1. Do one of the following:
a. For direct access, attach the SUV cable (supplied with the HP StoreEasy 5000 Storage)
to the port on the front of the server blade you want to recover. Connect a monitor and
USB mouse to the SUV cable. Using the remaining USB connector on the SUV cable,
connect either a USB DVD drive (and insert the System Recovery DVD) or a bootable USB
flash device (prepared with a System Recovery image).
b. For remote management access, connect to the server using iLO from a client PC. Insert
the System Recovery DVD in the client PC or attach a bootable USB flash device that has
been prepared with a System Recovery image.
2. Reboot the server blade to either the USB flash device or USB DVD drive.
The system BIOS attempts to boot to the USB device first by default. Watch the monitor output
during the boot as you may need to press a key to boot to the USB media.
NOTE: If directly connected, you may have to change the BIOS settings to ensure proper
boot sequence. If connected remotely, you may have to change some iLO settings to ensure
proper boot sequence.
3. Select Windows Recovery Environment.
The recovery environment is loaded.
4. Once the recovery environment is loaded, the System Recovery Options wizard opens. On
the first window, select the keyboard input method, which is based on your location (for
example, select US for United States) and click Next.
5. Select one of the following options and click Next:
• Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an operating
system to repair. If you select this option, then select the active partition from which to
perform a scan and complete the recovery. Continue with step 8.
• Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier. Select this option
to completely delete the operating system drives from the RAID controller, reconfigure the
storage, and recover using a backup image. Continue with step 6.
6. The System Recovery Options wizard scans the computer for a system image. If it is unable
to locate a system image, the following message is displayed:
Figure 142 System image not found
Either attach an external drive or insert a DVD that contains the backup files and click Retry.
If you want to recover from the network, click Cancel.
7. Select one of the following options and click Next:
• Use the latest available image. Select this option to use the backup image that was recently
created. If you are restoring from the network, this option is grayed out.
• Select a system image. Select this option to choose a different image to restore from or
will allow you to restore from the network.
