Do you expect 200+ machines needing recovering using BMR ?
Like you, when trying the BMR to alternative hardware, from the GUI I
perform:
Bare Metal Restore Management / Expand Hosts / Bare Metal Restore
Clients.
Then I find the client, expand it, right click and new configuration and
then enter the NEW MAC Address on the CHANGE option so BMR knows about
it.
I am not aware of a method myself personally to do this, other than what
I was told that NetBackup wont restore to alternative hardware if the
Boot Server knows nothing about the new MAC address.
When I get a mo, I will look through the Admin Guide again to be sure.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] BMR and Dissimilar hardware
I have been doing some testing with BMR and we are trying to implement
it into our environment. Restoring to the same box works great,
however, when I attempt to mimic a DR type situation and restore to
different hardware, things are much different. Because the MAC address
is different NBU throws an error. We are running 6.5.3.1. In testing
with this single system, I was able to do a scan and pull the new
hardware's MAC information and then create a new restore profile under
bare metal restore. Once I do this, NBU allows the restore to run,
however, this solution does not seem to be the best for taking 200+
systems to DR. Is there any way to tell Netbackup to ignore the Mac
address information? Having to add all the machines to be allowed to
perform BMR is one thing as that can be done tediously before heading to
DR, but having to then scan and make profiles of all the new hardware at
DR does not seem to be the answer.
Is there any easy way around this (ignoring Mac address information)?
Also, is there an easy way to add all the clients to the client
attributes list, other than manually?
