Release Notes
Enhancements
The following is a list of enhancements implemented in NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Plug-in Offline Client for
Linux 13.1.

Table 1. General enhancements

Enhancement Issue ID
Updated the client to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.4 and CentOS 8.4 for the VaultOS DNBMR-1252
component.

Known issues
The following is a list of issues, including those issues attributed to third-party products, known to exist at the time
of release.

Table 2. General known issues

Known issue Issue ID


Proprietary driver support: Plug-in Offline Client, which is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux DNBMR-620
(RHEL) Rescue mode, includes support options that are limited by RHEL. However, you can (17898,
install drivers on your own RescueCD/RescueUSB device to restore your environment. VDG-187)
Backing up Dynamic Disks is only supported by using Disk Raw Mode. DNBMR-688
(17966,
VDG-252)
Restoring a GPT partition table to a larger disk results in a new partition that is the same DNBMR-689
size as the original: When a DR image is taken, the partition table is stored with it. At restore (17967,
time, this partition is written to the new target disk and re-creates the original disk. If you restore VDG-253)
to a disk that is larger than the original, the disk is partitioned to match the original size, which
can result in unused disk space. For example, if you restore a 100GB image to a 200GB disk, it
is partitioned for 100GB and leaves the extra space unused. You can use third-party partitioning
tools, such as GNU Parted or PartitionMagic, to correct this issue.
Restarting a machine that was booted using VaultOS intermittently causes a General Protection DNBMR-948
Fault. If you restart the machine, it should boot normally. (24236)
The plug-in does not support backup and restore jobs that use NetVault SmartDisk as a target. DNBMR-1015
The progress of a backup or restore job is intermittently not displayed in some pages of the DNBMR-1095
NetVault Backup web-based user interface (WebUI).
The plug-in does not support RAS devices, including SmartDisk, QoreStor, and DR, as targets. DNBMR-1218
