TCP tuning for system recovery
Hello everyone,
I'm involved in a DRP exercise, and I'm trying to improve the performance of the restores from tape. I've got side-by-side Windows and Solaris 9/10 servers and the Solaris boxes are seeing about half the bandwidth of the Windows boxes.
The systems are Gbe everywhere, including the backup server. The Solaris boxes are booted from CD/DVD and we then run the recovery software off an NFS share. My restores are maxing out at about 16Mbps on Gbe links. My enemy Windows servers are running at about 25-30Mbps, also rather slow, but better.
I'm not looking for miraculous solutions, but if I can bring the data rate up a bit with some simple changes, that would be great. I was wondering whether any TCP parameters might help.
Any pointers/tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Robert,
Good point, I should be looking at disk performance. The recovery software takes over the console so I have no way to get back to the CLI. I'll have to investigate that.
We did have some luck with one server, a V440. Hardcoding the switch port and the server port to 1000fdx, and setting a few TCP parameters did get this one server up to ~115Mbps, a dramatic improvement over previous results.
tcp_max_buf
tcp_cwnd_buf
tcp_xmit_hiwat
tcp_recv_hiwat
In our data centre, we are copper Gbe everywhere, on Cisco gear, we leave all ports to autoconfig, don't do any TCP tuning, and I get about 700Mbps between servers. But our DRP partner insists that we should hardcode everything here at our DRP site. It's all Gbe and Cisco here too. Very strange, but auto causes a lot of grief around here.
Thanks again,
Mark

What software is needed for system recovery? (cont'd)
What software is needed for system recovery of a Toshiba Satellite Pale8u-02p01D (also known as L355D-S7901) running Vista?
If I can just get the name/number for the recover software I will get it from eBay.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Satellite L355D-S7901
If you want to look for that on eBay, look for the recovery discs for the model above. I doubt you'll find them there.
You can order them from Toshiba, of course.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
And you might get them cheaper from a third-party vendor.

HELP HELP!!! Needed help for system recovery
I have a satellite A505-S6035
I made the restoration disk and made a system restoration using that DVD's one year back to make a new partition and everything went fine.but today my system crashed and I tried to restore from HDD ,by pressing zero on the start up and it wont.I work tried the DVD and it boots...but it staying long time saying copying files......I think some problem on the DVD as I felt some noise from the CD drive that cannot read properly.I removed this HDD and connedted externaly with another PC and realized that c:\\ already formated and some files has been copied there. D:\\ have no problem and all my datas are there.i found another partiton too for the recovery @ 2GB but i coudn recover from
what i should do in this situation ..pls helpJust a few thoughts: Did you cut all power to your computer [include battery and ac] prior to trying to restore, and try toggling zero key when turning on to restore. If this doesn't get computer and/or HDD restore to operate, is other machine you used to read HDD compatable; could you restore HDD on other machine if needed, then try in this one?

Unable to create a 'computer image' for system recovery purposes using an external drive!
Just finished another very frustrating long session with HP Tech Support without a resolution to a simple problem.
This laptop is only 4 months old, but the hard drive is failing, according to constant notifications, and repeated BIOS hard drive diagnostic tests.
I wanted to be sure that all back-up/system restore precautions were taken. Not much to 'back-up' because the laptop is new. The standard 'back-up' was easily done on a 4 GB flash drive.
I followed instructions for 'create a system image' in order to make a 'copy of the drives required to restore your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working' (instructions right on the page).
I wanted to create this 'system image' on an external flash drive. First attempt at storing a system image failed because: 'the drive is not formatted with NTSF. The G flash drive was easily formatted to NTSF. Repeated attempts at copying now failed because: 'the drive is not a valid back-up location' (!?).
I see absolutely no clear reason why a 'computer image' cannot be created on a flash drive that has been correctly formatted.
HP Tech Support claims that the reason for this is a 'Windows incompatibility with the program' (used to create a 'system image?).
No solution was given. According to HP Tech Support, this is now a 'Windows software problem', which doesn't make any sense to me.
Standard CD-R data disks (the only ones I have on hand now) are not big enough: 700 MB capacity, but a DVD-R data disk, which has 4.7 GB capacity, may not be enough (especially in the future) for the creation of a 'system image'.
Since HP Tech Support is incapable of solving a straightforward problem like this, I am asking for some more experience tech geek to bring me up to speed on this whole issue of 'system image' creation, for the purpose of computer restoration, as I am hesitant to go ahead and remove the hard drive, if I haven't properly done everything to 'back-up' as much as I can.Again: HP Tech Support cannot answer this question for me.
I posted the above problem onto the Windows Recovery forum also.
There are super-experienced people that view these questions. (I meant the term 'geek' in an appreciative way: without users solving problems, everything would grind to a halt!).
Please, if there is anyone who can comment on this, whether the whole issue of 'system image' is redundant, whether it is necessary at all, I would be grateful for a stab at this.
I have the sense that the answer is staring me right in the face, yet even HP Tech Support has no idea what it is. -
HP system recovery selection problem
I installed windows 8 on my HP Envy Spectre XT and now i want to roll back to windows 7 that came with my device. I dont have any recovery discs and HP does not provide one. I have the recovery partition still there and I can boot into it, but I cannot select the option for System recovery and Minimised Recovery. All i can select is the windows based recovery.
Others seems to be disabled. Please provide me with a solution to enable the System Recovery option.When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
When you first setup your computer, you were given many opportunities to create your own personal set of HP Recovery Discs as recommended by HP. If you failed to create these discs and installed a new operating system on your computer, you may not be able to use the recovery partition . Since you cannot select the "System" or "Minimised" recovery options, I would guess that some needed information is no longer available for the recovery partition to work correctly. The only way to recover your computer while in this state, would be to use a set of HP Recovery Discs.
Please send KUDOS

