10. Start the Data Protector GUI and open a connection to the Cell Manager. Import
the system with the auxiliary disk into the cell.
1 1. Select the version from which you want to restore. First list all the required media
for the restore and make sure they are available. Restore all the required
mountpoints including the (future) root-volume to the system, using the option
Restore As new_mountpoint. The root-volume from the backup is restored to
the root-volume on the repaired disk. Nothing is restored to the currently-running
auxiliary operating system on the auxiliary disk.
12. Shut down the system that was just restored.
13. Disconnect the auxiliary disk from the system.
14. Reboot the system from the new (or repaired) disk.
NOTE:
Instead of using an auxiliary disk, the new disk can also be temporarily connected to a
client that has to have a Disk Agent installed. After being restored, it can be connected
to the faulty system and booted.
