Just wanted to point out an alternate solution to an issue I saw in a discussion here (https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/i-cannot-create-srt-bmr-boot-server).
I am using NBU 7.0.1 with RHEL5 x64 and faced the same issue. The discinfo looked the same as in the previous thread:
1170972069.396645
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5
x86_64
1
Server/base
Server/RPMS
Server/pixmaps
I dumped the entire dvd contents on a local folder and modified the .discinfo file to look like this (see line 4):
1170972069.396645
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5
x86_64
1,2,3,4,5
Server/base
Server/RPMS
Server/pixmaps
According to the technote below, the discinfo is already supposed to look like above.
Referring to http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH76147 I modified the /createsrt.conf at /usr/openv/var/global :
# Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 - disc 1 of 5
cd1 MEDIA_RHEL50_X86_64_DISC1 \
/Server \
/.discinfo {* "Enterprise Linux Server 5" x86_64 1,2,3,4,5}
I added 2,3,4,5 after 1 in the entry above. The SRT was then created without any issues. All packages were picked up from the first disc. When the script asks for the second, third, fourth and fifth disc, just press enter with the same location of the disc. As all packages have already been picked up from the first disc, the SRT creation will be successful.
Thanks,
Shahbaz
