BMR on Unix

Finally it looks ok now at least on Solaris. Managed to figure out how to restore a VxVM encapsulation mirrored disks to a single disk. Assuming we faced a difficult situation where both boot disk and mirrored disks are gone at the same time.
The key thing is not to automatically create all the mapping. Add the new disk to the rootdg diskgroup first. Then do the mapping from the original layout/volume to the new volume.
Restore ran successful and boot up on a single disk.

BMR

Tried the followings:
1. Restored to the same disk without VxVM.
2. Restored to different disk.
3. Restored to the same disk with VxVM encapsulation.
4. Restored to the mirrored boot disks with VxVM encapsulation.

BMR Error "Unable to make Registry modification required to boot the system"

Yes. I am hitting this error.
Google leads me to symantec website: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/301490.htm
which doesn't help much.

BMR Disimilar System Restore

This feature isn't working for me yet. I keeps encountered this "Unable to perform Registry Modification after restoration.....". And the restore stopped there. A reboot of the system kicks you into a dark screen complaining "NTLDR is missing, press ctl-alt-delete to reboot".
Each time it takes about 15 minutes to restore the whole thing...
Long way to go...

celcom website?!?!

I always have very bad experience surfing celcom website, all i can say about this site is "SLOW"!.
Compare the response speed with Maxis, Celcom's website is light year behind!!
Consider switching to Maxis.

Bad news and good news...

Good news is that I had a full week rest finally, "thanks" to the accident happened outside the mosque. That was a good lesson learnt that never have too much confidence when you are riding. This is bad news.
