt x:\winnt d:).
NOTE
Note that during the copy process you will be prompted to
overwrite existing directories (except if the disk is empty).
Answer yes in all cases.
f. Perform a Marathon software installation for the CE ONLY
while operating on the IOP (in off line mode).
g. Select Endurance Software Installation
h. Check CE and explicitly un-check IOP
i. When prompted for the location of the CE root browse or
enter d:\winnt (the target of the mtccpynt command - and the
CE_BOOT device).
j. If prompted to overwrite files that are newer on disk - choose
NO for all files that begin with “mtc”. Such files are
Marathon components that have been upgraded via a hotfix
installation. By choosing NO it will not be necessary to
reapply the Marathon hotfixes.
k. Reboot the IOP(s) in Operational Mode
l. The CE WILL NOW BOOT!
m. Consider performing the appropriate series of restore
operations (from your most recent backups) to bring the disk
up-to-date.