Hp pavillion dv6700 system recovery inaccessible. how do i recover with disk set?
I am using vista, and need to set back to original state. I have tried recovery manager, advanced options, system recovery. System restarts and continues into windows with no changes. I have tried f11 to access system recovery, does nothing other than restart again.
There is a partition for system recovery. When I try to open the partition I am denied access.
Please help!Two possibilities
A. Mark the recovery partition as "active" in disk management, then restart, with any luck it will boot into the recovery partition and start recovery.
Step 1
Back up ALL of your files. Everything you can think of: documents, pictures, spreadsheets, emails you've downloaded that you want to save, web browser bookmarks, iTunes library etc. You can save a lot of time by investing in an external drive and copying everything to it. Otherwise you can use DVD's it will just take a little longer. If you do not do this all your data will be lost during the recovery process.
Step 2
Open the start menu, right click on Computer, select manage. When the computer management window opens, select Disk Management. In the right pane you will see at least two partitions one will be named Recovery.
Step 3
Right click on the Recovery Partition and click mark as active. A warning will displayed, confirm you wish to set it as Active.
Step 4
Shut down your laptop completely, then restart the laptop. When the system restore starts select the option for the original factory restore and follow the prompts.
B. You can order HP recovery media from the link below, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

System Recovery Kit for dv7-3165dx fails to restore factory image to replacement hd
I'm posting this wall of text here in case someone else has any suggestions before I contact HP Support to see what options they have.
My attempt to recover the factory image to a replacement hard drive in an HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx notebook is failing. An error occurs when SM.exe is trying to merge the WIM files. The SSRD.Log shows an error:
SM, 13, Set reference file fail
after that, SM.exe displays this message when run from a command line:
SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
The following are the symptoms that the Recovery Manager displays on the screen.
The Recovery Manager reads the two DVDs and after a few seconds, it pops up an error message:
Reducer
C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found.
The message has on "OK" button that when clicked on, closes the message window.
After that, nothing happens. No disk or DVD activity for over an hour. The mouse moves, but no key presses have any effect, including CTRL-ALT-DEL. You can use the mouse to move the Recovery Manager window around, and there is nothing hidden behind it. Clicking on the Recovery Manager Back, Next, or Cancel buttons produce no response at all.
The only option at this point is to hold down the power switch until it powers down.
When the power is turned back on, the hard drive boots and Recovery Manager displays a message that incorrectly claims "Recovery is complete" and has a "Click Finish to restart" button. After clicking on "Finish", it reboots but since the System Recovery did not actually complete, all it does is display:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart
Before attempting the recovery, the notebook passed all diagnostic tests.
The 2x2GB memory cards, which still have HP stickers on them, were tested with Memtest86+ V5.01 and completed over six passes in over seven hours with zero errors.
The replacement 500GB HGST Travelstar Z5K500 drive was tested with gsmartcontrol. The SMART status showed no errors in the past with over 400 hours of power-on time. Both of the SMART short self-test and extended self-test tests were run, which it passed without any errors.
The HP System Diagnostics from the Startup Menu were run on the memory and hard drive and they passed those tests without any errors.
While waiting for the HP "System Recovery Kit for Consumer Notebook (3 Disks)" Software Part Number 599357-001 to arrive, both Fedora 21 64bit and Windows Vista 64bit were successfully installed on the harddrive.
Both System Recovery DVDs were read on different machines without any errors. This System Recovery Kit supports the notebook's System Id which is 3638, so they appear to be the correct discs.
Now a list of workaround attempts that were suggested.
After the Recovery Manager failed a few times with the same error message, some googling came up with other users mentioning the "TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message. I tried these suggestions that I read about.
Run KillDisk to fill the HD with zeros.
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
Run the CyberLink Recovery Discs Utility (sp44645.exe).
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
Installed Windows VISTA 64bit again and upgraded the BIOS from F10 to F13.
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
Try only using a single 2GB memory card to see if it was a 64bit problem.
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
The BIOS does not have an option to change from AHCI mode to IDE mode.
I don't have a Windows 7 OEM install disc and am trying to avoid spending $100 to buy one.
That is when I decided that it is not a PC hardware problem, but a problem with the HP System Recovery Kit. Here are the details of what I think the Kit is doing.
After running Recovery Manager and getting the error message, instead of just re-booting and letting the "Recovery is complete" message appear, I re-booted with a Linux USB drive and inspected what was on the hard drive.
fdisk -l shows this:
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors

