Re: [Veritas-bu] BMR and Dissimilar hardware

Do you expect 200+ machines needing recovering using BMR
?
Like you, when trying the BMR to alternative hardware, from
the GUI I perform:
Bare Metal Restore Management / Expand Hosts / Bare Metal
Restore Clients.
Then I find the client, expand it, right click and new
configuration and then enter the NEW MAC Address on the CHANGE option so
BMR knows about it.
I am not aware of a method myself personally to do this,
other than what I was told that NetBackup wont restore to alternative hardware
if the Boot Server knows nothing about the new MAC address.
When I get a mo, I will look through the Admin Guide again
to be sure.

I have been doing some testing with
BMR and we are trying to implement it into our environment. Restoring to
the same box works great, however, when I attempt to mimic a DR type situation
and restore to different hardware, things are much different. Because the
MAC address is different NBU throws an error. We are running 6.5.3.1.
In testing with this single system, I was able to do a scan and pull the
new hardware's MAC information and then create a new restore profile under bare
metal restore. Once I do this, NBU allows the restore to run, however,
this solution does not seem to be the best for taking 200+ systems to DR.
Is there any way to tell Netbackup to ignore the Mac address information?
Having to add all the machines to be allowed to perform BMR is one thing
as that can be done tediously before heading to DR, but having to then scan and
make profiles of all the new hardware at DR does not seem to be the
answer.
Is there any easy way around
this (ignoring Mac address information)? Also, is there an easy way to add
all the clients to the client attributes list, other than manually?
