Issues relating to recovery of BMR with an error similar to the below during the 'Obtaining Volume Layout Information… phase of the recovery:
Failed to load information for actual volumes.
Issue
The source disks (backed up machine) or / and target disk (system being recovered) have VSF (Veritas Storage Foundation disks.
The Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System (SFCFS) allows clustered
servers to mount and use a file system simultaneously as if all applications using
the file system were running on the same server. The Veritas Volume Manager
cluster functionality (CVM) makes logical volumes and raw device applications
accessible throughout a cluster.
Cristie do not support VSF disks. However, we can recover the OS and boot volume to standard disks.
Windows cannot be installed on conventional dynamic or VSF disks, this is a limitation of the Windows OS.
Any recoveries involving VSF dynamic disks e.g. data disks, will not be recovered.