fsarchiver probe shows this:

[sda2 ] [vfat ] [SDV ] [ 400.00 MB] [ 8] [ 2]
Running gparted shows about 200 MB of unallocated space before the sda1 NTFS partition. The rest of the disk is unallocated after the bootable sda2.
The sda1 NTFS partition has a \SSRD.Log file and an empty \RM\Image directory.
The sda2 FAT32 partition has the Recovery Manager application files in it:
/mnt/sda2:
total 400
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Apr 9 23:36 SDV.FLG
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 9 23:36 SYSTEM.SAV
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 BOOT
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 EFI
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 SOURCES
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 27 2009 TOOL
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 383562 Jul 13 2009 bootmgr
The SOURCES directory has boot.wim, and the TOOL directory has all the programs, like Reducer.exe and SM.exe, in it.
After shutting down the Linux system and rebooting, the Recovery Manager then boots from sda2 and displays the "Recovery is complete" message and "Click Finish to restart" button. During this process, it removes the sda2 partition and marks the sda1 NTFS partition as the active bootable partition. When the PC restarts, all that is left is the sda1 NTFS partition with the empty C:\RM\Image directory and the SSRD.Log file, so there is no BOOTMGR to boot with.
The SSRD.Log file logs the tasks that the Recovery Manager performs.
The Recovery Manager runs some initialization tasks and then reads the two System Recovery DVDs. It then calls MergeWimFile which runs SM.exe and starts to merge BASE.WIM with the other BASE*.WIM files. SM.exe merges 20 WIM files with log entries like these:
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE22.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE23.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE3.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE4.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE5.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE6.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE7.WIM
Then, with only two WIM files left, BASE8.WIM and BASE9.WIM, the log shows:
SM, 13, Set reference file fail
This must be when Recovery Manager pops up the "Reducer C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message.
That narrowed down the problem.
I copied all of the WIM files and the TOOLS directory to a Windows 8.1 system. The two DVDs did not have any errors while being read. Running SM.exe from an admin Command Prompt with the same parameters that were logged in the SSRD.Log produced the same error message. There was an additional error message that appeared in the Command Prompt window:
SM, 13, Set reference file fail
SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
and the TempBASE.WIM was not created.
SM.exe /? did not provide a help message. I could not find any documentation on the SM.exe command.
If I removed three of the WIM files, (BASE7.WIM BASE8.WIM BASE9.WIM) then SM.exe could create the TempBASE.WIM file, but it would fail while merging index 2 of 3 with this message:
SM, 11%, Merge index 2 of 3 Processing
SM, Failed, Export image failed
The TempBASE.WIM is 3,421,518 KB in size after that.
This is where I came to a dead end and cannot think of anything else that I can do. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it appears to me that there was some kind of error building this System Recovery Kit and it is not able to perform a factory install on this notebook.
ps
If I can figure out how to add an attachment, I will add the SSRD.Log file. If not, then ask and I will post it as a followup.Downloaded Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit which contains the latest imagex program.

