Doing a bare metal recovery w/o BMR is tough, though there are a few
options.=20
What we do for this kind of thing is utilize a Jumpstart system. There=B9s a
server dedicated specifically to jumpstarting an OS, though you don=B9t need =
a
specific one =AD any box with NFS server, bootp and tftp will do.
Basically, with a jumpstart+JASS combination we have profiles setup for th=
e
various types of servers on our network. Web, application, database, mail,
etc. Each of these profiles provide the bare minimum # of packages needed
for the system to perform whatever it=B9s function is. You could do this with
a user, developer, oem, or full =B3clusteR=B2 install too.
If we have a disk failure and the mirrors aren=B9t working (or there isn=B9t
one) we can boot from the network, and Jumpstart/JASS will handle everythin=
g
else. It=B9s a simple matter to pull down your server-specific code/app/data
from netbackup at that point.
We=B9ve got web servers down to about a 30 minute install, and that includes
the netbackup packages so we can pull site specific data back from tape.
Also, in theory you could create a flash archive of a base-OS install with
the netbackup client software. Just enough in the flar to get you up and
running. I haven=B9t experimented with this enough to say that it works well,
but it=B9s doable. I don=B9t know how well/if it will work in OS revs prior to
9.
One of the other people responding to this already talked about mirrors.
And that=B9s an even better deal if you=B9ve got a spare disk in your system.
