V2616A Linux System Recovery

7-2

Overview

This section describes the recovery process in the event of system instability. Users can perform the system

recovery from two sources: factory default image or user’s image.

Setting Up the Recovery Environment

A V2616A computer, a 4 GB (min.) USB drive, and a copy of the recovery suite are all required to set up the

V2616A’s system recovery environment.

The recovery procedure itself requires only a V2616A computer and a bootable USB drive.

The following steps describe the basic process of setting up the system recovery environment:

1. First, prepare the USB drive by copying over to it a bootable recovery environment; ths comes in the form

of an ISO image, and can be found on your software CD.

2. Here, you may choose to create a bare-bones stock OS recovery image; if you choose this option as your

recovery method, keep in mind that any applications or scripts you install later will be lost if a recovery is

required.

3. Here, you will reset the BIOS so the USB port is the first boot priority. If you are initiating a recovery

from a key you have already configured, this will be your starting point. The system will re-booted

into the Clonezilla recovery environment found on the USB

4. This step describes how to create an exact copy of a fully configured system on the USB drive. This is the

alternative to the stock OS recovery offered in Step 2.

5. This step describes how to perform a recovery; you may use it to run a trial recovery and test your setup.

6. This step explains how and why to return the BIOS to its original state.

Recovering from the Factory Default Image

Step 1: Prepare the USB Drive

1. From the software DVD that came with your computer start the Clonezilla imaging program (within the

current OS) by starting

tuxboot-windows-23.exe, which is found in the

\recovery\V2616A-LX_Recovery\clonezilla directory.

2. At the right, select Pre-Downloaded and set the dropdown to ISO.

3. Browse the CD to locate the Clonezilla ISO image by clicking the button with an ellipsis (…).