My system freezes during start-up "for first time" after running System Recovery.
HP G62-227CL
Win 7 (64 bit)
No error message, per se; just a frozen screen during reboot.
Months ago, my computer suddenly started glitching on me. I shut down and tried a reboot. The system froze on the boot screen with the flying colors. Tried system recovery several times but must have done something wrong because it would not run. Resolved to buy a new hard drive and reinstall from recovery discs. Delayed for no good reason until today, months later.
Before buying new hard drive, decided to run System Recovery again. It worked! I tried the option that deleted everything and restored to original factory settings and software. Everything appeared to work like a charm: hard drive reformatted, software reinstalled, system prompted me for a reboot. I did. Windows started to start, "Setup preparting your computer for the first use" appears . . . and freezes. For hours. Hard drive indicator light is off.
BTW, made sure that the Wi-Fi button was on as I read about Recovery issues if it was off when the program ran.
Rebooted. Hit F11. Ran maintenance and checked hard drive for errors. There are errors. Unfortunately, the default setting of CHKDSK does not repair them. Opted for a command prompt. Rand CHKDSK again with "/f /r" option seen in other posts. I'm too ignorant here to get the program to run properly, I guess. I ran CHKDSK on both drive X and C. No errors found . . . sort of. I know they exist because the system will not boot up. (Yes, I tried again.) Back at command prompt, I tried to run CHKDSK on drive C again. This time I received a message that I would first have to unmount (dismount?) the drive. As I do not know what this means, I opted for "no" and have decided to post this message for assistance.
So. Suggestions on what I do next? More specifically: how do I get CHKDSK to repair the errors it found? I believe the message was: "Errors in $130 of sector . . ." It displays this message twice at 62% completion. Freezes for a long time. Gets going again only to slow to a crawl again around 70% but for not as long. Then returns back to the start screen of System Recovery.
Ran System Recovery again for kicks. Again, appeared to work like a charm. Unfortunately, the laptop is once again sitting frozen on the "Preparing . . . for first use" screen again. It is getting hotter the longer it sits. The fan is now audibly running at higher rpms . . . if any of that helps. I'm shutting it down and waiting for your advice.
Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello Miles1966. I understand you're experiencing some issues with your notebook freezing.
This does sound like a hard drive problem. The freezes, missing HDD indicator light, and inability to perform a recovery are all symptoms of a failing hard drive. You had been using CHKDISK previously but have you tried running the diagnostic which is built into the BIOS? Try following these steps and post the result of the diagnostic. I suggest running the memory test as well just in case.
Let me know the result of these diagnostics. I hope you have a great day!

Getting error code 0x400110020000100b while doing system recovery for windows vista 32 bit.
I attempted to do a system recovery on my Laptop using the included recovery discs and got this error 0x400110020000100B. THe disc looked pretty beat so last week I ordered a new set. Now when I got to put disc 2 in (at 80% complete) I get the same error. I called customer support and he took me through the F9 process to no avail and I've also tried the F11 approach which got me no where. I'm frustrated because I really don;t have the money for a new laptop.
Laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6700.
Any help would be appreciated more than you know.
System is Windows Vista 32 bit

