Backup and Recovery - Oracle Exadata Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach - page 222

When your server boots from the diagnostics.iso ISO image, it will begin a recovery
process and prompt you to respond to several questions:

8.

Select r to restore your system from an NFS based backup archive and then y to
confirm your selection

a.

b. Enter the path to your NFS backup file using the format

<IP>:/<share>/<backup file>

c. Choose y to use an LVM based scheme

d. Enter your management network interface, eth0, for the Ethernet interface

e. Enter your management network IP address

f. Enter the subnet mask and default gateway

Figure 8-18 displays an example of responses to the recovery process questions.

9. After responding to the prompts, the recovery process will begin. It will take a bit of time

depending on your network bandwidth between the compute node and your NFS share
as well as the performance capabilities of your backup location. When complete, log in as
root with the recovery password, sos1exadata .

10. From the ILOM console, detach your CDROM Image and change your boot device to the

default, as displayed in Figure 8-19 .
