NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Management of iSCSI disks in Windows environment

BMR manages the iSCSI disks in Windows as follows:

  • During backup, BMR identifies the iSCSI disks, and automatically marks them as Restricted. The iSCSI disks are not allowed to be unrestricted.

  • As the disks are restricted, you cannot map any volumes with them for DDR.

  • BMR does not set up iSCSI disks during the restore process. So, the disks remain restricted, and any volumes lying fully or partially on these disks, are not restored during BMR.

  • BMR does not support iSCSI disks when NetBackup is installed on a volume that resides on an iSCSI disk.
