Hi
I am trying to recover Solaris 10 server. I have created the CD Based SRT with Solaris 10 update 6 version. I have burned it, loaded it in CD ROM and started Prepare to Restore & the job is queued in task list. This is a straight forward BMR Restore i.e., trying to recover same server with same H/W.
Master: Windows 2003, NBU version: 6.5.5
Media/Boot Server: Solaris 10 update 6, NBU version: 6.5.5
Client Server: Solaris 10 update 6, NBU version: 6.5.5
Booted the server using the CD Based SRT and all the required details like client name, it's IP, subnet, Master name, it's IP, etc and it ran for sometime and failed with below error.
Starting Bare Metal Restore...
The configuration settings were added successfully.
Enter the client's name : rigbmrpoc01
Enter the NetBackup master server name [rigback01] :
Enter the NetBackup master server IP Address (dotted decimal form) [10.101.80.19] :
Enter the client's default gateway (dotted decimal form) : 10.101.80.253
add net default: gateway 10.101.80.253: entry exists
Reconfiguring /dev and /devices for Bare Metal Restore
V-128-749 Operation failed due to network problem.
[Error] V-122-3 Operation failed.
ERROR: Failed to retrieve "/tmp/0A6550FA.restore".
V-128-749 Operation failed due to network problem.
[Error] V-122-3 Operation failed.
Bare Metal Restore has failed.
Now, you will be dropped to a shell prompt.
You may reboot the system when you have completed diagnosis.
So I checked the tmp file and found the below entries.
# cat 0A6550FA.conf
bmrHosts="192.168.80.19 rigback01,10.101.80.70 rigback02"
export bmrHosts
clConsole=/dev/console
export clConsole
clName=rigbmrpoc01
export clName
clNodeName=rigbmrpoc01
export clNodeName
clOs=sol
export clOs
logging=YES
export logging

export newConfig

export runEp
runMode=RESTORE
export runMode
serverName=rigback01
export serverName
isMediaServer=NO
export isMediaServer
srtNbuType=CLIENT
export srtNbuType
It seems that BMR Restore is trying to contact 192.168.80.19 IP instead of 10.101.80.19 IP of Master server. I checked the hosts entries of Master, Media but didn't found this 192.x entry in any of these. I am confused why it is picking up that IP. We used to have two interfaces previously one 192.168.80.19 IPanother one is 10.101.80.19 IP but now only 10.101.80.19 is active. I don't know which entry should be changed so that it should contact 10.101.xx.xx IP. Is this related to SRT, if so which file should be modified so that it should contact active IP.
I really appreciate if someone let me know what needs to be done. Let me know if you need further details.
Thanks & Regards,
Tarun Konduri.
