ARCserve 11.1 DRO on Netware 6.0

[dbsseal]

I recently upgraded 11.1 to SP 1 with the DRO installed. While trying to create the CD image, I am receiving a consistent failure at the 'insert the Netware OS CD' stage. The DROPTION.log file shes the line: Failed to extract Boot Image, Boot Catalog, & Boot Record from CD. I am using our SBS OS bootable CD, but can not figure out why this is occuring. Thanks for your help!

Not sure SBS was ever supported for the DR Option.

Really hoping that is not the case. If so, can I download the files necessary to create a Netware 6 bootable CD to complete the DRO image?

Maybe you can get it from Novell's site, but to be honest if it wasn't designed for SBS recovery I don't see it working.

That baffles me. Why would it be different? It's still Netware 6 whether its part of the suite or stand-alone. Waiting to hear from CA what their take is.

This is getting better. So I found out that if you create a bootable CD from the latest service pack, droption recognizes this and likes it (because it wants to boot from the floppy). What it doesn't like is that it can't find the file MY_DISC:\INSTALL\DRDOS\BRFIX.EXE. I have never heard of brfix.exe. Nor is it ANYWHERE on the internet. If a CA person monitors this forum, I would be extremely interested to see an explanation for this one.
