- The OS does not start up with the intended volumes after the restore.Arcserve, ECL2.0
In Redhat Enterprise Linux environment, when you restore a virtual machine which has multiple volumes by using CentOS-based recovery media (*), there is a case the OS does not start with the intended root volume after the restore even if the restore was successful.
In this case, please confirm the following points.

When Arcserve UDP 6.5 is used in the Linux environment on the Virtual Server, the event that acquisition of backup rarely fails has been confirmed. As confirmed by us, it seems that the connection against the metadata service of Virtual Server occurs when Arcserve backup job was executed, and the backup job failed due to this connection.
Customers should take following actions.
Target
Backup with Arcserve UDP 6.5 in Linux environment on Virtual Server.
Cause
The cause should exist in the connection specification against the metadata service of Virtual Server, which has been added from Arcserve UDP 6.5.
We confirmed that the backup job is successfully completed with this connection shut-off.
We are requesting to Arcserve that they confirm and improve this issue.Action
When you launch the backup job, you should shut off the connection against the metadata service following below procedure.
(Connection against the metadata service occurs only at instance startup, so even if this action is done, there is no impact on connection against the metadata service)- How to shut off the connection against the metadata service.
#sudo iptables –A OUTPUT –d 169.254.169.254 –j DROP
- How to resume the connection against the metadata service.
#sudo iptables –D OUTPUT –d 169.254.169.254 –j DROP
