Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

BMR restore task may remain in Finalizing state after the client is restored successfully

The Bare Metal Restore (BMR) restore task may display the state of the task as "Finalizing" under the Bare Metal Restore Management > BMR Tasks tab even after the restore task for the client completes successfully. An external procedure that you have configured for execution during the first boot or clean up may not have been executed.

Workaround: If the client is restored successfully, perform the following steps:

  1. Open a command prompt or shell on the restored client.
  2. Navigate to the appropriate directory in command prompt or shell based on the operating system of the restored client.

    • If the restored client runs Linux, then navigate to the following path:

      <Installation Directory>/netbackup/bin

    • If restored client runs Windows, then navigate to the following path:

      <Installation Directory>\netbackup\bin

  3. Run the following command by providing the correct client host name for <clientName>:

    bmrc -op complete -resource restoretask -client <clientName> -status 0

  4. If an external procedure is configured to be executed during the first boot or cleanup, then, execute the external procedure on the restored client manually.
