I just recently did this, migrating a physical server to a VM (MS Virtual Server).
I took a BMR backup of the server and copied the client config to a new one. Here's what goes: 1. Change the MAC addy to the MAC of the virtual server 2. Clean up the unneeded drivers. We purged all the SCSI since the VM was simply an IDE. 3. Make sure the Network adapter used in the VM will work with BMR. You'll find out quickly when the restore time comes. 4. Have the physical server offline, otherwise, it won't work. I had to create a custom bootable CD from my SRT to get it to work. Still not sure why. Good luck!

I could build a machine, load the client, and restore - but I think BMR is a much better way to do this. We were not licensed for it previously, but now that we are - why not? Anyhow... From what I've seen on this list. 1 - Make sure you backup with TIR and "move detection" 2 - Boot to the BMR CD and restore Before I go blow through the manual (there goes another weekend) anyone wana throw me a bone? Thanks :) -Jonathan _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
