 Hello,

The Dissimilar Restore (DSR) for UNIX/LINUX is not supported.
The same also mentioned in article provided by RiaanBadenhorst.


The Physical To Virtual (P2V) also DSR. During restore you may encounter various issue.

Thanks & Regards

@Ram_drk Any reason why the client is still on NBU 6.5?

Are you aware that this version ran out of support in 2012?

Hello,

 

follow the link given by @RiaanBadenhorst youll find: Lastly, BMR is not intended to be used as a provisioning/cloning tool.  The creation of exact system duplicates can be a violation of software licensing agreements in place for any given server.

I think best ist to use Oracle P2V tool. (flar) or bether start with Solaris 11.3

Hi Marianne,

Yes I am aware the version is not supported with current version, We have some old application dependency with the server and our recommendatation is to upgrade or migrate the H/W & S/W to supported version. Also I am for options from Backup prespective to restore P2V.

Ram_drk, to what type of VM you're going to restore your M4000 backup? If you're talking about LDOMs then it's better to use "Logical Domains Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) Migration" procedure. https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH162994  says:

All NetBackup components supported with Solaris 10 SPARC physical servers are supported in a Solaris 10 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.

It isn't clear if guest domain is supported by BMR client.
