Fast Windows Restore Cant detect Nvidia NIC

Hi All

 

I have Netbackup 6.5.3 installed on my windows's 2003 server (X4100 M2 hardware). And I've created a Fast Windows SRT. The problem is that when I try to do a Disaster Recovery. The SRT only detects 2 of the 4 Network interfaces on the server. The 2 Intel Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controllers, but not the 2 Nvidia CK8-04DP Interfaces which happens to be one of the interfaces I used to backup the Server.

 

Has anyone else seen this problem before or know of a work around that might work??

    Few things to check:

    Does your SRT have the drivers needed for this NIC?

    For this NIC is there something like special RIS drivers?

    Does the packages console in BMR GUI list the packages/drivers for  this NIC, if yes, then see if you can edit a copy of the config and if the drivers are not already listed in teh config, then explicitly add them.

    Not Sure how to check the SRT for the driver as it's the fast windows iso. I'm assuming it doesn't have the driver seen as I cant select any of the Nvidia NIC's to use for BMR when I boot of the iso.

     

    I've checked the Sun documentation for the X4100 M2 and there is RIS drivers.

    I didn't use RIS when installing the server.

     

    Yea the packages Colsole in the BMR GUI contains a Driver for the NIC's.
