Starting Up Recovery Console - NEC Express 5800 User Manual

Starting up Recovery Console

You can start up Recovery Console in two ways:
Start up Recovery Console installed on the system.
Start up Recovery Console from the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM.
Installing Recovery Console on the system
1. Start up the NEC Express5800/ft series and log on to Windows Server 2003.
2. Insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into the drive.
3. From [Start] of the taskbar, select [Run...] to run.
CD-ROM drive:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c:
4. Follow the messages that appear on the screen to continue.
Starting up the Recovery Console
1. Disable the configuration for boot monitoring function.
Select [Advanced] - [Monitoring Configuration] - [Boot Monitoring] and choose "Disabled".
See "Step 3: Disable Boot Monitoring Function" (4-11) for details.
2. When disks are duplicated by the RDR function, remove one PCI module. A PCI module
does not need to be removed for the system where the RDR function is not used. Go on to the
next step.
IMPORTANT:
If the Recovery Console is used with two PCI modules mounted in a system where
the RDR function is used, OS stop error may occur after using the Recovery
Console.
Normally, recovery with the Recovery Console is not required for limited disk, thus remove the
PCI module for Group 2. The repair by the Recovery Console is performed to the disk in the
slot 1 of the PCI module for Group 1. If it is clear that the disk in the slot 1 of the PCI module
For Group 1 has an error, mount only the PCI module for Group 2 and remove the PCI module
for Group 1. The repair with the Recovery Console will be performed to the disk in the slot 1 of
the PCI module for Group 2.
The removed PCI module is mounted after using the Recovery Console and after restarting
the OS.
3. Power on the system.
<When starting up Recovery Console installed on the system>
(a) Select Microsoft Windows Recovery Console in "Please select the operating
system to start:".
