Avamar and raw devices mapping

Hello

We want to snapshot our virtual machines (vsphere 4) but don't want to snapshot the raw devices disk (because they are backuped by the agent). (Avamar 5.3)

We  have tried today, only the local disks have been snapshoted but when we  want to restore, avamar requests disk space to restore raw device disk,  even if we want to restore only local drives. And we can't continue the  restore process.

Is there any way to restore only the local drives, excluding the raw device ?

Thanks

Christophe

    Hello Christophe,

    Maybe additional configuration is required for this action ... so you could try to change parameter "allow_duplicate_client_names" in /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml   file .
    instead of "false" add "true"


    1. Load the admin OpenSSH
        # su - admin
        # ssh-agent bash
        # ssh-add ~admin/.ssh/admin_key
    type a passphrase "P3t3rPan"

    2. Stop the MCS:
        # dpnctl stop mcs

    3. open /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml    with "vi"

    4. Set the "true" on "allow_duplicate_client_names"

    5. Start MCS:
          #dpnctl start mcs

    hope this helps .
