Hello,
we´ve implemented TSM in our Company and backup works well so far. It´s good to have backups, but it´s even better to have a working restore plan...
So I tried to follow the „bare metal restore plan“ from IBM
this one (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/c...ows%20Vista“)
The plan to restore from a WinPE CD sounds good so far, so I created a PE-CD with WAIK 3.1 and „Winbuilder“ to have some GUI.
I followed the article to implement TSM Client (Version used 6.4.0.6) for PE and it works well so far for command-line (That´s enough for me…) We try to restore a Windows 2003 R2 Server for testing to see if it works. The source (backup) is a file-backup from a vmware virtual machine and we try to restore to a complete new virtual machine with the same disks configured.
Connecting to TSM-Server and restore of Volumes works so far, but we have a Problem with restoring the systemstate / ASR:
We execute „restore systemstate“ and get the following response from dsmerror.log:
On the command-line I can see that some Files are restored to \\minint\x$\Windows\Temp\~adsm.sys ...
Because of the Restore of ASR fails the partitions are not restored as it should be what IBM mentions in Point 10 of the manual
"During the first part of the system state restore, ASR creates and formats critical partitions for the computer. A critical partition is the partition that is critical for the operating system to function."
I think a bare metal restore in this szenario should be possible...
I know I can do a DR-restore with VMDK-Backup, but we also would have the ability to do a bare-metal restore without installing the OS, installing the TSM-Client and then restore...
Does anyone know what´s going wrong there or has experienced the same Issue? Your help will be really appreciated
