Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

About SAN (storage area network) support

Bare Metal Restore (BMR) can restore a system that is attached to a Storage Area Network (SAN). On Windows, AIX, Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX systems, if the host bus adapter (HBA) drivers are available, BMR automatically restores the SAN-attached volumes.

Note:

During BMR recovery, user can either avail BMR DDR (dissimilar disk restore) support where user may want to restore operating system on the same SAN LUNs to make the machine SAN bootable again or the user can move operating system volumes on local disk so that machine is bootable from the local disk. Same logic is applicable while restoring machine having local disk-based systems. Using DDR, user can map operating system volumes to SAN LUN and can make restored machine SAN bootable.
