Re: [Veritas-bu] BMR Shared resource trees

Im still in the testing phase of BMR, but I seem to have 4
trees!
BMR 32-Bit
BMR 64-Bit
When I created the BMR CD's, I ended up with a BMR32BitCD and
BMR64BitCD. Not even sure if this is right!
S.
I'm playing around with getting Bare Metal Restore setup in my
environment. I've:
* Read the guide (most of it)
* setup BMR per the
guide
* Setup a windows boot server
* configured a single shared resource
tree
* setup a vanilla windows client
* performed a BMR backup of the
system
* blown my test system away and BMR restored it
I was actually
amazed at how simple the whole thing was. Now that I have my system back up, I
have some questions about BMR.
#1) On my test windows server, when it
came back up, it wanted me to put in the Windows 2008 license key. I didn't see
anything in the BMR guide about putting license keys in the SRT. Did I miss a
step or is this by design? Do I need to develop a process to have my
license keys on standby in case we had an actual disaster and I had to BMR an
entire datacenter? (Aside from the license key, everything looks
fine.)
#2) How granular do you folks get with Shared Resource Trees?
Right now I just have one 64-bit SRT, and I'm going to make a 32-bit one as
well. Is that how most of you do it? Or do I need to get more specific,
like:
SRT #1) 64-bit development systems
SRT #2) 32-bit development
systems
SRT #3) 64-bit production systems
SRT #4) 32-bit production
systems
SRT #5) 64-bit test systems
SRT #6) 32-bit test systems
You
get the idea. How does everyone else do it? Do you have 2-3 generic SRTs, or do
you get extremely specific based on your environment?
As always, thanks
again.
