I am trying to prepare RHEL5 Client for restore from BMR.It gives me that error:

Any idea?

Your SRT is using a different kernel version from the from the server you're trying to PTR. Make a new SRT with 2.6.18.402.el5

Hi Riaan ,

     Thanks for the reply. This warning can be ignored and it actually went fine for another server with a different kernel version. The Error above is about the disk layout which I do not know why though because the BMR backup went fine.

Have a look at the bmrprep log then, vxlogview -a -o 126 > bmrprep.log

Increase the Debug and Diagnostics to 6 if the standard doens't give any idea as to what is wrong.

Have you run it under "run as administrator" context?