Problem with system recovery for a new hard drive in my Pavilion p6210y Windows 7 Premium 64bit
I decided to swap out my hard drive when my computer would fail to start up or crash right after starting. Diagnostic tool at startup said the hard drive was faulty and other times I would get BIOHD-1 and BIOHD-2 errors. I replaced the old WD Caviar Blue 640GB with a new Caviar Green 1TB. I ordered and received from HP a system recovery disc set which included five discs labeled:
Use This First! System Recovery,
System Recovery 1:1,
SYstem Recovery 1:3,
System Recovery 2:3, and
System Recovery 3:3.
After putting in the new hard drive I used the "Use This First!" disc and everything seemed to be going fine. The scene showed "Loading Windows" or something like that. After about 10 minutes the CD drive opened and the Monitor showed three images: a big green check mark which I assume meant everything was good up to that point; a graphic showing the removal of the first disc; and a graphic showing three discs to be put in. Wondering whether to put in the System Recovery 1:1 disc or the System Recovery 1:3 disc, I noticed that the drive bay closed with the "Use This First" disc still in. I managed to get the Drive to open after pressing the open button quite a few times. I closed it with the 1:3 disc and nothing happened (no light showing activity in the DVD drive). After a minute or so I managed to get the drive open again after quite a few times pressing the open button. I put in the 1:1 disc and still nothing. At this point I could only open the drive bay with a paper clip in the release hole. With the computer unresponsive and the monitor still showing the same as when the first disc came out, I decided to turn it off with the "Use this First!" disc in the drive hoping to start from the beginning again. Now the directions that came with the HP System Recovery discs state:
CAUTION: Do not turn off the computer, or use the keyboard or mouse during this time. Doing so will interrupt or damage the software installation.
Now when I turn the power on I get either:
the HP blue screen with the green hand, (F11=system recovery), (F9=Diagnostics), (F10=Setup) and (ESC=Boot Menu). pressing esc, F9, F10 or F11 does nothing.
Or the HP blue screen appears and then almost immediately goes to the black screen with " Reboot and select proper boot device or insert Boot media in select Boot device and press a key". I've gotten this scene while trying almost every System Recovery disc in the drive. Hitting a key does nothing other than repeating the same message.
Once I got a "The file is corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computer checksum" error. That appeared only once in about 30 try's.
The open DVD drive button works sometimes and not other times. I can't seem to figure out a pattern for when it will work.
I don't know whether I might have accidentally moved the mouse or hit the keyboard during the first attempt. Can I do something to the new hard drive to get it back to a state where it can start from the beginning again? Might it be a problem other than the old hard drive. Anyone have any suggestions?Satellite L505D-S5983
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
Yes, of course! See the link to your model's spec above.
My apologies. The previous link went to a spec for the Satellite A505-S6960 (which came with Windows Vista installed). I had too many spec pages open at the same time and got them mixed.
So, are you telling me that I won't get this one to work?(the BPKT)
No. But you may face the problems that I outlined in this message.

On Jun 19 my pc wouldn't load Windows & HP decided to do a system recovery on my pc on Jun 20.
Prior to the system recovery being performed all of my files & programs were burned onto discs.
A few days after the recovery was performed I re-installed Firefox. It was the same day that the newest version of Firefox was released. I was unable to reload the version I was previously using (I believe that it was version 4).
After re-installing Firefox I discovered that I lost all of my Firefox bookmarks.
I thought that the bookmarks would be on the back-up discs but I can't find them on the system recovery files that I loaded onto my pc.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a HP G60 series laptop.Thanks for the info.
I did find the folder as described above. Under Profiles the sub-directory I found was: t6jyvmtf.default
There are 2 files in that sub-directory:
blocklist - which is an XML document &
bookmarks - which is Firefox document
When I selected bookmarks the document that opened does not contain (to my knowledge) the bookmarks.
The heading for the page is '''''Bookmarks''''' & right underneath that heading is '''Get Bookmark Add-ons'''
Underneath that is a heading '''Bookmarks Toolbar Folder''' with the following under it:
Add bookmarks to this folder to see them displayed on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Getting Started & Latest Headlines
That is followed by the heading '''Mozilla Firefox''' which has the following underneath it:
Help and Tutorials, Customize Firefox, Get Involved & About Us
I checked each of the items that could be selected but none of them had my bookmarks.
I also checked the blocklist XML document - it opened Windows Internet Explorer with what appears to be programming language (although I could be wrong). At the top of the document it says - ?xml version="1.0" ?
followed by
- <blocklist xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/addons-blocklist">
Should I be selecting one of the above to find the bookmarks & I'm just not seeing it? -

System Recovery disk for Windows 8.1
Hi, I have upgraded my pc from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Every thing went ok. Now I have upgraded it to Windows 8.1. So far every thing went fine. However, can some one tell me how I can create a System Recovery Disk at this stage? I have managed to create
a Recovery Drive USB stick.Hi,
According to your description, I suggest you use system image backup to create a System Image.
You may refer to the following steps:
1.Press Win+Q, search File history. Then click it in the display list.
2.In the File History control panel that appears, look in the lower left corner. The option you're looking for is System Image Backup. Click that, and the familiar Create a System Image wizard appears.
Hope this helps.

The previous 'DC Pro' is not showing as not being an installed program.
When trying to perform the update again an error shows in the Creative Cloud window 'the download appears corrupt please try again in a few minutes(26).
Trying again both in a few minutes and after a restart the same error message shows again.
What next?check the dl'd file size vs expected file size to see if you're getting a completed download.
also, you can try a different browser and/or different wired connection and/or a download manager. -
