Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Media restore of Solaris x86 11.2 or later clients may prompt for maintenance mode user name and password

During media restore of clients with Solaris x86 11.2 or later versions installed, the restore system may show the following prompt:

Enter user name for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):

At the same time, BMR prompts you to enter the network adapter name:

Enter the network adapter (LINK) name from the above list 
corresponding to MAC Address:

If you enter the network adapter name, it is received as user name for system maintenance and system may further prompt you to enter the password. For example, if you have entered the network adapter name as net0, system shows the following prompt:

Enter net0 password (control-d to bypass):

This issue is observed because one of the Solaris services which is non-critical for restore has fallen into the maintenance mode.

Workaround: To resolve this issue, enter Ctrl+d and proceed with BMR restore.
