Hi, i have a problem for restore a physical server with vm conversion.

in my case my appliance is a master/media

i have copied the vmtools iso into the /tmp to the appliance

The gui ask me to choose the vmtools vmware

when i brows my appliance, i can choose the iso, but when i run the pre-check, i was failed.

i think, it's not the good method, but i don't find any docuements about vm conversion with appliance.

 

Have you got any idea ?

 

Thank's for your help

I had an external drive that was connected to the server.
I have excluded the disk from the BMR

The restore is ok

You need to put that iso on a windows server that acts as the VIC.

Yes,

Which versions are you running? I would suggest 7.6.0.3 before even trying to do this. Many bugs related to BMR P2V fixed in 7.6.0.3

are you doing a restore from the current or making a copy? Try with current. Also, are you 100% you have a status 0 backup for the client as the last backup?

Hi

Check in your NBU catalog if the Full "BMR" backup image for this server still there , it seems the backup is already expired?

no, in the part of collect client

you have the collect hardware, os, disk management information, and you can copy for a new configuration, and restrict an element in disk.

in my case, a external hard drive
