Does BMR support restore through fiber channel NIC(FC bcm5700)?

[NeilZhang]

I can backup the client, but when I want to restore it from the net boot, I found the client had get the tftp image, but after that, the restore process would hang.

The client is a IBM P550 with two local normal NICs and one fiber channel NIC, but in the BMR client configuration, I just found two NICs, and which surprised me was they had the same MAC addresses.

The information about FC 5700 NIC can be found here:

I can not found any information about the supported FC NIC hardware list...

Anyone has the similar problem?  or any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Can you provide some more information:

1. NBU Version.

2. OS version.

3. Did you boot off the normal NIC or the FC NIC?

4. check the output of command similar to snoop/tcpdump on your master & boot to see if the client is sending some requests.

5. After booting of the downloaded image, the client would mount the SRT over NFS, any indications that this worked?
