oracle Solaris recover in Ldom
Hi all ;
we have SPARC T4-2 servers ,configured OVM for sparc on it . one control domain and 3 LDOMs and these LDOMS configured as media servers to backup directly to NAS Storage.
we have the below environment :
* Master server
- Hostname: Netbackup-bck , Solaris 10
- netbackup 7.6.1.1
* Media servers :
1- control domain
- hostname :control-domain-bck , solaris 11
1- LDOM 1 " database server ":
- hostname :dbserver-bck, solaris 11
2- LDOM 2 "application server ] :
- hostname : appserver-bck , solaris 10
3- LDOM 2 " file server ":
- hostname : fileserver-bck , solaris 10
refering to this article :https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH162994.html
All NetBackup components supported with Solaris 11 SPARC physical servers are supported in a Solaris 11 LDoms Control Domain and I/O Domain with the exception of Bare Metal Restore (server or client). Guest domain support is limited to standard client, database agents, master server and disk media server
BMR is not supported on LDOMs , so i backup the control domain and each ldom like normal os backup means backup " / " .
the question here , if there is a failure in LDOM and need to recover the LDOM OS backup . how to restore it ??
does i need to install solaris again and netbackup agent and restore the backup to overwrite the existing files or what ??
please provide Step by Step how-to if possible to test the restore.
thanks

Your statement about BMR and Solaris LDOMS is not totally correct.
BMR supports guest OS instances on Solaris 10 LDOMS with UFS attached.
Although not stated to be supported, at least one user on this forum has gotten BMR to work on Solaris 11 LDOMS, again with UFS attached.
BMR works at the LDOM guest domain level.
