I use Netbackup 7.1.0.3 on windows as master server.
I create Red Hat Linux Boot Server 5.5 x64 in VMWARE Workstation.
Test backup linux 5.5 x64 on vmware workstation successfull.
when I test restore via bmr, I configure boot from network. it can boot correctly.
But I found issue about driver:
ERROR: The following drivers failed to load:
pvscsi
How can I find this drivers to add in SRT?
I think I create linux box from vmware and then retsore to vmware same version. Why it required driver?
Please help me to solve this issues.

To add driver into SRT, follow the procedure described in BMR Administrator's Guide.
Check 'Installing device drivers into Linux SRTs' in page 122.

>Why it required driver?
Your VM is configured with pvscsi disk devices that is not bundled with OS, so NetBackup required it.

You should open your own thread giving as much details as possible - O/S, NBU Versiones etc. etc.
That way if you issue is resolved you will be able to mark it as so to help others in the future

I got this same problem.
The great problem is that I`ve just done a restore of another machine, and I`ve got no error.
With the same image, same configurations, just changing the amount of disks.
I`m unable to perform a Discovery to do a dissimilar restore.
--Edited--
I`ve installed the pvscsi.o driver on the image and the error continue. You can get the driver from the vmware-tool iso located at the vmware host.

I manage to solve my problem.
Looks like the client have some drivers incorred informed at the momento fo the restore.
What I did:
After this, the VM booted perfect with the new scsi driver and start the restore
Is a lot of trouble, but works for me
Hope this could help you with your problem
