HP D2D100 Backup System - Manual (Page 102)

Restoring from the HP D2D Backup System
This is very easy and fast. Run your backup software and select the files to be restored. Although the
software application is tape-based, the restore performance on your HP D2D Backup System is much
faster than restoring from physical tape.
Reconnecting to the HP D2D after host failure
Each configured autoloader or tape drive on the HP D2D Backup System is uniquely mapped to a host. It
cannot be seen by any other host on the network. If the host system fails, you must replace it and
reconfigure the mapping of the host to the configured backup device on the HP D2D Backup System.
1. Install the operating system on the host. If possible, give the host the same Computer Name as the
host that failed.
2. Install the backup application on the host.
3. Run the iSCSI Initiator on the restored host. (See also “ The iSCSI Initiator ” on page 47.)
4. Make a note of the Initiator Node Name from the General tab.
5. Modify the target autoloader to see the new machine name of the restored host. Select the Devices
page on the Web Management Interface, and put the target autoloader into Edit mode. Copy the
host’s Initiator Node Name (found on the General tab in step 4 ) into iSCSI Initiator Name.
