Restoring using LightsOut Restore

Starting the LightsOut Restore Wizard

4. Run the LightsOut Restore wizard by going to the Windows Start menu and
selecting Programs > Symantec > Norton Ghost 15.0. This installs the Symantec
recovery environment to the local file system, and creates an entry in the Windows
boot menu that can be used to boot to this environment.
5. When either file or system recovery is needed, use the RILO or DRAC device to
connect to the remote server and either power on or reboot the system.
6. During the remote server boot process, select the Symantec recovery
environment from the boot menu. The remote server will then proceed to boot to
the Symantec recovery environment (at which point, connection through RILO
or DRAC will be lost). As the Symantec recovery environment starts, a pcAnywhere
thin host will automatically start (unless this was disabled through the LightsOut
Restore wizard).
7. Use pcAnywhere to connect to the remote server pcAnywhere thin host.
8. Through pcAnywhere, use the recovery environment to restore individual files,
or entire partitions.
If you have not already licensed Norton Ghost, the first time you run the LightsOut
Restore wizard, you will be prompted to install a license file or a product license
key.
