Run ServerMagic from rescue disk
- To run ServerMagic from rescue disks
Important: The number of computers on which you can run ServerMagic for DOS is specified in your ServerMagic license agreement. Refer to your license agreement before using the rescue disks.
1. Before you run ServerMagic from rescue disks, turn off any third-party disk caches and deactivate (unload) any TSR programs that access or modify partitions being changed.
2. Boot your server from the first ServerMagic rescue disk. The ServerMagic for DOS program (SMAGIC) starts automatically.
3. Insert the second rescue disk when prompted
The main screen will appear different when you run ServerMagic from rescue disks than it does when you run ServerMagic from Windows. When you run DOS version of ServerMagic, you will not have access to the following operations:
Volume management (Volume Set view)
Connect Remote Agent (across the wire)
Split partitions
Shred partitions
Undelete partitions
Undo last change

Tips
Do not run ServerMagic from a compressed drive.
You cannot run ServerMagic for DOS on a Windows 2000 Server that is in hibernation. To use the rescue disks, Windows 2000 must have been shut down normally.
Checking an NTFS partition with ServerMagic for DOS may take an unusually long time. Because ServerMagic performs checks before and after a move, copy, or resize operation, these operations may be slower with ServerMagic for DOS than with ServerMagic for Windows NT.
If you use an international keyboard or character set, you will need to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files on the rescue disks. For more information, see "Using International Keyboards" in the ServerMagic user guide.
