Re: Mondoarchive failed on CentOS 7.2

Hi Bruno,

Thank you for your answer, after several tries I can backup and restore the HP ProLiant DL120 Gen9 Server, Dynamic Smart Array B140i RAID 5 Logical Drive 6 TB from created CDs - CentOS 7.
I used expert mode, partitioning my raid array with parted, formated the partitions, changed mountlist.txt, fstab then run mondorestore in interactive mode and finally manually repair (grub2-mkconfig) the bootloader.
It works!! - Thank you.

Now I would make the last step - restoring directly from my NFS Server where the isos were created.
I am not able to tell mondorestore to take the isos from my NFS Server:
Mondorestore cannot mount my NFS Disk - but I can mount it manually with:
mount 192.168.100.3:/DiskD -t nfs -o nolock /mnt/isodir if I omit the parameter -o nolock mount will not mount the drive. 

What I did:
- booted from first mondorestore CDs
- expert mode
- parted, format and change mountlist.txt
- start mr-mount-me
- start mondorestore
- choose Interactively
- read from: Net mount
- Network Protokol: nfs
- Network share: 192.168.100.3:/DiskD
- Network user:  blank (no user)

After that I got "Please mount that partition before you try to backup to or restore from it."
I tried mount manually and then use source "hard disk" but it dídn't work too.
I appended mondorestore.log.

Thank you for any Help

Zbynek

mondoarchive in that case doesn't prepare a USB stick. Did you create it yourself ?
You need to start fomr the first neklan-1.iso image for that to work (it will in that case include the network drivers that you need at restore time so your NAS is found).

>After reboot and boot from USB I can see in boot menu only "expert" option, after click on "expert" the process ends with some errors see mondorestore.log.

You seem to have used the mindi ISO image instead. THat's not what you want.

Bruno.
