Please install ebiso if UEFI booting is required - download from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Archiving:/Backup:/Rear/SLE_11/x86_64/

Even after installing rpm I'm getting same error:

Hi,
ReaR configuration needs to be adapted as well.
Please check: http://www.it3.be/2015/10/27/uefi-iso-boot-with-ebiso/

Hi,
This might be the problem: Relax-and-Recover 1.16 / Git
As far as I remember ebiso was first introduced in ReaR version 1.17
@gdha correct me if I'm wrong

parasharsingh commented at 2016-03-23 18:06:¶

That's correct. I just installed rear 1.18 on another system and set it up. That servers back is working fine.

Thanks for your help.

gozora commented at 2016-03-23 18:07:¶

anytime ...

gdha commented at 2016-03-24 08:45:¶

To be honest it was introduced 1.17.2-git-something, so in dev only. The 1st official support for ebiso is 1.18, hence the release.

jsmeix commented at 2016-03-24 10:47:¶

As far as I see the above https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/804#issuecomment-200440869 is the same as https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/801

General information:

The newest rear and ebiso packages
for various openSUSE and SLE versions
are available from the openSUSE build service
for direct RPM download as RPM packages
named "rear-1.18-..." and "ebiso-0.2.1-..." from

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Archiving:/Backup:/Rear/

and (basically the same software) also from

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Archiving/

rear-1.18 includes several example config files in

/usr/share/rear/conf/examples/

In particular regarding UEFI, have a look at

/usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE11-SLE12-SAP-HANA-UEFI-example.conf

In general see
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery

As far as I understand https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/804#issuecomment-200469568 the issue can be closed because UEFI works with rear-1.18 on SLE when it is set up for ebiso.

For the future I am already thinking about if it is possible to automate it on SLE to use ebiso if is_true $USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER (cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/801) but that would be a separated new enhancement issue: https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/805
