Hi Tom, I have it quite near the top of my to-do list to provide an update for Windows Server 2016. In the mean time...
The main difference is in the steps used to put the backup-archive client code in the bootable ISO image, given that verbatim instructions we currently have work only with the pre-spinstall packages. Another change (improvement) is in the command used to create the ISO image, which can be used for both BIOS and UEFI based systems. You no longer need to build one image for UEFI and another for BIOS. The steps for restore are the same as for earlier versions of Windows. Preparation: Install and use the latest ADK from Microsoft. As I write this, the latest version is for Windows 10, version 1703. Go to https://www.microsoft.com and search on "windows assessment and deployment kit" (without the quotes). Once you have that in place, proceed with the step 1. 1. Extract the 8.1 backup-archive client package. For example, if you get the package from our download site, you can extract it to directory C:\download with this command: 8.1.0.0-TIV-TSMBAC-WinX64.exe -oC:\download The root of the install image is TSMClient, so that directory structure will be created in C:\download. 2. In the ADK Deployment command prompt, issue: copype amd64 C:\WinPE_x64 3. Run this command to copy the client image to the WinPE media directory: robocopy C:\download\TSMClient C:\WinPE_x64\media /e 4. cd into C:\WinPE_x64\media 5. Run this command: dsmc-pe-x64 set 6. (optional) Clean up unneeded files: del *.ini *.mst *.msi *.htm *.exe *.spd *.cmd rd /s /q common64 commonappdata ibmspjvm issetupprerequisites system64 win windows 7. Run this command to build the WinPE bootable ISO image: MakeWinPEMedia /ISO C:\WinPE_x64 C:\WinPE_x64.iso Best regards, Andy ____________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Raibeck | IBM Spectrum Protect Level 3 | [email protected] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager links: Product support: https://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/product/tivoli/tivoli_storage_manager Online documentation: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7/landing/welcome_ssgsg7.html Product Wiki: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> wrote on 2017-04-20 14:38:13: > From: Tom Alverson <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: 2017-04-20 14:39 > Subject: BMR with Spectrum Protect 8.1 on Windows 2016 ?? > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> > > The only instructions I can find for BMR do not mention Server 2016 (see > link below).
