Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Prepare to Restore may not work for a Solaris client

A Bare Metal Restore (BMR) prepare-to-restore of a Solaris client computer may not work because the BMR boot server failed to resolve the IPv4 address of the client computer.

To work around this issue, perform the following:

  • Make sure the IPv4 address, client_host_name mapping entry exists first in /etc/hosts before the IPv6 mapping entry.

    On the Solaris BMR boot server, if the /etc/hosts directory contains the IPv6 address client_host_name entry first, then the BMR boot server fails to identify client IPv4 address.

  • Run Prepare to Restore again.
