■ Install Norton Ghost on the servers that you want to protect, and then define
and run backups to create recovery points.
■ Run the LightsOut Restore Wizard to install the Symantec recovery
environment to the local file system.
The wizard also creates an entry in the Windows boot menu that can be used
to boot to the recovery environment.
Note: LightsOut Restore works only on the primary operating system. It does
not work on multiple-boot computers (for example, computer that boot multiple
operating systems from the same partition). LightsOut Restore is accessible
only from the boot menu. If the file system becomes corrupt and you cannot
access the boot menu, you must boot the computer from the CD.
Note: The LightsOut Restore feature requires at least 1 gigabyte of memory
to run.
■ When you need to recover and file or system from a remote location, use the
RILO or DRAC device to connect to the remote server, and power on the system
or restart it.
■ As the remote server starts, open the boot menu, and then select the Symantec
recovery environment.
The remote server boots into the Symantec recovery environment and the
connection through RILO or DRAC is lost. A pcAnywhere thin host
automatically starts.
■ Use Symantec pcAnywhere to connect to the pcAnywhere thin host that is
waiting on the remote server.
■ Through pcAnywhere, use the recovery environment to restore individual
files, or entire drives.
Configuring LightsOut Restore
You must run the LightsOut Restore Wizard on the computer that you want to
protect. The LightsOut Restore Wizard installs the Symantec recovery environment
to the local file system. The wizard also creates an entry in the Windows boot
menu that you use to boot into the recovery environment.
