1) You will need a Windows Server setup as a Windows BMR boot server. This
is a Big change from NB 4.6, we complained to our sales rep about this.
Since we have a Solaris 10 master, we need another windows computer to
boot the other clients. It seems that the reason that it was changed
because of
a.) complaints about samba security. Sounds pretty cheesy to me
b.) in order to restore windows servers you needed a UNIX server
2) You can't BMR a solaris 10 client. We use solaris flash archives to
restore those servers. This will be fixed in future maintenance packs.
3) Make sure you have the latest maintenance pack installed. MP2 for NB
6.0 should be out shortly.
4) If you have a BMR client with MSDE installed into a custom instance,
BMR will not be able to get transfer its configuration to the boot server.
There is a work around, support ca help you with that.
We generally take our master server off-line and move it to a test network
to do restores during the day. Our master server does not do any backups
during the day. I had to build a separate restore procedure for the
windows boot server for our DR procedure. It's is PIA. Man, item one is
sure ryelling me up when typing this.
BMR will take more time to test than you think. It's the little things
that don't end up working during the testing that you spend days on. Once
you have things ironed out, it's easy as pie.
