Restoring from a system-specific recovery image

  • Use Ctrl+R options during boot up to re-initialize the RAID1 and RAID5 virtual drives and wipe any previous configurations.

Use this task to restore using an image made from the particular GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server.

Before restoring from a recovery image, make sure that the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server has access to the image from which you are restoring. This task provides instructions for accessing an image on the Recovery Flash Drive. If you access an image from a different location, such as a network connected drive or another connected USB drive, alter the steps in this task as appropriate.

  1. Make sure that media access is stopped and that the system on which you are working is not being used.
  2. Do the following:
    1. Insert the Recovery Flash Drive into the front USB port.
    2. Restart the machine, or power on if currently shut down.

      The machine boots from the Recovery Flash Drive, into a version of Windows stored on the drive.

      A MS-DOS command window opens.
