Mounting a Recovery Point Using the Local Mount Utility
Before mounting a recovery point, the local mount utility (LMU) must connect to the 
Core on which the recovery point is stored. As described in the procedure “Adding a 
Core to the Local Mount Utility” on page 76, the number of cores that can be added to 
the LMU is unlimited; however, the application can connect to only one core at a 
time. For example, if you mount a recovery point of an agent protected by one core 
and then mount a recovery point of an agent protected by a different core, the LMU 
automatically disconnects from the first core to establish a connection with the 
second core. 
Complete the following procedure to mount a recover y point on a remote core using 
the LMU.
To mount a recovery point using the Local Mount Utility
