BMR SRT Creation

Hi All,

Need to create SRT for BMR. However i got stuck in creating the same. Did the following

1:BMR Master server setup wizard or command is bmrsetupmaster same way in command prompt

 

2:- Create a policy and select ALl Local Drives and need to enable bare metal restore(It will collect the information
like how many volumes, Harddrives are there) in policy selection.
3:-Once policy gets completed, We could see BMR clients pane in netbackup with client configuration.
4:- Need to setup boot server(It provides environment to boot the system). If client is 32 bit boot server
should be 32 bit.
5:- Need to register BMR boot server in command prompt inside Bin command is bmrsetupboot -register
6:- Need to Create SRT Shared Resource tree

After 6th step and after image attached  (SRT1.jpg) its not extracting any files to the given location and it asks for wim image. Attached Screenshot (SRT2.JPG) comes up. Doing the same according to Mander uploaded video.

    Which setup files you are talking about? WIMs? Or NB installation?

    Please confirm.

    thanks.

    Downloaded link.........https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/vrtcontroller. I chose to download part one and part two.

    Files got downloded in two parts.

    One inside compressed folder named as "NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.zip" havind 1.7 GB size and other outside compressed folder named as "NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.2of2" around 300 MB size.

    After that some files got downloaded. Getting an error message while extracting the files. Downloaded the same 2 files (Part one and Part two) many times but same is happening.

    Pls suggest.

    You should have 2 files downloaded that should be 1of2 and 2of 2

    You need to join these first before you can open them

    Put them both into a directory, open an administrative command prompt and use the following command to join them (using their correct full names):

    copy /b "file1of2"+"file2of2" "file.zip"

    This will join them and create a proper zip file for you

    But as the others have said, where ever you installed NetBackup from in the first place you should have the .wim files already - and you are using V7.0 so it would be under \Addons\x64\BMRBS\ or \Addons\x86\BMRBS\ where you will find srd.wim and srd_x64.wim

    Tried the same thing. No Success. Why can not Symantech make it one zip file?
     
    CMD Prompt reply.
     
    F:\Backup>copy /b NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.zip+NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.2of2 final.zip
     
    NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.zip
    NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.2of2
            1 file(s) copied.
     
    Error message is also attached.......
     
    Pls suggest.

    You have missed out the speech marks aroung the file names:

    F:\Backup>copy /b "NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.zip"+"NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.2of2" "final.zip"

    But i also feel that the names you are using are not right - the first file should be NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.1of2  not zip - check it and also check that you are not hiding know file extenstions when looking at the files.

    One other thing .. where are you? which country and language is being used by NetBackup?

    If you use Chines, Japanese or French then you cannot browse to the wim files - see this tech note:

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH156158

    But if you have a language pack installed they will have been installed to:

    <Install Path>Veritas\NetBackup\BareMetal\server\data

    Have you actually used Windows exploer to look under \Addons\x64\BMRBS\ because if the files are actually there then you can just type in the path even though you cannot see them using the browse feature of the wizard

    F:\>copy /b "NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.zip"+"NetBackup_7.5_Win_zip.2of2" "final.zip"
     
    The system cannot find the file specified.  :(
     
    Every time i download these files from symantec these get the same name and ext. :(
