rmccrack opened issue at 2024-04-19 18:51:

  • ReaR version ("/usr/sbin/rear -V"):rear-2.7-1.git.5366

  • If your ReaR version is not the current version, explain why you can't upgrade:

  • OS version ("cat /etc/os-release" or "lsb_release -a" or "cat /etc/rear/os.conf"): RHEL 7.9

  • ReaR configuration files ("cat /etc/rear/site.conf" and/or "cat /etc/rear/local.conf"):

  • BACKUP=CDM

  • OUTPUT=ISO

  • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/;/usr/lib64/bind9-export/:/usr/lib64/R/lib/"

  • Hardware vendor/product (PC or PowerNV BareMetal or ARM) or VM (KVM guest or PowerVM LPAR): Vmware VM

  • System architecture (x86 compatible or PPC64/PPC64LE or what exact ARM device):

  • Firmware (BIOS or UEFI or Open Firmware) and bootloader (GRUB or ELILO or Petitboot):

  • Storage (local disk or SSD) and/or SAN (FC or iSCSI or FCoE) and/or multipath (DM or NVMe):

  • Storage layout ("lsblk -ipo NAME,KNAME,PKNAME,TRAN,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT"):

  • Description of the issue (ideally so that others can reproduce it):
    When I attempt a restore from an iso created using the rear -v mkrescue command, and select the option to restore from a replica Rubrik cluster, the agent will not register on the replica cluster when I attempt to register it using the IP address. I get an error indicating the agent is not running (refusal to connect on port 12801). When I check on the partially restored system, the Rubrik agents are not running. Attempts to start the agents using "systemctl start rubrikagents" result in an error "rubrikagents.service not found"

  • Workaround, if any:
    None I can find so far.

  • Attachments, as applicable ("rear -D mkrescue/mkbackup/recover" debug log files):

  • The backup log files did not reflect any errors.
    The system I was trying to recover (a Vmware VM) no longer exists and I have no option left to restore except to use the Rubrik replica copy of the backup.
