If Restore Fails; Keeping Eject Button Pressed Down, Power On In Obdr Model - HP 157770-001 - DAT Drive 20/40 Tape User Manual

2. Hold down the eject button on the tape drive and keep it pressed down while power cycling the
tape drive. This activates the HP One-Button Disaster Recovery process. Release the button as
soon as the LEDs flash in OBDR sequence, which is:
HP StorageWorks DAT 320 and DAT 160 tape drives: The Ready light shows a repeated pattern
of flashing-steady on-flashing.
HP StorageWorks DAT 72 and DAT 40 tape drives: The Tape light and the Clean light on the
front panel flash alternately.

There is no need to press the Eject button. Just power on your server and press the [F8] function
key during the Power On Self Test (POST). This invokes OBDR to restore your system. For more
information and specific instructions please refer to our World Wide Web site at
www.hp.com/go/obdr.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the operating system. Normally, you can accept the
default response to all the prompts, for example just press <Enter>.
4. The LEDs will flash in OBDR mode (as described in step 2) while the tape drive restores your
operating system to a state where it can run a normal data restore.
5. Once the operating system has been set up and rebooted, the Tape LED display on the tape drive
changes to constant green and you can remove the backup cartridge, if you wish. You are now
ready to run a normal data restore. Follow the normal process for your restore application.
