BMR support for blade servers?
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 5 comments
Hi,
Any one of you has tried to restore the blade server using BMR. In earlier version of NetBackup 6.0 I was unable to restore the blade server using BMR.
Any experience or success story? I am unable to find the support in BMR document.
Look forward for reply.
Majrif.

BMR supports, but it may work or not
No matter what type of sever, BMR supports when the target client meets the compatibility requirements.
But actually it depends on HW configuration(SAN/iSCSI boot host is more harder than DAS host), NIC/storage chips and drivers.
I heard from my colleague that he failed BMR recovery boot with some HP10Gb NIC on Windows 2003 because RIS driver for this chip are not released so far.

I have successfully restored
I have successfully restored a Dell PE 1855 blade using BMR. There is a known issue with their NIC cards, so you have to manipulate the boot image (which is kind of a pain). But to answer your question -- yes, I have restored to a blade with BMR
