[Veritas-bu] BMR Shared resource trees
2011-10-13 09:43:45
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.
