Recovery Media ISO multipath support

Post by ferrus »

I'm currently trialing Veeam Agent for Linux, as a backup method for our physical linux servers.
They are built using SAN boot, with multipath and LVM OS volumes.

When I try to do a bare metal restore with the recovery ISO, it fails to show any of the LVM volumes, or multipath devices on the 'Current System'. The backed up volumes are displayed correctly.
Only the four parent SCSI devices, and top-level gpt partitions are detected.

When I go to the shell, the common multipath tools I use appear to be missing.

Is there any way to restore to mutlipath devices, using the recovery media?

Hello,

You can exit to shell and run commands (if there is internet connection):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install multipath-tools
